Abstract: We investigate the geometry of $p{i}_1$-injective surfaces in closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. First we prove that for any $e>0$, if the manifold $M$ has sufficiently large systole $sy{s}_1(M)$, the genus of any such surface in $M$ is bounded below by $exp((1/2-e)sy{s}_1(M))$. Using this result we show, in particular, that for congruence covers $M_{i}oM$ of a compact arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold we have: (a) the minimal genus of $p{i}_1$-injective surfaces satisfies $logsysg(M_i)gtrsim(1/3)logvol(M_i)$; (b) there exist such sequences with the ratio Heegard genus$(M_i)/sysg(M_i)gtrsimvol(M_i{)}^{1/2}$; and (c) under some additional assumptions $p{i}_1(M_i)$ is k-free with $logkgtrsim(1/3)sy{s}_1(M_i)$. The latter resolves a special case of a conjecture of M. Gromov.

Review text

The main result of this paper is that given a closed hyperbolic 3--manifold \(M\), for every \(\epsilon > 0\), if its 1--systole \(\text{sys}_1(M)\) (= the length of the shortest closed geodesic in \(M\)) is sufficiently large, then the genus of any \(\pi_1\)--injective surface in \(M\) is bounded below by \(\exp(( { 1 \over 2} - \epsilon) \text{sys}_1(M))\). The author applies this result to obtain some asymptotic inequalities for sequences of congruence covers \(M_i \rightarrow M\) when \(M\) is a closed arithmetic hyperbolic 3--manifold. The inequalities relate various invariants of \(M_i\) such as its volume, 1-systole, Heegard genus, systolic genus (= least genus of a \(\pi_1\)--injective surface) and 2-systole (= minimum area of a \(\pi_1\)--injective surface of positive genus). In the final section of the paper, the author address how these results might be generalized to higher dimensions.
