Abstract

On finite-volume hyperbolic 33-manifolds, we compare volumes of different metrics using the exponential convergence of Ricci-DeTurck flow toward the hyperbolic metric h0h_0. We prove that among metrics with scalar curvature bounded below by 6-6, h0h_0 minimizes the volume. Moreover, for metrics that are either uniformly C2C^2-close to h0h_0 or asymptotically cusped of order at least two, equality holds if and only if the metric is isometric to h0h_0.
