Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00024.] This paper gives a detailed study of the Borromean orbifolds \(\widehat{B}(m,n,p)\), \(3\leq m,n,p \leq \infty\) and their arithmeticity. Here, \(\widehat{B}(m,n,p)\) is the orbifold with underlying space \(S^ 3\) and with singular set the Borromean rings, where the cone angles at the three components are \(2\pi/m\), \(2\pi/n\), and \(2\pi/p\), respectively. This work is motivated by the fact that the orbifold \(\widehat{B}(4,4,4)\) is an arithmetic hyperbolic orbifold and is universal, i.e., every closed orientable 3-manifold occurs as a finite cover of the orbifold \(\widehat{B}(4,4,4)\). In the first half of this paper, the authors give a unified explanation of the basic definitions of arithmetic groups and known results concerning characterization of arithmetic groups. In the latter half of this paper, the authors give a beautiful and explicit construction of the hyperbolic structures of the Borromean orbifolds in the Klein model of hyperbolic space, and they completely determine when the orbifold \(\widehat{B}(m,n,p)\) is arithmetic. In the final section, they perform detailed calculation concerning the universal arithmetic orbifolds \(\widehat{B}(4,4,4)\) having its potential application to the study of 3-manifolds in mind.
