<p>Kahn-Markovic show that every hyperbolic 3-fold contains an immersed $\pi_1$ injective surface. Are there any known examples of hyperbolic 3-folds that do not contain a embedded $\pi_1$ injective surface? </p>

<p>Let $A_t$ be family of second order, positive, elliptic differential operator mapping Sobolev $H^2$ of a compact smooth manifold (or bounded domain) to L^2. Suppose that the coefficients of $A_t$ converge uniformly in $C^k$ for every $k$ to the coefficients of a second order, positive, elliptic differential operator $A$. $A$ is invertible (with domain L^2 and range H^2) and so we may consider the sequence $A_t \circ A_0^{-1}$ of operators from $L^2$ to $L^2$. Does this family converge to the identity in the $L^2$ operator norm? Why or why not?</p>

<p>Is the congruence group $\Gamma(2)$ generated by the upper triangular matrix $(1, 2; 0, 1)$ and the lower triangular matrix $(1, 0; 2, 1)$ or does on need to also throw in the negation of the identity? To be specific, how do I check that the negation of the identity is not a word in the above matrices? </p>

But these notes appear to consider smooth case, no?

Thanks Ian. This is very helpful.

I guess ellipticity has nothing to with it. \[ \int |(A-B) u|^2 \leq C \sum_{\alpha} \int |\partial^{\alpha} u|^2\] where \[ C= \sup |a_{\alpha}- b_{\alpha}|^2\] where $\alpha$ is a multi-index and the $a$'s and $b$'s are the coefficients.

Is ellipticity necessary? (Part of the `why' part of question...)

Quite beautiful! Thank you for adding this.

Wadim, exercise 6 does not answer the question.
