Abstract: It is well known that an arbitrary closed orientable $3$-manifold can be realized as the unique boundary of a compact orientable $4$-manifold, that is, any closed orientable $3$-manifold is cobordant to zero. In this paper, we consider the geometric cobordism problem: a hyperbolic $3$-manifold is geometrically bounding if it is the only boundary of a totally geodesic hyperbolic 4-manifold. However, there are very rare geometrically bounding closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds according to the previous research [11,13]. Let $vapprox4.3062ldots$ be the volume of the regular right-angled hyperbolic dodecahedron in $mathbb{H}^3$, for each $ninmathbb{Z}_{+}$ and each odd integer $k$ in $[1,5n+3]$, we construct a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ with $$ and $vol(M)=16nv$ that bounds a totally geodesic hyperbolic 4-manifold. The proof uses small cover theory over a sequence of linearly-glued dodecahedra and some results of Kolpakov-Martelli-Tschantz [9].
