We also prove a complementary result showing that under certain rigidity hypotheses, branched covers of amphicheiral knots admit non-trivial, strictly convex deformations near their complete hyperbolic structure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-01-13T20:10:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "projective manifolds", "complete hyperbolic structure", "amphicheiral knots admit non-trivial", "non-compact", "inequivalent strictly convex projective structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.8419B" } } }
