Minimum-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Abstract
Description
We enumerate the small-volume manifolds that can be obtained by Dehn filling on Mom-2 and Mom-3 manifolds as defined by Gabai, Meyerhoff, and the author. In so doing we complete the proof that the Weeks manifold is the minimum-volume compact hyperbolic 3-manifold, as well as enumerating the 10 smallest one-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
