Three dimensional manifolds, Kleinian groups and hyperbolic geometry

TL;DR: In the case of negative Euler characteristic (genus greater than 1) such a metric gives a hyperbolic structure: any small neighborhood in a surface is isometric to a neighborhood in the hyper-bolic plane, and the surface itself is the quotient of the hyperbola by a discrete group of motions as discussed by the authors.

The inverse mean curvature flow and the Riemannian Penrose Inequality

TL;DR: In this article, a theory of weak solutions of the inverse mean curvature flow was developed and employed to prove the Riemannian Penrose inequality for each connected component of a 3-manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature.

Another Report on Harmonic Maps

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a map (f>:{M,g)-+(N,h) between Riemannian manifolds which is continuous and of class L\\ is harmonic if and only if it is a critical point of the energy functional.

Notes on Perelman's papers

TL;DR: In this paper, the Ricci flow with surgery with surgery was shown to die in a finite time, which is the case for the Poincar´ e Conjecture.
