General geometric structures on low-dimensional manifolds (57M50)

Abstract: Let M be a compact 3-manifold whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic structure. We let Lambda(M) be the supremum of the bottom eigenvalue of the Laplacian of N, where N varies over all hyperbolic 3-manifolds homeomorphic to the interior of M. Similarly, we let D(M) be the infimum of the Hausdorff dimensions of limit sets of Kleinian groups whose quotients are homeomorphic to the interior of M. We observe that Lambda(M)=D(M)(2-D(M)) if M is not handlebody or a thickened torus. We characterize exactly when Lambda(M)=1 and D(M)=1 in terms of the characteristic submanifold of the incompressible core of M.

Review text

The paper deals with compact 3-manifolds \(M\) whose interiors admit complete hyperbolic structures (of infinite volume in general). For such a hyperbolic 3-manifold \(N=H^3/\Gamma\) homeomorphic to the interior of \(M\), \(\lambda_0(N)\) denotes the bottom of the \(L^2\) spectrum of the Laplacian, and \(d(N)\) is the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of Kleinian group \(\Gamma\subset \text{Isom} (H^3)\). Varying \(N\) over the Teichmüller space, one may define two geometric invariants \(\Lambda(M)\) as the supremum of \(\lambda_0(N)\), and \(D(M)\) as the infimum of \(d(N)\). The authors observe that \(\Lambda(M)=D(M)(2-D(M))\) if \(M\) is not a handlebody or a thickened torus. Also they characterize (in terms of the characteristic submanifolds of the incompressible core of \(M\)) those manifolds \(M\) for which \(\Lambda(M)=1\) or \(D(M)=1\).
