Large volume fibered knots in 3-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2026-04-08 v2

Abstract

We prove that for hyperbolic fibered knots in any closed, connected, oriented 3-manifold the volume and genus are unrelated. As an application we answer a question of Hirose, Kalfagianni, and Kin about volumes of mapping tori that are double branched covers.
