We show that there is an infinite sequence of closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds, obtained by Dehn filling on the figure eight knot complement, that are uniquely determined by their volumes. This gives a sequence of distinct volumes x_i converging to the volume of the figure eight knot complement with N(x_i) = 1 for each i. We also give an infinite sequence of 1-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds, obtained by Dehn filling one cusp of the (-2,3,8)-pretzel link complement, that are uniquely determined by their volumes amongst orientable cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Finally, we describe examples showing that the number of hyperbolic link complements with a given volume v can grow at least exponentially fast with v.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-29T15:06:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50", "57M27", "57N10", "11E16" ], "keywords": [ "infinite sequence", "knot complement", "hyperbolic link complements", "distinct volumes", "dehn filling" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.6551H" } } }
