invariant 2-form in hyperbolic 3-space

In upper half space, the thing that's analogous to the invariant 2-form (which measures hyperbolic area) is the hyperbolic volume form $1/z^3 dx dy dz$. If you want to understand 2-forms invariant by …

Is there an explicit bound on the number of tetrahedra needed to triangulate a hyperbolic 3-...

A couple of things are true: 1. If you have any Riemannian manifold of bounded infinitesimal geometry (curvature pinched above and below), its thick part, where the injectivity radius $> \epsilon$, c …

Fundamental group of a thick part of hyperbolic manifold

Yes, because $\pi_1$ of the boundary of a component of the $\epsilon$-thin part always surjects to the fundamental group of that thin part, except in one special 2-dimensional case: if there is a shor …
