The length spectra of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds and their totally geodesic surfaces

چکیده
We examine the relationship between the length spectrum and the geometric genus spectrum of an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold M . In particular we analyze the extent to which the geometry of M is determined by the closed geodesics coming from finite area totally geodesic surfaces. Using techniques from analytic number theory, we address the following problems: Is the commensurability class of an arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifold determined by the lengths of closed geodesics lying on totally geodesic surfaces?, Do there exist arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifolds whose “short” geodesics do not lie on any totally geodesic surfaces?, and Do there exist arithmetic hyperbolic 3-orbifolds whose “short” geodesics come from distinct totally geodesic surfaces?

Non-simple Geodesics in Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Chinburg and Reid have recently constructed examples of hyperbolic 3manifolds in which every closed geodesic is simple. These examples are constructed in a highly non-generic way and it is of interest to understand in the general case the geometry of and structure of the set of closed geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds. For hyperbolic 3-manifolds which contain an immersed totally geodesic surf...
متن کاملParametrizing Shimura Subvarieties of A1 Shimura Varieties and Related Geometric Problems
This paper gives a complete parametrization of the commensurability classes of totally geodesic subspaces of irreducible arithmetic quotients of Xa,b = (H ) × (H). A special case describes all Shimura subvarieties of type A1 Shimura varieties. We produce, for any n ≥ 1, examples of manifolds/Shimura varieties with precisely n commensurability classes of totally geodesic submanifolds/Shimura sub...
متن کاملGeodesic Intersections in Arithmetic Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
It was shown by Chinburg and Reid that there exist closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds in which all closed geodesics are simple. Subsequently, Basmajian and Wolpert showed that almost all quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifolds have all closed geodesics simple and disjoint. The natural conjecture arose that the Chinburg-Reid examples also had disjoint geodesics. Here we show that this conjecture is both almost tr...
متن کاملSystoles of Arithmetic Hyperbolic Surfaces and 3–manifolds
Our main result is that for any positive real number x0, the set of commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2– or 3–manifolds with fixed invariant trace field k and systole bounded below by x0 has density one within the set of all commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2– or 3–manifolds with invariant trace field k. The proof relies upon bounds for the absolute logarithmic ...
متن کاملThe Behaviour of Eigenstates of Arithmetic Hyperbolic Manifolds
In this paper we study some problems arising from the theory of Quantum Chaos, in the context of arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds. We show that there is no strong localization ("scarring") onto totally geodesic submanifolds. Arithmetic examples are given, which show that the random wave model for eigenstates does not apply universally in 3 degrees of freedom.
