Three-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds with general fundamental polyhedron (Q1177815)

Given an integer \(N\), the paper constructs \(2N+1\) distinct closed hyperbolic \(3\)-manifolds which share a compact fundamental polyhedron. The author describes the fundamental groups \(G_ i\subset Isom\;H^ 3\) of that \(3\)-manifolds as the kernels of epimorphisms \(\phi:G_ N\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}_ 2\oplus\mathbb{Z}_ 2\oplus\mathbb{Z}_ 2\) of groups \(G_ N\) generated by reflections in sides of polyhedra \(P_ N\subset H^ 3\). For the first time, this result was obtained (in a more costructive way) in a joint work of the reviewer and \textit{I. Gutsul} [Closed hyperbolic \(3\)-manifolds of equal volumes, Mat. Issled. 119, 13-28 (1990); English version: Greatly symmetric totally geodesic surfaces and closed hyperbolic manifolds which share a fundamental polyhedron, ''Topology '90'', Proc. Low-dimensional Topology Semester at Ohio St. Univ., W. de Gruyter Verlag (Berlin; New York)]. For non-compact arithmetic manifolds, see \textit{N. J. Wielenberg} [Ann. Math. Stud. 97, 505-517 (1981; Zbl 0465.30039)].
