Mathematische Annalen Coxeter groups and hyperbolic manifolds

چکیده
The theory of Coxeter groups is used to provide an algebraic construction of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. Combinatorial properties of finite images of these groups can be used to compute the volumes of the resulting manifolds. Three examples, in 4, 5 and 6-dimensions, are given, each of very small volume, and in one case of smallest possible volume.

Mathematische Annalen Manifolds with quadratic curvature decay and fast volume growth
We give sufficient conditions for a noncompact Riemannian manifold, which has quadratic curvature decay, to have finite topological type with ends that are cones over spherical space forms.
متن کاملA simple method to compute volumes of even-dimensional Coxeter polyhedra
Understanding and computing volumes of hyperbolic manifolds and orbifolds is a rich and fascinating subject. There are for instance deep connections with number theory, more specifically special values of arithmetic functions such as Dedekind ζ-functions, Dirichlet L-functions and polylogarithms (see [Za], [K2], Prasad’s volume formula from [P] as used in the hyperbolic case in [Be] and [BE]). ...
متن کاملThe Smallest Hyperbolic 6-manifolds
By gluing together copies of an all-right angled Coxeter polytope a number of open hyperbolic 6-manifolds with Euler characteristic −1 are constructed. They are the first known examples of hyperbolic 6-manifolds having the smallest possible volume.

The Coxeter simplex with symbol is a compact hyperbolic 4-simplex and the related Coxeter group Γ is a discrete subgroup of Isom(H 4). The Coxeter simplex with symbol is a spherical 3-simplex, and the related Coxeter group G is the group of symmetries of the regular 120-cell. Using the geometry of the regular 120-cell, Davis [3] constructed an epimorphism Γ → G whose kernel K was torsion-free, ...
متن کامل3-manifolds from Platonic solids
The problem of classifying, up to isometry, the orientable spherical and hyperbolic 3-manifolds that arise by identifying the faces of a Platonic solid is formulated in the language of Coxeter groups. This allows us to complete the classification begun by Best [Canad. J. Math. 23 (1971) 451], Lorimer [Pacific J. Math. 156 (1992) 329], Richardson and Rubinstein [Hyperbolic manifolds from a regul...
