They asked whether the area normalized meridian length squared of maximal tubular neighborhoods of the singular locus of the cone-manifold is decreasing and that summed with the cone angle squared is increasing as we deform the cone-angles. We confirm this near 0 cone-angles for an infinite family of hyperbolic cone-manifolds obtained by Dehn surgeries along the Whitehead link complements. The basic method is based on explicit holonomy computations using the A-polynomials and finding the maximal tubes. One of the key tool is the Taylor expression of a geometric component of the zero set of the A-polynomial in terms of the cone-angles. We also show a sequence of Taylor expressions for Dehn surgered manifolds converges to one for the limit hyperbolic manifold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-05-14T06:29:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic cone-manifolds", "maximal tubes", "deformations", "taylor expression", "maximal tubular neighborhoods" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......5269C" } } }
