Volume of hyperbolic 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary

A hyperbolic 3-manifold has finite volume if and only if it is either closed or has toroidal boundary and it is not homeomorphic to $T^2\times I$. This statement is from 3-Manifold Groups, page 18 (th …

Irreducible 3-manifold with boundary of genus greater than 1

M is always aspherical, and hence a Eilenberg-Maclane space. This is because $\pi_1(\partial M)$ embeds to $\pi_1(M)$, by the incompressibility condition. If the genus of the boundary is no less than …

Guts of 3-manifolds for sutured manifolds and pared manifolds

I found the notion "guts of three-manifolds" unclear to me. There exists "sutured guts" and "pared guts" in the literature, the well definedness of both are vague to me. Sutured guts: The following de …
