Surgeries on small volume hyperbolic 3-orbifolds (Q2760686)

The goal is to study closed hyperbolic 3-orbifolds, obtained by the Dehn surgery on the cusps of noncompact hyperbolic 3-orbifolds of the smallest volumes, and the coverings of the orbifolds by hyperbolic 3-manifolds, obtained by the Dehn surgery on links. A connection with the hyperbolic 3-manifolds makes it possible to calculate the volumes of the orbifolds and their coverings using Jeff Weeks' SnapPea program.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe attention is focused on the three smallest hyperbolic 3-orbifolds with nonrigid cusp. These orbifolds were obtained by \textit{Colin C. Adams} in [Mich. Math. J. 46, No. 3, 515-531 (1999; Zbl 0961.57010)]. The first of them is the well-known Picard orbifold. For these three orbifolds and their covering manifolds, the coverings diagrams are studied in detail. A connection between the parameters of the surgeries on the orbifolds and the corresponding manifolds is established and applied for calculating the volumes.
