Abstract

Recall that the rank of a finitely generated group is the minimal number of elements needed to generate it. In [Comm. Anal. Geom. 10 (2002) 377-395], M White proved that the injectivity radius of a closed hyperbolic $3$ –manifold $M$ is bounded above by some function of $rank (π_{1} (M))$ . Building on a technique that he introduced, we determine the ranks of the fundamental groups of a large class of hyperbolic $3$ –manifolds fibering over the circle.
