Hyperbolic 4-manifolds and tesselations (Q583664)

The author generalizes the construction of \textit{M. Gromov}, \textit{B. Lawson} and \textit{W. Thurston} [reviewed above (see Zbl 0692.57012)] to non-trivial plane bundles over a compact surface by putting emphasis on tesselations and discrete actions of groups \(\Gamma_{\nu,n}\subset SO(4,1)\) generated by involutions (see the similar approach in Ch. 9, {\S} 5 of the reviewer's book ``The geometry of discrete groups in space and uniformization problems'', (Kluwer Academic Publ. (Math. Appl. 40), Dordrecht, 1990)). This makes the construction more transparent and yields moduli, in particular rigidity (iff \(\gcd (\nu,n)=1)\) for certain tesselation hyperbolic 4-manifolds \(M^ 4\) and conformal 3-manifolds (at infinity of \(M^ 4)\) which are Seifert fibered manifolds. For a detailed description of the Teichmüller space for such 3-manifolds see \textit{K. Ohshika}'s paper in Topology Appl. 27, No.1, 75-93 (1987; Zbl 0637.57010).
