Geometry and rank of fibered hyperbolic $3$–manifolds

Ian Biringer

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 9 (2009) 277–292
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(π1(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.
