A fundamental object in a hyperbolic 3-manifold M is its convex core C(M), defined as the smallest closed non-empty convex subset of M. We investigate the way the geometry of the boundary S of C(M) varies as we vary the hyperbolic metric of…

We give lower bounds on the maximal injectivity radius for a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold M with first Betti number 2, under some additional topological hypotheses. A corollary of the main result is that if M has first Betti…

The inscribed radius of a compact manifold with boundary is bounded above if its Ricci curvature and mean curvature are bounded from below. The rigidity result implies that the upper bound can be achieved only in space form. In this paper,…

Let M and N be n-dimensional connected orientable finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with geodesic boundary, and let f be a given isomorphism between the fundamental groups of M and N. We study the problem whether there exists an isometry…

The Kauffman bracket skein module $K(M)$ of a $3$-manifold $M$ is the quotient of the $\mathbb{Q}(A)$-vector space spanned by isotopy classes of links in $M$ by the Kauffman relations. A conjecture of Witten states that if $M$ is closed…

In 3-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the classical Schlafli formula expresses the variation of the volume of a hyperbolic polyhedron in terms of the length of its edges and of the variation of its dihedral angles. We prove a similar…

We prove the following: 1. Let epsilon>0 and let S_1,S_2 be two closed hyperbolic surfaces. Then there exists locally-isometric covers S'_i of S_i (for i=1,2) such that there is a (1+\epsilon) bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism between S'_1 and…

We construct compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, such that the closed 3-pseudomanifolds obtained by coning off the boundary components are negatively curved and contain locally convex subspaces whose fundamental…

On a finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold, we establish an upper bound on the area of closed embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature at least one, depending on the mean curvature and the genus bounds. This area bound implies…

We show that there exist hyperbolic knots in the 3-sphere such that the set of points of large injectivity radius in the complement take up the bulk of the volume. More precisely, given a finite volume hyperbolic manifold, for any bound R>0…

This paper concerns with a rigidity of core geodesics in hyperbolic Dehn fillings. For instance, for an $n$-cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ having non-symmetric cusp shapes, we show any Dehn filling of $M$ with sufficiently large…

Let $M$ be a hyperbolic 3-manifold with no rank two cusps admitting an embedding in $\mathbb S^3$. Then, if $M$ admits an exhaustion by $\pi_1$-injective sub-manifolds there exists cantor sets $C_n\subset \mathbb S^3$ such that $N_n=\mathbb…
