Spectral geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

[摘要] This thesis uses techniques from spectral geometry and builds from the work of Schoen, Culler and Shalen, Meyerhoff, and others to obtain various estimates and inequalities involving geometric data of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. These give numerical relationships between quantities like volume, length of geodesics, area of embedded surfaces, isoperimetric constants, eigenvalues of the Laplacian, and Margulis numbers for hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
