Counting hyperbolic manifolds with bounded diameter (Q2490381)

The paper gives upper and lower bounds for the number \(N(d,D)\) of closed hyperbolic manifolds of dimension \(d \geq 3\) and of diameter \(D\), for \(D\) large. More precisely, the following result is obtained. For each \(d\geq 3\) there exist constants \(c_1, c_2>0\) such that for \(D \gg 0\) the following holds. For \(d=3\), \[ c_1 D < \log \log N(d,D) < 5D +c_2 . \] Whereas, if \(d \geq 4\) then \[ c_1 D < \log \log N(d,D) < (d-1) D + c_2. \] The proof uses Mostow's Rigidity Theorem and an estimate by Reznikov on the injectivity radius, see \textit{A. Reznikov} [Topology 34, No. 2, 477--479 (1995; Zbl 1008.53041)].
