Abstract:
The purpose of this note is to present a criterion for an infinite collection of distinct hyperbolic 3-manifolds to be commensurably infinite. (Here, a collection of hyperbolic 3-manifolds is commensurably infinite if it contains representatives from infinitely many commensurability classes.) Namely, such a collection is commensurably infinite if there is a uniform upper bound on the volumes of the manifolds in . There is a related criterion for an infinite collection of distinct finitely generated Kleinian groups with non-empty domain of discontinuity to be commensurably infinite. (Here, a collection of Kleinian groups is commensurably infinite if it is infinite modulo the combined equivalence relations of commensurability and conjugacy in .) Namely, such a collection is commensurably infinite if there is a uniform bound on the areas of the quotient surfaces of the groups in .
