    Abstract

    For a complete hyperbolic three manifold M, we consider the representations
    of its fundamental group obtained by composing a lift of the holonomy with
    complex finite dimensional representations of SL(2,C). We prove a vanishing
    result for the cohomology of M with coefficients twisted by these
    representations, using techniques of Matsushima-Murakami. We give some
    applications to local rigidity.

  2. Infinitesimal projective rigidity under Dehn filling.

    Abstract

    To a hyperbolic manifold one can associate a canonical projective structure
    and ask whether it can be deformed or not. In a cusped manifold, one can ask
    about the existence of deformations that are trivial on the boundary. We prove
    that if the canonical projective structure of a cusped manifold is
    infinitesimally projectively rigid relative to the boundary, then infinitely
    many Dehn fillings are projectively rigid.
