Abstract

By work of W Thurston, knots and links in the 3–sphere are known to either be torus links; or to contain an essential sphere or torus in their complement; or to be hyperbolic, in which case a unique hyperbolic volume can be calculated for their complement. We employ a construction of Turaev to associate a family of hyperbolic 3–manifolds of finite volume to any classical or virtual link, even if nonhyperbolic. These are in turn used to define the Turaev volume of a link, which is the minimal volume among all the hyperbolic 3–manifolds associated via this Turaev construction. In the case of a classical link, we can also define the classical Turaev volume, which is the minimal volume among all the hyperbolic 3–manifolds associated via this Turaev construction for the classical projections only. We then investigate these new invariants.
