Five tori in $S^4$
Abstract
Ivansic proved that there is a link of five tori in with hyperbolic complement. We describe explicitly with pictures, study its properties, and discover that is in many aspects similar to the Borromean rings in . In particular the following hold: (1) Any two tori in are unlinked, but three are not; (2) The complement is integral arithmetic hyperbolic; (3) The symmetry group of acts -transitively on its components for all ; (4) The double branched covering over has geometry ; (5) The fundamental group of has a nice presentation via commutators; (6) The Alexander ideal has an explicit simple description; (7) Every class with non-zero xi is represented by a perfect circle-valued Morse function; (8) By longitudinal Dehn surgery along we get a closed 4-manifold with fundamental group ; (9) The link can be put in perfect position. This leads also to the first descriptions of a cusped hyperbolic 4-manifold as a complement of tori in and as a complement of some explicit Lagrangian tori in the product of two surfaces of genus two.
