Heegaard genera in congruence towers of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

BoGwang Jeon

Vol. 258 (2012), No. 1, 143–164
Abstract

Given a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold M, we construct a tower of covers with increasing Heegaard genus and give an explicit lower bound on the Heegaard genus of such covers as a function of their degree. Using similar methods, we prove that for any 𝜖 > 0 there exist infinitely many congruence covers {Mi} such that, for any x M, Mi contains an embedded ball Bx (with center x) satisfying vol Bx > (vol Mi)14𝜖. We get similar results for an arithmetic noncompact case.
