Abstract

A fundamental way to study 3-manifolds is through the geometric lens, one of the most prominent geometries being the hyperbolic one. We focus on the computation of a complete hyperbolic structure on a connected orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold with torus boundaries. This family of 3-manifolds includes the knot complements. 
This computation of a hyperbolic structure requires the resolution of gluing equations on a triangulation of the space, but not all triangulations admit a solution to the equations.
In this paper, we propose a new method to find a triangulation that admits a solution to the gluing equations, using convex optimization and localized combinatorial modifications. It is based on Casson and Rivin’s reformulation of the equations. We provide a novel approach to modify a triangulation and update its geometry, along with experimental results to support the new method.
