Abstract:
This paper is the second in a series whose goal is to understand the structure of low-volume complete orientable hyperbolic -manifolds. Using Mom technology, we prove that any one-cusped hyperbolic -manifold with volume can be obtained by a Dehn filling on one of cusped hyperbolic -manifolds. We also show how this result can be used to construct a complete list of all one-cusped hyperbolic -manifolds with volume and all closed hyperbolic -manifolds with volume . In particular, the Weeks manifold is the unique smallest volume closed orientable hyperbolic -manifold.
