The Link Volume of Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
  We prove that for any V>0, there exist a hyperbolic manifold M_V, so that Vol(M_V) < 2.03 and LinVol(M_V) > V.   The proof requires study of cosmetic surgery on links (equivalently, fillings of manifolds with boundary tori). There is no bound on the number of components of the link (or boundary components). For statements, see the second part of the introduction. Here are two examples of the results we obtain:   1) Let K be a component of a link L in S^3. Then "most" slopes on K cannot be completed to a cosmetic surgery on L, unless K becomes a component of a Hopf link.   2) Let X be a manifold and \epsilon>0. Then all but finitely many hyperbolic manifolds obtained by filling X admit a geodesic shorter than \epsilon\ (note that this finite set may correspond to an infinitely many fillings).
