Minimum volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Peter Milley

Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC 3010, Australia, P.Milley@ms.unimelb.edu.au

We enumerate the small-volume manifolds that can be obtained by Dehn filling on Mom-2 and Mom-3 manifolds as defined by Gabai, Meyerhoff, and the author. In so doing we complete the proof that the Weeks manifold is the compact hyperbolic 3-manifold of minimum volume, as well as enumerating the ten smallest one-cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
