Abstract

For any pair of orientable closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds, this paper shows that any isomorphism between the profinite completions of their fundamental groups witnesses a bijective correspondence between the Zariski dense $\text {PSL}(2,{\mathbb {Q}}^{{\textrm{ac}}})$-representations of their fundamental groups, up to conjugacy; moreover, corresponding pairs of representations have identical invariant trace fields and isomorphic invariant quaternion algebras. (Here, ${\mathbb {Q}}^{{\textrm{ac}}}$ denotes an algebraic closure of ${\mathbb {Q}}$.) Next, assuming the p-adic Borel regulator injectivity conjecture for number fields, this paper shows that uniform lattices in $\text {PSL}(2,{\mathbb {C}})$ with isomorphic profinite completions have identical invariant trace fields, isomorphic invariant quaternion algebras, identical covolume, and identical arithmeticity.
