Let M be a geometrically finite pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with at least one cusp.

In the course of our work on low-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds, we came upon a linking problem for horoball necklaces in H3\mathbb{H}^3. A horoball necklace is a collection of sequentially tangent beards (i.e. spheres) with disjoint interiors lying on a flat table (i.e. a plane) such that each bead is of diameter at mo…

Given a discrete subgroup of the isometries of n-dimensional hyperbolic space there is always a region kept precisely invariant under the stabilizer of a parabolic fixed point, called the Margulis region. While in dimensions 2 and 3 this region is a horoball, it has in general a more complicated shape due to the existe…
