AbstractLet M be a compact, connected, orientable 3-manifold whose boundary is a torus and whose interior admits a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. In this paper we show that if theminimal Culler-Shalen norm of a non-zero class in H1(∂M) is larger than 8, then the finite surgery conjecture holds for M. This means that there are at most 5 Dehn fillings of M which can yieldmanifolds having cyclic or finite fundamental groups and the distance between any slopes yielding such manifolds is at most 3.

In this note, we will show that the fundamental group of any negatively δ-pinched [Formula: see text] manifold cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. As a consequence of our proof, we also show that any nonuniform lattice in F4(-20) cannot be the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold. The corresponding result for uniform lattices was proved by Carlson and Hernández [3]. Finally, we follow Gromov and Thurston [6] to give some examples of negatively δ-pinched manifolds [Formula: see text] of finite volume which, as topological manifolds, admit no hyperbolic metric with finite volume under any smooth structure. This shows that our result for δ-pinched manifolds is a nontrivial generalization of the fact that no nonuniform lattice in SO(n,1)(n≥3) is the fundamental group of a quasi-compact Kähler manifold [21].

We introduce a family of cyclic presentations of groups depending on a finite set of integers. This family contains many classes of cyclic presentations of groups, previously considered by several authors. We prove that, under certain conditions on the parameters, the groups defined by our presentations cannot be fundamental groups of closed connected hyperbolic 3–dimensional orbifolds (in particular, manifolds) of finite volume. We also study the split extensions and the natural HNN extensions of these groups, and determine conditions on the parameters for which they are groups of 3–orbifolds and high–dimensional knots, respectively.

AbstractLet M be an oriented complete hyperbolic n-manifold of finite volume. Using the definition of volume of a representation previously given by the authors in [3] we show that the volume of a representation $$\rho :\pi _1(M)\rightarrow \mathrm {Isom}^+({{\mathbb {H}}}^n)$$ ρ : π 1 ( M ) → Isom + ( H n ) , properly normalized, takes integer values if n is even and $$\ge 4$$ ≥ 4 . If M is not compact and 3-dimensional, it is known that the volume is not locally constant. In this case we give explicit examples of representations with volume as arbitrary as the volume of hyperbolic manifolds obtained from M via Dehn fillings.

The purpose of this article is to utilize some exiting words in the fundamental group of a Riemann surface to acquire new words that are represented by filling closed geodesics.
