%0 Journal Article %T Algorithmic detection and description of hyperbolic structures on closed 3-manifolds with solvable word problem %A Jason Manning %J Mathematics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.2140/gt.2002.6.1 %X We outline a rigorous algorithm, first suggested by Casson, for determining whether a closed orientable 3-manifold M is hyperbolic, and to compute the hyperbolic structure, if one exists. The algorithm requires that a procedure has been given to solve the word problem in \pi_1(M). %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0102154v2
