Volume and rigidity of hyperbolic polyhedral 3-manifolds

چکیده
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 determined up to isometry and change of decorations by its curvature. The main tool used in the proof is the Fenchel dual of the volume function.

Rigidity of geometrically finite hyperbolic cone-manifolds
In a recent paper Hodgson and Kerckhoff [HK] prove a local rigidity theorem for finite volume, 3 dimensional hyperbolic cone-manifolds. In this paper we extend this result to geometrically finite cone-manifolds. Our methods also give a new proof of a local version of the classical rigidity theorem for geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
متن کاملGlobal rigidity of 3-dimensional cone-manifolds
We prove global rigidity for compact hyperbolic and spherical cone-3-manifolds with cone-angles ≤ π (which are not Seifert fibered in the spherical case), furthermore for a class of hyperbolic cone-3-manifolds of finite volume with cone-angles ≤ π, possibly with boundary consisting of totally geodesic hyperbolic turnovers. To that end we first generalize the local rigidity result contained in [...
متن کاملLocal Rigidity of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds after Dehn Surgery
It is well known that some lattices in SO(n, 1) can be nontrivially deformed when included in SO(n+1, 1) (e.g., via bending on a totally geodesic hypersurface); this contrasts with the (super) rigidity of higher rank lattices. M. Kapovich recently gave the first examples of lattices in SO(3, 1) which are locally rigid in SO(4, 1) by considering closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn fil...

متن کاملThurston’s Spinning Construction and Solutions to the Hyperbolic Gluing Equations for Closed Hyperbolic 3–manifolds
We show that the hyperbolic structure on a closed, orientable, hyperbolic 3–manifold can be constructed from a solution to the hyperbolic gluing equations using any triangulation with essential edges. The key ingredients in the proof are Thurston’s spinning construction and a volume rigidity result attributed by Dunfield to Thurston, Gromov and Goldman. As an application, we show that this give...
