Actualizing subgroups of 3-manifold groups in homologically small submanifolds
Rosemary K. Guzman, Peter B. Shalen
Let be a simple -manifold, and let be a finitely generated, freely indecomposable subgroup of . Set . Suppose that either (a) $\partial…
The ratio of homology rank to hyperbolic volume, II
Rosemary K. Guzman, Peter B. Shalen
Under mild topological restrictions, we obtain new linear upper bounds for the dimension of the mod homology (for any prime ) of a finite-volume orientable hyperbolic ma…
The ratio of homology rank to hyperbolic volume, I
Rosemary K. Guzman, Peter B. Shalen
We show that for every finite-volume hyperbolic -manifold and every prime we have . There are slightly strong…
Hyperbolic volume, mod 2 homology, and k-freeness
Rosemary K. Guzman, Peter B. Shalen
We show that if is any closed, orientable hyperbolic -manifold with , we have . This may be regarded as a qualitative i…
The geometry of -free hyperbolic -manifolds
Rosemary K. Guzman, Peter B. Shalen
We investigate the geometry of closed, orientable, hyperbolic -manifolds whose fundamental groups are -free for a given integer . We show that any such manifold c…
Hyperbolic 3-manifolds with k-free fundamental group
Rosemary K. Guzman
The results of Culler and Shalen for 2,3 or 4-free hyperbolic 3-manifolds are contingent on properties specific to and special about rank two subgroups of a free group. Here we det…
