Abstract:
For each natural number $n \geq 4$, we determine the unique lowest volume hyperbolic $3$–orbifold whose torsion orders are bounded below by $n$. This lowest volume orbifold has base space the $3$–sphere and singular locus the figure–$8$ knot, marked $n$. We apply this result to give sharp lower bounds on the volume of a hyperbolic manifold in terms of the order of elements in its symmetry group.References
