Dehn surgery, homology and hyperbolic volume

Ian Agol, Marc Culler and Peter B Shalen

Abstract

If a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3–manifold M has volume at most 1.22 then H1(M; p) has dimension at most 2 for every prime p2,7, and H1(M; 2) and H1(M; 7) have dimension at most 3. The proof combines several deep results about hyperbolic 3–manifolds. The strategy is to compare the volume of a tube about a shortest closed geodesic C M with the volumes of tubes about short closed geodesics in a sequence of hyperbolic manifolds obtained from M by Dehn surgeries on C.
