We exhibit closed hyperbolic manifolds with arbitrarily small systole in each dimension that are not quasi-arithmetic in the sense of Vinberg, and are thus not commensurable to those constructed by Agol, Belolipetsky--Thomson, and…

We introduce and study some deformations of complete finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifolds that may be interpreted as four-dimensional analogues of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling. We construct in particular an analytic path of…

We prove that the Whitehead link complement and the (-2, 3, 8) pretzel link complement are the minimal volume orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with two cusps, with volume 3.66... = 4 x Catalan's constant. We use topological arguments to…

D. D. Long and A. W. Reid have shown that some compact flat 3-manifold cannot be diffeomorphic to a cusp cross-section of any complete finite volume 1-cusped real hyperbolic 4-manifold. This note concerns the complex hyperbolic case. We…

In this work we construct non-holomorphic, complete and minimal submanifolds of the odd-dimensional complex projective spaces $\cn P^{2n-1}$ and their dual complex hyperbolic spaces $\cn H^{2n-1}$. We then provide complete minimal…

We extend the complete census of orientable cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifolds to $10$ tetrahedra, giving the next $150730$ manifolds and their $496638$ minimal ideal triangulations. As applications, we find the precisely $439898$ exceptional…

First steps towards a classification of irreducible symplectic 4-folds whose integral 2-cohomology with 4-tuple cup product is isomorphic to that of Hilb^2(K3). We prove that any such 4-fold deforms to an irreducible symplectic 4-fold of…

We enumerate the small-volume manifolds that can be obtained by Dehn filling on Mom-2 and Mom-3 manifolds as defined by Gabai, Meyerhoff, and the author. In so doing we complete the proof that the Weeks manifold is the minimum-volume…

Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about v^v such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to…

The Hessian of the renormalized volume of geometrically finite hyperbolic $3$-manifolds without rank-$1$ cusps, computed at the hyperbolic metric $g$ with totally geodesic boundary of the convex core, is shown to be a strictly positive…

We give new information about the geometry of closed, orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds with 4-free fundamental group. As an application we show that such a manifold has volume greater than 3.44. This is in turn used to show that if M is a…

We determine the lowest volume hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedron whose corresponding hyperbolic polyhedral 3-orbifold contains an essential 2-suborbifold, up to a canonical decomposition along essential hyperbolic triangle 2-suborbifolds.

We produce infinitely many distinct irreducible smooth 4-manifolds homeomorphic to #(2m+1)(CP^2 # -CP^2) and #(2n+1)(S^2 x S^2), respectively, for each m>3 and n>4. These provide the smallest exotic closed simply connected 4-manifolds with…

In this article, we construct the first example of a simply connected minimal symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to 3CP^2#7CP^2b. We also construct the first exotic symplectic structure on CP^2#5CP^2b.

We construct explicit maximal symplectic packings of minimal rational and ruled symplectic 4-manifolds by few balls in a very simple way.

Let $M$ be a volume finite non-compact complete hyperbolic $n$-manifold with totally geodesic boundary. We show that there exists a polyhedral decomposition of $M$ such that each cell is either an ideal polyhedron or a partially truncated…

In a recent paper Garoufalidis and Reid constructed pairs of 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds which are isospectral but not isometric. In this paper we extend this work to the multi-cusped setting by constructing isospectral but not…

For X = R, C, or H it is well known that cusp cross-sections of finite volume X-hyperbolic (n+1)-orbifolds are flat n-orbifolds or almost flat orbifolds modelled on the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group N_{2n+1} or the (4n+3)-dimensional…

Let M be a hyperbolic n-manifold whose cusps have torus cross-sections. In arXiv:0901.0056, the authors constructed a variety of nonpositively and negatively curved spaces as "2\pi-fillings" of M by replacing the cusps of M with compact…

Kerckhoff and Storm conjectured that compact hyperbolic n-orbifolds with totally geodesic boundary are infinitesimally rigid when n>3. This paper verifies this conjecture for a specific example based on the 4-dimensional hyperbolic…
