Behrstock–Neumann's cusp covering conjecture

About 16 years old · traced to

Let MM be a hyperbolic nn-manifold, and let CC range over its cusps. For each cusp CC, let π1(C)\pi_1(C) be its cusp fundamental group. A sublattice ΛC′⊆ΛC\Lambda'_C\subseteq\Lambda_C determines a cover of CC.

Cusp covering conjecture. For each cusp CC of MM, there exists a sublattice ΛC\Lambda_C of π1(C)\pi_1(C) such that, for every choice of a sublattice ΛC′⊆ΛC\Lambda'_C\subseteq\Lambda_C for each cusp CC, there is a finite regular cover M′M' of MM whose cusps covering each cusp CC are precisely the covers determined by ΛC′\Lambda'_C.

This conjecture concerns simultaneously prescribing cusp covers in a finite regular cover. The source presents it as a stronger version of the Behrstock–Neumann formulation and relates it to constructing compatible normal subgroups in higher-dimensional graph manifolds; its resolution is not supplied here.
