Geometric triangulations and highly twisted links

Abstract

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a geometric triangulation, i.e. it is decomposed into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. Here, we show that sufficiently highly twisted knots admit a geometric triangulation. In addition, by extending work of Gueritaud and Schleimer, we also give quantified versions of this result for infinite families of examples.
