Some of these are explained by commensurability, some are explained by more-or-less subtle mutations, and some are just mysterious. Volume coincidences between cusped and closed manifolds are of the latter type. In my limited experience, there is always a fairly short scissors congruence between spun tetrahedra in the closed manifold and ideal tetrahedra in the cusped manifold. (And If I can't find one, I ask Craig Hodgson.) | |
