### The Volume of complete anti-de Sitter 3-manifolds

Up to a finite cover, closed anti-de Sitter $3$-manifolds are quotients of $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,1)$ by a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,1) \times \mathrm{SO}_0(2,1)$ of the form \[j\times

Abstract Let Γ be a nonuniform lattice acting on the real hyperbolic n-space. We show that in dimension greater than or equal to 4, the volume of a representation is constant on each connected

### A note on the integrality of volumes of representations

Let Γ be a torsion-free, non-uniform lattice in SO ( 2 n, 1 ) . We present an elementary, combinatorial–geometrical proof of a theorem of Bucher, Burger, and Iozzi in [BBI21] which states that the

We use bounded cohomology to define a notion of volume of an $$\operatorname{SO}(n,1)$$-valued representation of a lattice $$\varGamma<\operatorname{SO}(n,1)$$ and, using this tool, we give a

AbstractWe prove a volume-rigidity theorem for Fuchsian representations of fundamental groups of hyperbolic k-manifolds into Isom $$\mathbb{H}^n$$. Namely, we show that if M is a complete hyperbolic

Let W be a compact manifold and let ρ be a representation of its fundamental group into PSL(2, C). Then the volume of ρ is defined by taking any ρ-equivariant map from the universal cover W~ to ℍ 3

We prove that the norm of the Euler class $${\mathcal {E}}$$ for flat vector bundles is 2−n (in even dimension n, since it vanishes in odd dimension). This shows that the Sullivan–Smillie bound
