%0 Journal Article %T Construction of Einstein metrics by generalized Dehn filling %A Richard H. Bamler %J Mathematics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X In this paper, we present a new approach to the construction of Einstein metrics by a generalization of Thurston's Dehn filling. In particular in dimension 3, we will obtain an analytic proof of Thurston's result. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0911.4730v2
