Volumes of Picard modular surfaces
We show that the conjectural cusped complex hyperbolic 2-orbifolds of minimal volume are the two smallest arithmetic complex hyperbolic 2orbifolds. We then show that every arithmetic cusped complex hyperbolic 2-manifold of minimal volume covers one of these two orbifolds. We also give all minimal volume manifolds that simultaneously cover both minimal orbifolds.

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of SO(1, n). As a result we prove that for any even dimension n there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic n-orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an e...
متن کاملLower 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...
متن کاملCompact 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.
متن کاملMinimum 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...
