The minimal covolume right-angled Coxeter group in hyperbolic 3-space

Geometric Topology 2025-09-12 v1

Abstract

We prove that among all right-angled Coxeter groups in hyperbolic 3-space, the group generated by reflections in the faces of a right-angled triangular bipyramid with three ideal and two finite vertices has the smallest covolume. The group is arithmetic and its covolume equals Catalan's constant G = 0.915965....
