#### Mostow Rigidity: several proofs

Mostow rigidity (or, technically, the special case thereof, for , states that if M and N are two closed (i.e. compact and boundary-less) hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and is a homotopy equivalence. 1,185 more words

#### SnapPy 2.4 released

A new version of SnapPy, a program for studying the topology and geometry of 3-manifolds, is available.  Added features include a census of Platonic manifolds, rigorous computation of cusp translations, and substantial improvements to its link diagram component.

#### Hyperbolic Geometry Note #2: On Möbius transformations as isometries of the upper half plane

Möbius transformations are conformal (i.e., angle-preserving), orientation-preserving, area-preserving isometries in the upper half-plane model of hyperbolic space. It piqued my interest to discover that the form of the metric in this model (which I discussed in… 732 more words
