On the virtual Betti numbers of arithmetic hyperbolic 3–manifolds

Daryl Cooper, Darren Long and Alan W Reid

Geometry & Topology 11 (2007) 2265–2276

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2007.11.2265

Abstract

We show that closed arithmetic hyperbolic 3–manifolds with virtually positive first Betti number have infinite virtual first Betti number. As a consequence, such manifolds have large fundamental group.

Keywords

virtual Betti number, large fundamental group
