Tubes in complex hyperbolic manifolds

From MaRDI portal





A complex hyperbolic 2-manifold \(M\) is the quotient of the complex hyperbolic plane, \(H^2_{\mathbb{C}}\), by a torsion-free discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\) of \(\mathrm{PU}(2,1)\). If \(\Gamma\) stabilizes a complex line \(L\) in \(H^2_{\mathbb{C}}\), then \(\Gamma\) is called \(\mathbb{C}\)-Fuchsian, and the quotient \(L/\Gamma\) is called a complex geodesic. A complex geodesic is a totally geodesic submanifold of \(M\) of constant curvature \(-1\).\N\NThe authors prove a tubular neighborhood theorem for embedded complex geodesics in complex hyperbolic \(2\)-manifolds \(M\). They show that there is an explicit estimate for the width of the tube depending only on the Euler characteristic of the embedded complex geodesic.\N\NFinally, they provide two applications of the tubular neighborhood theorem. The first is a lower volume bound for such manifolds. The second is an upper bound on the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian in terms of the geometry of the manifold.
