Abstract: In this article, we extend Anderson's higher-dimensional Dehn filling construction to a large class of infinite-volume hyperbolic manifolds. This gives an infinite family of topologically distinct asymptotically hyperbolic Einstein manifolds with the same conformal infinity. The construction involves finding a sequence of approximate solutions to the Einstein equations and then perturbing them to exact ones.

Review text

In the paper under review the author describes a construction to generate infinitely many non-homotopic asymptoticaly hyperbolic Einstein (AHE) metrics with shared conformal infinity. These are obtained by ``capping off or filling in the cusps of certain complete hyperbolic manifolds. This construction is based on Anderson's Dehn filling result for finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds in [Arxiv.org/math.DG/03032600]. The main result of this paper applies Anderson's cusps closing construction to generate a host of AHE metrics with the same conformal infinity: If \(( N^n, g), (n>2)\), is a complete geometrically finite hyperbolic manifold, all of whose cusps have toric cross sections, then, it is possible to close the cusps to obtain infinitely many metrically distinct AHE manifolds, all of which have the same conformal infinity as the original one. If the hyperbolic manifold \(N^n\) is nonelementary , then this procedure gives infinitely many homotopy types. If \(n>3 \), these AHE metrics are nonhyperbolic.
