Abstract

For a hyperbolic 3-manifold MM with a torus boundary component,all but finitely many Dehn fillings yield hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this paper, we will focus on the situation where MM has two exceptional Dehn fillings: an annular filling and a toroidal filling. For such situation, Gordon gave an upper bound 5 for the distance between such slopes. Furthermore, the distance 4 is realized only by two specific manifolds, and 5 is realized by a single manifold. These manifolds all have a union of two tori as their boundaries. Also, there is a manifold with three tori as its boundary which realizes the distance 3. We show that if the distance is three then the boundary of the manifold consists of at most three tori.
