Volume and homology of one-cusped hyperbolic $3$–manifolds

Marc Culler and Peter B Shalen

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 8 (2008) 343–379
Abstract

Let M be a complete, finite-volume, orientable hyperbolic manifold having exactly one cusp. If we assume that π1(M) has no subgroup isomorphic to a genus–2 surface group and that either (a) dimpH1(M; p) 5 for some prime p, or (b) dim2H1(M; 2) 4, and the subspace of H2(M; 2) spanned by the image of the cup product H1(M; 2) × H1(M; 2) H2(M; 2) has dimension at most 1, then volM > 5.06. If we assume that dim2H1(M; 2) 7 and that the compact core N of M contains a genus–2 closed incompressible surface, then volM > 5.06. Furthermore, if we assume only that dim2H1(M; 2) 7, then volM > 3.66.
