Hyperbolic manifolds with polyhedral boundary

چکیده
Let (M, ∂M) be a compact 3-manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact hyperbolic metric. We are interested in the following question: Question A Let h be a (non-smooth) metric on ∂M , with curvature K > −1. Is there a unique hyperbolic metric g on M , with convex boundary, such that the induced metric on ∂M is h ? There is also a dual statement: Question B Let h be a (non-smooth) metric on ∂M , such that its universal cover is CAT(1). Is there a unique hyperbolic metric g on M , with convex boundary, such that the third fundamental form of ∂M is h ? Many partial results are known on those questions when M is a ball, and a few in more general cases. We are interested here in the special case where ∂M locally looks like an ideal polyhedron in H. We can give a fairly complete answer to question B — which in this case concerns the dihedral angles — and some partial results on question A. This also has some interesting by-products, for instance a flat affine structure on the Teichmüller space of a surface with some marked points.

متن کاملVolume and rigidity of hyperbolic polyhedral 3-manifolds
We investigate the rigidity of hyperbolic cone metrics on 3-manifolds which are isometric gluing of ideal and hyper-ideal tetrahedra in hyperbolic spaces. These metrics will be called ideal and hyperideal hyperbolic polyhedral metrics. It is shown that a hyper-ideal hyperbolic polyhedral metric is determined up to isometry by its curvature and a decorated ideal hyperbolic polyhedral metric is d...
متن کاملSobolev Spaces on Lie Manifolds and Polyhedral Domains
We study Sobolev spaces on Lie manifolds, which we define as a class of manifolds described by vector fields (see Definition 1.2). The class of Lie manifolds includes the Euclidean spaces Rn, asymptotically flat manifolds, conformally compact manifolds, and manifolds with cylindrical and polycylindrical ends. As in the classical case of Rn, we define Sobolev spaces using derivatives, powers of ...
متن کاملVirtually fibred Montesinos Links
William Thurston conjectured over twenty years ago that every compact hyperbolic 3manifold whose boundary is a possibly empty union of tori is finitely covered by a manifold which fibres over the circle. If true, it provides a significant amount of global information about the topology of such manifolds. The first non-trivial examples supporting the conjecture were obtained by Gabai [Ga1] (1986...
متن کاملVirtually Embedded Boundary Slopes
We show that for certain hyperbolic manifolds all boundary slopes are slopes of π1-injective immersed surfaces, covered by incompressible embeddings in some finite cover. The manifolds include hyperbolic punctured torus bundles and hyperbolic two-bridge knots.
