Abstract

In this paper we describe a function Fn:R+R+F_n:{\bf R}_+ \to {\bf R}_{+} such that for any hyperbolic n-manifold MM with totally geodesic boundary M\partial M \neq \emptyset, the volume of MM is equal to the sum of the values of FnF_n on the {\em orthospectrum} of MM. We derive an integral formula for FnF_n in terms of elementary functions. We use this to give a lower bound for the volume of a hyperbolic n-manifold with totally geodesic boundary in terms of the area of the boundary.
