Let σ(n) be the minimum number of ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra necessary to construct a finite volumen-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold, orientable or not. Let σor(n) be the corresponding number when we restrict ourselves to orientable manifolds. The correct values of σ(n) and σor(n) and the corresponding manifolds are given forn=1,2,3,4 and 5. We then show that 2n−1≤σ(n)≤σor(n)≤4n−4 forn≥5 and that σor(n)≥2n for alln.

Cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds of complexity 10 having maximum volume
We give a complete census of orientable cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by gluing at most ten regular ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. Although the census is exhaustive, the question of…

We classify the topological types for the unions of the totally geodesic 3-punctured spheres in orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds. General types of the unions appear in various hyperbolic…
The complement of the figure-eight knot geometrically bounds
We show that some hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are tessellated by copies of the regular ideal hyperbolic tetrahedron embed geodesically in a complete, finite volume, hyperbolic 4-manifold. This…
Symmetries of hyperbolic 4-manifolds
In this paper, for each finite group $G$, we construct explicitly a non-compact complete finite-volume arithmetic hyperbolic $4$-manifold $M$ such that $\mathrm{Isom}\,M \cong G$, or…
A census of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds
TLDR
The census contains descriptions of all hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by gluing the faces of at most seven ideal tetrahedra and various geometric and topological invariants are calculated for these manifolds.
Dehn Filling of the "Magic" 3-manifold
We classify all the non-hyperbolic Dehn fillings of the complement of the chain-link with 3 components, conjectured to be the smallest hyperbolic 3-manifold with 3 cusps. We deduce the classification…
The cusped hyperbolic census is complete
TLDR
For the first time, it is proved here that the census meets its aim: it is rigorously certify that every ideal 3-manifold triangulation with <= 8 tetrahedra is either homeomorphic to one of the census manifolds, or non-hyperbolic.
A combinatorial curvature flow for ideal triangulations
We investigate a combinatorial analogue of the Ricci curvature flow for 3-dimensional hyperbolic cone structures, obtained by gluing together hyperbolic ideal tetrahedra. Our aim is to find a…
A-polynomials, Ptolemy equations and Dehn filling
TLDR
This work compute A-polynomials by starting with a triangulation of a manifold, then using symplectic properties of the NeumannZagier matrix encoding the gluings to change the basis of the computation, and the result is a simplicifation of the defining equations.
