Abstract

We show that asymptotically the first Betti number $b_{1}$ of a Shimura curve satisfies the Gauss–Bonnet equality $2 π (b_{1} - 2) = vol$ where $vol$ is hyperbolic volume; equivalently $2 g - 2 = (1 + o (1)) vol$ where $g$ is the arithmetic genus. We also show that the first Betti number of a congruence hyperbolic 3-orbifold asymptotically vanishes relatively to hyperbolic volume, that is $b_{1} ∕ vol \to 0$ . This generalizes previous results obtained by Frączyk, on which we rely, and uses the same main tool, namely Benjamini–Schramm convergence.
