Volumes of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$–representations of hyperbolic $3$–manifolds

Wolfgang Pitsch and Joan Porti

Geometry & Topology 22 (2018) 4067–4112
Abstract

Let M be a compact oriented three-manifold whose interior is hyperbolic of finite volume. We prove a variation formula for the volume on the variety of representations of π1(M) in SLn(). Our proof follows the strategy of Reznikov’s rigidity when M is closed; in particular, we use Fuks’s approach to variations by means of Lie algebra cohomology. When n = 2, we get Hodgson’s formula for variation of volume on the space of hyperbolic Dehn fillings. Our formula also recovers the variation of volume on the space of decorated triangulations obtained by Bergeron, Falbel and Guilloux and Dimofte, Gabella and Goncharov.
