In this note we show that every integer is the signature of a non-compact, oriented, hyperbolic 4-manifold of finite volume, and give some partial results on the geography of such manifolds. The main ingredients are a theorem of Long and…

Given a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M of volume V, and a link L in M such that the complement M \ L is hyperbolic, we establish a bound for the systole length of M \ L in terms of V. This extends a result of Adams and Reid, who showed that…

In this paper we study the systoles of arithmetic hyperbolic 2- and 3-manifolds. Our first result is the construction of infinitely many arithmetic hyperbolic 2- and 3-manifolds which are pairwise noncommensurable, all have the same…

This is a short survey on finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifolds. We describe some general theorems and focus on the concrete examples that we found in the literature. The paper contains no new result.

We build a non-compact, orientable, hyperbolic four-manifold of finite volume that does not admit any spin structure.

We show that the length $R$ of a systole of a closed hyperbolic $n$-manifold $(n \geq 3)$ admitting a triangulation by $t$ $n$-simplices can be bounded below by a function of $n$ and $t$, namely \[ R \geq \frac{1}{2^{(nt)^{O(n^4t)} }} .\]…

We realize every closed flat 3-manifold as a cusp section of a complete, finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold whose symmetry group acts transitively on the set of cusps. Moreover, for every such 3-manifold, a dense subset of its flat metrics…

Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…

In this paper, for each finite group $G$, we construct explicitly a non-compact complete finite-volume arithmetic hyperbolic $4$-manifold $M$ such that $\mathrm{Isom}\,M \cong G$, or $\mathrm{Isom}^{+}\,M \cong G$. In order to do so, we use…

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…

In all dimensions $n \ge 4$ not of the form $4m+3$, we show that there exists a closed hyperbolic $n$-manifold which is not the boundary of a compact $(n+1)$-manifold. The proof relies on the relationship between the cobordism class and the…

A 4-manifold is constructed with some curious metric properties; or maybe it is many 4-manifolds masquerading as one, which would explain why it looks curious. Anyway, knots in the 3-sphere with complete finite volume hyperbolic metrics on…

We introduce a simple algorithm which transforms every four-dimensional cubulation into a cusped finite-volume hyperbolic four-manifold. Combinatorially distinct cubulations give rise to topologically distinct manifolds. Using this…

In this paper we prove that certain hyperbolic link complements of $2$-tori in $S^4$ do not contain closed embedded totally geodesic hyperbolic $3$-manifolds.

We prove that the existence of one flat horosphere in the universal cover of a closed, strictly quarter pinched, negatively curved Riemannian manifold of dimension n with n greater than or equal to 3, implies that the manifold is homothetic…

In this paper, we describe all the hyperbolic 24-cell 4-manifolds with exactly one cusp. There are four of these manifolds up to isometry. These manifolds are the first examples of one-cusped hyperbolic 4-manifolds of minimum volume.
