Regenerating hyperbolic cone 3-manifolds from dimension 2 (Q2445518)

The space of hyperbolic cone 3-manifolds with fixed topological type and with cone angles less than \(\pi\) is well understood, but the boundary of this space is not. In the present paper it is shown that a closed 3-orbifold that fibers over a hyperbolic polygonal 2-orbifold admits a family of hyperbolic cone structures that are viewed as regenerations of the polygon, provided that the perimeter is minimal.
