Abstract

In this article we verify an orbifold version of a conjecture of Nimershiem from 1998. Namely, for every flat nn-manifold MM, we show that the set of similarity classes of flat metrics on MM which occur as a cusp cross-section of a hyperbolic (n+1)(n+1)-orbifold is dense in the space of similarity classes of flat metrics on MM. The set used for density is precisely the set of those classes which arise in arithmetic orbifolds.
