Arithmetic hyperbolic surface bundles (Q1893222): Difference between revisions

The authors consider which finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds fibering over the circle are arithmetic. They show, in the non-compact case, that for any given topological type of fibre, there are only finitely many arithmetic examples up to cyclic commensurability. In the compact case, this is also true, given, in addition, a bound on the degree of the trace field -- this additional constraint being conjectured superfluous. When the fibre is a once-punctured torus, they give a complete classification: namely, the arithmetic manifolds are precisely the cyclic covers, or sisters of cyclic covers, of one of the three standard examples -- those having monodromies with left-right decompositions respectively \(LR\), \(L^2 R\) and \(L^2 R^2\).
