There is a uniform bound for the number of such boundary slopes if the genus of $\\partial M$ or the volume of $M$ is bounded above. When the volume is bounded above, then area of $\\partial M$ is bounded above and the length of closed geodesic on $\\partial M$ is bounded below.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-02-01T02:06:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "boundary slopes", "finiteness", "totally geodesic boundary", "uniform bound", "essential immersed surfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......2002H" } } }
