What is the complex structure on the boundary torus of a hyperbolic knot complement?
Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in $\mathbb S^3$. Restrict the corresponding representation $\pi_1(\mathbb S^3\setminus K)\to\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb C)$ to the fundamental group of the boundary (...

What is the explicit relationship between the shape parameters and the holonomy of a hyperbolic ideal triangulation?
Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot in $S^3$. One way to describe the hyperbolic structure is to give a discrete, faithful representation $\pi_1(S^3 \setminus K) \to \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb C)$, the ...

hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume
Is there a complete description of hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume ?
Or similarly a classification of finitely generated torsion free subgroups of $PSL(2,\mathbf{C})$ with finite covolume?
