center of fundamental group of finite volume-hyperbolic orbifold

Any lattice in a hyperbolic space acts as a convergence group on the sphere at infinity. Thus it suffices to prove the following: Lemma If $G$ has a minimal convergence group action on a set $S$ of …

Fundamental group of a thick part of hyperbolic manifold

By Margulis lemma, components of the $\varepsilon$-thin part are cusps or $\varepsilon$-tubes, so the interior of the $\varepsilon$-part is $M$ with cusps chopped off, and a finite (possibly empty) co …

F→E→B bundle with B,E,F hyperbolic: possible?

Ryan addressed the (easy) case when the fiber has dimension $>2$. The case when the fiber is $2$-dimensional is a well-known (and I think still open) problem with quite a bit of recent activity by the …

Negative sectional curvature and constant curvature

Sullivan proved that every closed hyperbolic manifold has a stably parallelizable finite cover. This is not true for say complex hyperbolic manifolds (of real dimension $>2$). See Farrell's "Lectures …

Does a compact negatively curved manfiold of dimension 4 admit a cover of finite degree?

This is a well-known open problem. In fact, there are very few tools for studing general negatively curved manifolds. Even in dimension 3 it is unknown (I think) how to prove existence of proper finit …

Lattices of PU(n,1) with large abelianization

Studying Betti numbers of lattices of $SU(p, q)$ is a classical subject and I barely know its history so let me just give some pointers to the literature focusing on $q=1$. Some examples of lattice …

Hyperbolization with word-hyperbolic fundamental group

Charney-Davis in Strict hyperbolization showed how to make $N$ locally CAT($-1$), provided $M$ is PL. Ontaneda in Riemannian hyperbolization showed how to make $N$ a Riemannian manifold of negative se …

Are negatively pinched manifold locally conformally flat?

Regarding vanishing rational Pontryagin classes (which do vanish for conformally flat manifolds): Recent result of Ontaneda gives examples in each dimension $\ge 4$ of closed manifolds with nonzero r …

Weil's theorem about maps from a discrete group to a Lie group.

I think that a) a good place to start is to read pages 60-72 of Misha Kapovich's book "Hyperbolic manifolds and discrete groups". b) the right context for your question 1 is to consider relative re …
