On the structure of hyperbolic manifolds

Forn≥2, we quantify the Margulis constant ε(n) giving rise to a thick and thin decomposition of hyperbolicn-manifolds of finite volume. As a consequence, we obtain new universal lower bounds for the volume and Gromov's invariant as well as a geometrical inequality between injectivity radius and diameter for compact manifolds. Finally, we concretise the upper bound for the counting function of hyperbolic manifolds of dimension >4 as described by Burger, Gelander, Lubotzky and Mozes.
