Double bubbles in S^3 and H^3

Abstract: We prove the double bubble conjecture in the three-sphere

S^{3}

and hyperbolic three-space

H^{3}

in the cases where we can apply Hutchings theory: 1) in

S^{3}

, each enclosed volume and the complement occupy at least 10% of the volume of

S^{3}

; 2) in

H^{3}

, the smaller volume is at least 85% that of the larger. A balancing argument and asymptotic analysis reduce the problem in

S^{3}

and

H^{3}

to some computer checking. The computer analysis has been designed and fully implemented for both spaces.
