Abstract

We develop a way of seeing a complete orientable hyperbolic 44-manifold M\mathcal{M} as an orbifold cover of a Coxeter polytope PH4\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{H}^4 that has a facet colouring. We also develop a way of finding totally geodesic sub-manifolds N\mathcal{N} in M\mathcal{M}, and describing the result of mutations along N\mathcal{N}. As an application of our method, we construct an example of a complete orientable hyperbolic 44-manifold X\mathcal{X} with a single non-toric cusp and a complete orientable hyperbolic 44-manifold Y\mathcal{Y} with a single toric cusp. Both X\mathcal{X} and Y\mathcal{Y} have twice the minimal volume among all complete orientable hyperbolic 44-manifolds.
