Abstract:

Tables of values for the hyperbolic volume, number of symmetries, cusp volume and conformal invariants of the cusps are given for hyperbolic knots through ten crossings and hyperbolic links of $2, 3$ and $4$ components through $9$ crossings. The horoball patterns and the canonical triangulations are displayed for knots through eight crossings and for particularly interesting additional examples of knots and links.
