Poor ideal three-edge triangulations are minimal (Q820500): Difference between revisions

``An ideal triangulation of a compact 3-manifold with nonempty boundary is known to be minimal if and only if the triangulation contains the minimum number of edges among all ideal triangulations of the manifold. Therefore, every ideal one-edge triangulation (i.e., an ideal singular triangulation with exactly one edge) is minimal. Vesnin, Turaev, and Fominykh showed that an ideal two-edge triangulation is minimal if no \(3\)-\(2\) Pachner move can be applied [\textit{A. Yu. Vesnin} et al., Sb. Math. 207, No. 11, 1493--1511 (2016; Zbl 1362.57028); translation from Mat. Sb. 207, No. 11, 4--24 (2016)].'' In this paper the authors prove (Theorem \(1\)) that each of the so-called poor ideal three-edge triangulations is minimal. They construct a three-parameter family of such triangulations (Theorem \(2\)) and prove that if all parameters have the same values, the corresponding 3-manifolds are hyperbolic with totally geodesic boundary (Theorem \(3\)).
