Minimum-volume Hyperbolic 3-manifolds

چکیده
The classification of small-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds has been an active problem for many years, ever since Thurston suggested that volume was a measure of the complexity of a hyperbolic 3-manifold. Quite recently in [GMM3] the author along with David Gabai and Robert Meyerhoff used a geometrical construction called a Mom-n structure to tackle the classification problem, and succeeded in showing the following:

Minimum Volume Cusped Hyperbolic Three-manifolds
This corollary extends work of Cao and Meyerhoff who had earlier shown that m003 and m004 were the smallest volume cusped manifolds. Also, the above list agrees with the SnapPea census of one-cusped manifolds produced by Jeff Weeks ([W]), whose initial members are conjectured to be an accurate list of small-volume cupsed manifolds. Let N be a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold with simple closed geod...
متن کاملComplexity of PL manifolds
We extend Matveev’s complexity of 3-manifolds to PL compact manifolds of arbitrary dimension, and we study its properties. The complexity of a manifold is the minimum number of vertices in a simple spine. We study how this quantity changes under the most common topological operations (handle additions, finite coverings, drilling and surgery of spheres, products, connected sums) and its relation...

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...

متن کاملThe Volume of a Hyperbolic 3-manifold with Betti Number 2
In a forthcoming paper [4] we will show that if one excludes certain special manifolds, such as fiber bundles over S, then the same estimate holds for hyperbolic manifolds with Betti number 1. Our volume estimates can be placed in context by comparing them with volume estimates for general hyperbolic manifolds, as well as with volumes of known examples. The largest known lower bound for the vol...
