On volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

چکیده

The main thrust of present note is a volume formula for hyperbolic surface bundle with the fundamental group G. The novelty consists in a purely algebraic approach to the above problem. Initially, we concentrate on the Baum-Connes morphism μ : K•(BG)→ K•(C ∗ redG) for our class of manifolds, and then classify μ in terms of the ideals in the ring of integers of a quadratic number field K. Next, we extract the topological data (e.g. volume of the orbifold H/G) from the arithmetic of field K.

Volumes of the Fibonacci manifolds

This paper is devoted to the study of the compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds uniformized by the Fibonacci groups. It is shown that their volumes are equal to volumes of non-compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds arising as complements of some well-known knots. All these volumes are described in terms of the Lobachevsky function.

Volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and mixed Tate motives

1. Volumes of (2n − 1)-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds and the Borel regulator on K2n−1(Q). Let M be an n-dimensional hyperbolic manifold with finite volume vol(M). If n = 2m is an even number, then by the Gauss-Bonnet theorem ([Ch]) vol(M) = −c2m · χ(M) where c2m = 1/2×(volume of sphere S of radius 1) and χ(M) is the Euler characteristic of M. This is straightforward for compact manifolds and...

Lower Bounds on Volumes of Hyperbolic Haken 3-manifolds

In this paper, we find lower bounds for the volumes of certain hyperbolic Haken 3manifolds. The theory of Jorgensen and Thurston shows that the volumes of hyperbolic 3-manifolds are well-ordered, but no one has been able to find the smallest one. The best known result for closed manifolds is that the smallest closed hyperbolic 3-manifold has volume > 0.16668, proven by Gabai, Meyerhoff, and Thu...

Compact Hyperbolic 4-manifolds of Small Volume

We prove the existence of a compact non-orientable hyperbolic 4-manifold of volume 32π2/3 and a compact orientable hyperbolic 4-manifold of volume 64π2/3, obtainable from torsion-free subgroups of small index in the Coxeter group [5, 3, 3, 3]. At the time of writing these are the smallest volumes of any known compact hyperbolic 4-manifolds.

This paper is the first in a series whose goal is to understand the structure of low-volume complete orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Here we introduce Mom technology and enumerate the hyperbolic Mom-n manifolds for n ≤ 4. Our longterm goal is to show that all low-volume closed and cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds are obtained by filling a hyperbolic Mom-n manifold, n ≤ 4 and to enumerate the lo...

Volumes of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Notes on a Paper of Gabai, Meyerhoff, and Milley

We present a new approach and improvements to the recent results of Gabai, Meyerhoff and Milley concerning tubes and short geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We establish the following two facts: if a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits an embedded tubular neighbourhood of radius r0 > 1.32 about any closed geodesic, then its volume exceeds that of the Weeks manifold. If the shortest geodesic of M ha...
