Minimum ideal triangulations of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

TLDR
It is shown that 2n−1 ≤σ(n)≤σor( n)≦4n−4 forn≥5 and that σor(n), the minimum number of ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra,≤2n for alln.
Abstract
Let ?(n) be the minimum number of ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra necessary to construct a finite volumen-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold, orientable or not Let ?or(n) be the corresponding number when we restrict ourselves to orientable manifolds The correct values of ?(n) and ?or(n) and the corresponding manifolds are given forn=1,2,3,4 and 5 We then show that 2n?1≤?(n)≤?or(n)≤4n?4 forn?5 and that ?or(n)?2n for alln

A census of cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds

TL;DR: The census contains descriptions of all hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained by gluing the faces of at most seven ideal tetrahedra and various geometric and topological invariants are calculated for these manifolds.

The cusped hyperbolic census is complete

TL;DR: The SnapPea census as mentioned in this paper has been shown to be homeomorphic to one of the census manifolds, and has been extended to 9 tetrahedra, which is the first time it has been proven to be complete.

Three dimensional manifolds, Kleinian groups and hyperbolic geometry

TL;DR: In the case of negative Euler characteristic (genus greater than 1) such a metric gives a hyperbolic structure: any small neighborhood in a surface is isometric to a neighborhood in the hyper-bolic plane, and the surface itself is the quotient of the hyperbola by a discrete group of motions as discussed by the authors.
