Preserving non-conjugacy of loxodromic isometries in a Dehn filling

Suppose that $g$ and $h$ are non-conjugate loxodromic isometries in a cusped hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ of finite volume. Fix a cusp $T$ of $M$. Can I choose a hyperbolic Dehn filling of $M$ along $...

Problem 3.14 from Kirby's list

In his famous list of Problems in Low-Dimensional Topology, Kirby states the following as Problem 3.14 (B), which is attributed to Thurston: Conjecture: Suppose $G$ (an arbitrary group I suppose) ...

The figure eight knot complement in $S^3$

Recently I have been going through the book Hyperbolic Knot Theory by Jessica Purcell. Exercise 5.4 (on page 101) gives us a presentation of the fundamental group of $S^3 - K$ where $K$ is the figure-...

Hyperbolic volume of hyperbolic knots

Let $G$ be a torsionfree kleinian group. Is there necessary an sufficient conditions on $G$ to be a knot group ? It seems that there is some necessary conditions: $H_{1}(BG) = \mathbb{Z}$ $H_{2}(BG) ...

Hyperbolic manifold of dim 3 with finite volume.

The geometrization Theorem for 3-manifolds classifies all oriented compact (without boundary ) 3-manifolds. Is there a theorem which classifies all hyperbolic oriented 3-manifold (without boundary ) ...

A question on Cayley graphs and hyperbolic 3-manifolds

There are two hyperbolic closed 3-manifolds, but I don't know whether they are homeomorphic or not. The only thing I know is that the Cayley graphs of their fundamental groups are quasi-isometric. ...
