Title:
The many aspects of hyperbolic volume


Abstract:
First I shall briefly present the basic notions of hyperbolic space and 
volume in n dimensions. Then I shall explain why the study of 
non-euclidean and especially hyperbolic polyhedral volume is an 
important but difficult topic.Several aspects, results and open 
questions of analytical, topological and arithmetic nature are presented.
