Mostow rigidity for hyperbolic metrics #
This file records the metric-level statement of Mostow rigidity for closed hyperbolic manifolds. The resulting relation supports comparing the total volumes carried by different hyperbolic metrics.
The formulation follows Ratcliffe, Foundations of Hyperbolic Manifolds, 3rd ed., Theorem 11.8.5.
The metric-level conclusion of Mostow rigidity for one fixed manifold and dimension.
The predicate asserts that every pair of bundled hyperbolic metrics on a closed, connected, boundaryless manifold of real dimension at least three is related by a bundled isometry.
Instances For
A fixed-manifold Mostow-rigidity predicate is equivalent to its characteristic statement.
