The closed geodesic complement conjecture
The closed geodesic complement conjecture
Let be a hyperbolic 3-manifold and let and be closed geodesics in . Their complements are the manifolds obtained by removing the geodesics. Closed geodesic complement conjecture. Closed geodesics in a hyperbolic 3-manifold are determined by their complements, even allowing orientation-reversing homeomorphisms. The source gives this as a further conjecture after discussing cosmetic fillings and supplies no resolution.
