If \\(\\;N\\) is compact with border, one considers complete metrics on the interior. It is known that if \\(N\\) and \\((M,g_{0})\\) are closed, connected oriented manifolds of the same dimension (greater or equal to 3), \\(g_{o}\\) is an hyperbolic metric and there is a continuous map \\(f:N\\rightarrow M\\) with degree \\(\\deg (f)\\neq 0;\\) then (1) \\(\\text{Minvol}(N)\\geq |\\deg (f)|\\text{vol}_{g_{0}}(M)\\).

NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEHyperbolic metrics play an important role for the minimal volume. If the manifold has a hyperbolic metric the minimal volume is attained by that metric (see the above mentioned paper by \\textit{G. Besson, G. Courtois} and \\textit{S. Gallot}, for the closed and for the open manifold see \\textit{J. Boland, C. Connel} and \\textit{J. S. Clement} in [``The minimal volume of open rank one symmetric manifolds'', preprint]). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThese results suggest the study of a similar problem for open manifolds. The solution of the problem is given in this article. The author proves that if \\(\\;M\\) is an \\(n\\)-dimensional (\\(n\\geq 3\\)) compact connected oriented manifold with a complete hyperbolic structure of finite volume, in its interior of finite volume, and such that its border is the union of tori \\(T^{n-1}\\), then there exists a compact connected manifold with border \\(N\\), non homeomorphic to \\(M\\) and a proper map \\(f:N\\rightarrow M\\) with degree \\(\\deg (f)=1\\) whose restriction to the border is a homeomorphism and such that (2) \\(\\text{Minvol}(N)\\leq \\text{vol}_{\\text{hyp}}(M)\\). Since the equality in (1) holds for open manifolds (see the preprint of \\textit{J. Boland, C. Connel} and \\textit{J. S. Clement} mentioned above) we will have equality in (2). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe rigidity theorem used to prove this result allows for the generalization to any dimension of a result obtained by \\textit{W. Thurston} in his notes [``The geometry and topology of 3 manifolds'', Princeton (1978; Zbl 0873.57001)]. Let \\(M\\) be an \\(n\\)-dimensional (\\(n\\geq 3\\)) closed oriented manifold. Let us suppose there is an open complete hyperbolic submanifold \\(X\\) of \\(M\\), with finite volume, such that \\(\\partial X=\\bigcup _{i=1}^{p}T_{i}^{n-1}\\) and each connected component of \\(M\\backslash X\\) is homeomorphic to \\(D^{2}\\times T^{n-2}\\). If \\(M\\) dominates a closed hyperbolic manifold \\((Y,g_{0})\\) by a map of degree 1, then \\(\\text{vol}_{\\text{hyp}}(X)> \\text{vol}_{g_{0}}(Y)\\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0955.00015].","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2709135$5A82144F-FB38-450E-9E7A-0740E2C7930D","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"8c22b250279a166983f0d9e1663cf77c3675d460","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":587841,"id":"Q587841"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2709135$5F867C39-B916-4B3E-894B-F2EFEFBD8183","rank":"normal"}],"P1643":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"0a34e8b02f057699975fef0a602d534c41218559","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":1572639,"id":"Q1572639"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"69ec5fbcb8bb90d74f8442bca8c09dcc7ed34e05","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.9336333274841307","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2709135$724B996F-F51A-42D4-9A00-02D6BE2BF5D0","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"463baae83ffce178fc840c93e79c8b483ea0bfac","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":1340626,"id":"Q1340626"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"776dcb011b9905c9cc5b91eec68c9b922e2c103b","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.9331995248794556","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2709135$10D336E4-23A3-4804-A1E8-983A90496D0C","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"35ba468a08eeb7e88ceec91fb5efd2e4d090fefe","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":1266445,"id":"Q1266445"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"189952790f0e61aa32736f70edbd9d6b3986eb75","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.8064239025115967","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2709135$C9EFF901-E2CC-496A-B412-EF45E410E14D","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"278cab7f4993c8c9a891260f37482f83f3775c5f","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":2970822,"id":"Q2970822"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"438cc4c0d1a85aa27a2ccbf60e2b291266d9862f","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.8050402402877808","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2709135$6881E3FA-6F60-4FEF-A0D3-C6CD5601968D","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1643","hash":"f3adb8f3a14a423dff2b789001c08e1bdbfe6516","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":3582165,"id":"Q3582165"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","qualifiers":{"P1659":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1659","hash":"06733144d46cb698c35d75421cf2cd20c5de7bcb","datavalue":{"value":{"amount":"+0.7968089580535889","unit":"1"},"type":"quantity"},"datatype":"quantity"}],"P1660":[{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1660","hash":"a327a09ea0305e98d5cf33bd4036320e19f2aed0","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":6821328,"id":"Q6821328"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"}]},"qualifiers-order":["P1659","P1660"],"id":"Q2709135$1A337F4C-EDC2-4CEA-B81B-478DCD642096","rank":"normal"}]},"sitelinks":{"mardi":{"site":"mardi","title":"Publication:2709135","badges":[],"url":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Publication:2709135"}}}}}
