Genericity of hyperbolic 3-manifolds via Dehn surgery

Abstract

A significant result by Lickorish and Wallace shows that every closed, orientable 3-manifold can be obtained from a Dehn surgery on one link in 3-sphere. As links and Dehn surgeries vary vastly in the universe, a question arises: how can we describe their properties in vague? We introduce a counting model on links and Dehn surgeries, and prove that under this model, (1) a randon link is hyperbolic; (2) a random 3-manifold is hyperbolic.
