In this work we explicitly build original examples of cusped hyperbolic manifolds gluing Coxeter polytopes. In detail, we realize every closed flat 3-manifold as a cusp section of a complete, finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold whose symmetry group acts transitively on the set of cusps. Moreover, we show that for every such 3-manifold, a dense subset of its flat metrics can be realized as cusp sections of a cusp-transitive 4-manifold. Furthermore, we prove that there are a lot of 4-manifolds with pairwise isometric cusps, for any given cusp type. Finally, we build a non-compact, orientable, hyperbolic 4-manifold of finite volume that does not admit any spin structure.

Abstract

In this work we explicitly build original examples of cusped hyperbolic manifolds gluing Coxeter polytopes. In detail, we realize every closed flat 3-manifold as a cusp section of a complete, finite-volume hyperbolic 4-manifold whose symmetry group acts transitively on the set of cusps. Moreover, we show that for every such 3-manifold, a dense subset of its flat metrics can be realized as cusp sections of a cusp-transitive 4-manifold. Furthermore, we prove that there are a lot of 4-manifolds with pairwise isometric cusps, for any given cusp type. Finally, we build a non-compact, orientable, hyperbolic 4-manifold of finite volume that does not admit any spin structure.
