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

Abstract: In this paper we define a new invariant of the incomplete hyperbolic structures on a 1-cusped finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M, called the ortholength invariant. We show that away from a (possibly empty) subvariety of excluded values this invariant both locally parameterises equivalence classes of hyperbolic structures and is a complete invariant of the Dehn fillings of M which admit a hyperbolic structure. We also give an explicit formula for the ortholength invariant in terms of the traces of the holonomies of certain loops in M. Conjecturally this new invariant is intimately related to the boundary of the hyperbolic Dehn surgery space of M.

Review text

The author defines an invariant of the incomplete hyperbolic structures on a 1-cusped finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold \(M\), called the ortholength invariant. This invariant \(Orth_K\) is defined in terms of a topological ideal triangulation \(K\) of \(M\), but it is actually independent of \(K\) in the sense that for ``generic \(K\), \(Orth_K\) determines the ortholength invariant corresponding to any other ideal triangulation. The main result of the paper says that away from a (possibly empty) subvariety of values, the ortholength invariant both locally parametrizes equivalence classes of hyperbolic structures and is a complete invariant of the Dehn fillings of \(M\) which admit a hyperbolic structure. The explicit formula for the ortholength invariant in terms of traces of the holonomies of certain loops in \(M\) is given. For a hyperbolic structure whose metric completion is a cone-manifold, the ortholength invariant is essentially a list of hyperbolic cosines of the complex distances from the cone-manifold's singular set to itself along the edges of \(K\). As an example, the ortholength invariant for the figure-eight knot complement is described.
