Abstract

We consider non-orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds of finite volume M3M^3. When M3M^3 has an ideal triangulation Δ\Delta, we compute the deformation space of the pair (M3,Δ)(M^3, \Delta) (its Neumann Zagier parameter space). We also determine the variety of representations of π1(M3)\pi_1(M^3) in Isom(H3)\mathrm{Isom}(\mathbb{H}^3) in a neighborhood of the holonomy. As a consequence, when some ends are non-orientable, there are deformations from the variety of representations that cannot be realized as deformations of the pair (M3,Δ)(M^3, \Delta). We also discuss the metric completion of these structures and we illustrate the results on the Gieseking manifold.
