Cleanliness of geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds (Q1884527): Difference between revisions

The authors study properties of geodesics in cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold. They derive conditions for the existence of geodesics avoiding the cusps and use these geodesics to show that in ``almost all'' finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, infinitely many horoballs in the universal covering corresponding to a cusp are visible in a fundamental domain of the cusp when viewed from infinity. Here they say that ``almost all'' finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds have a property \(Q\) if, for any real number \(V > 0\), all but a finitely many with volume less than \(V\) have property \(Q\). As examples, the authors consider the figure-eight knot complement and the Whitehead link complement. Also, they discuss various implications of obtained results to number theoretic properties.
