Cleanliness of geodesics in hyperbolic 3-manifolds

C. Adams, A. Colestock, J. Fowler, W. Gillam and E. Katerman

Vol. 213 (2004), No. 2, 201–212
Abstract

In this paper, we investigate geodesics in cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We derive conditions guaranteeing the existence of geodesics avoiding the cusps and use these geodesics to show that in “almost all” finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, infinitely many horoballs in the universal cover corresponding to a cusp are visible in a fundamental domain of the cusp when viewed from infinity.
