Link-volume slope finiteness conjecture for one-cusped hyperbolic manifolds

Let XX be a complete finite volume hyperbolic manifold with one cusp. For a slope α\alpha on X\partial X, let X(α)X(\alpha) denote the closed manifold obtained by filling XX along α\alpha.

Link-volume slope finiteness conjecture. For any V>0V>0, there exists a finite set of slopes F\mathcal{F} on X\partial X, so that if \lv[X(α)]<V\lv[X(\alpha)] < V, then α\alpha intersects some slope in F\mathcal{F} at most V/2V/2 times.

This conjecture asserts that Dehn fillings of a fixed one-cusped hyperbolic manifold with bounded link volume must lie within a controlled intersection distance of a finite collection of slopes. It is presented as a precise formulation of the expectation that link volume grows much faster than hyperbolic volume; no resolution is supplied here.
