    • Abstract. Hyperbolic manifolds are Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature equal to -1. In dimensions 2 and 3 they play a fundamental role in the classification of smooth manifolds, as well as in complex analysis. Roughly speaking, most manifolds in these dimensions admit hyperbolic metrics. The moduli spaces of these metrics are some of the most intriguing objects in mathematics, and the current project aims to contribute to their understanding.

    Objectives:
  • Computing the variation of the eta invariant and of the analytic torsion for geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
  • Proving that the renormalized volume of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds is a Kahler potential for the Weil-Petersson symplectic form on Teichmuller space.
  • Studying holomorphic bundles like the Chern-Simons and the determinant bundle over the Teichmuller space.
  • Analyzing the degeneration of these invariants towards the boundary of Teichmuller space.
