Asymptotic volume conjecture for cusped orientable hyperbolic 3-manifolds

For each positive integer nn, let vnv_n be the minimal volume of an nn-cusped orientable hyperbolic 33-manifold. Let V8V_8 denote the volume of the regular ideal octahedron.

Asymptotic volume conjecture.

limnvnn=V8.\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{v_n}{n}=V_8.

This predicts the asymptotic minimal volume per cusp. The source notes the lower bound vn/nV3v_n/n\geq V_3 due to Adams, but gives no proof of the asserted limit.
