Bounds on Pachner moves and systoles of cusped $3$–manifolds

Tejas Kalelkar and Sriram Raghunath

Abstract

Any two geometric ideal triangulations of a cusped complete hyperbolic 3–manifold M are related by a sequence of Pachner moves through topological triangulations. We give a bound on the length of this sequence in terms of the total number of tetrahedra and a lower bound on dihedral angles. This leads to a naive but effective algorithm to check if two hyperbolic knots are equivalent, given geometric ideal triangulations of their complements. Given a geometric ideal triangulation of M, we also give a lower bound on the systole length of M in terms of the number of tetrahedra and a lower bound on dihedral angles.
