| Aug 31, 2010 at 23:51 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | In some sense hyperbolic $3$-manifolds do have names. Their fundamental group functions as a name, since the isomorphism problem is decidable for them. I think in some way the mystery is more the other-way around -- instead of assigning names we want a "phone book". Like: I want a non-repeating list of all hyperbolic 3-manifolds with volume less than 20, how do I generate that list efficently? Similarly, "is $\sqrt{71\sqrt{11}}$ the volume of a hyperbolic 3-manifold?" | |
