Systoles of hyperbolic hybrids
Sami Douba
Abstract
We exhibit closed hyperbolic manifolds with arbitrarily small systole in each dimension that are not quasi-arithmetic in the sense of Vinberg, and are thus not commensurable to those constructed by Agol, Belolipetsky--Thomson, and Bergeron--Haglund--Wise. This is done by taking hybrids of the manifolds constructed by the latter authors.
