Bounds on exceptional Dehn filling. II (Q991849): Difference between revisions

Thurston demonstrated that if one has a hyperbolic knot complement, all but finitely many Dehn fillings give hyperbolic manifolds. Call a Dehn filling exceptional if it is not hyperbolic. In the first paper under the same title [Geom. Topol. 4, 431--449 (2000; Zbl 0959.57009)] the author improved the Gromov-Thurston \(2\pi\)-theorem. In the paper under review it is proved that there are at most finitely many one cusped hyperbolic manifolds which have exceptional Dehn fillings \(r_1\), \(r_2\) such that \(\Delta(r_1,r_2)> 5\) (where \(\Delta(r_1,r_2)\) denotes the intersection numbers of the slopes of the Dehn fillings). Moreover it is shown that determining these finitely many manifolds is decidable.
