TNorm

TNorm is a package for computing the Thurston norm unit ball of hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Currently, tnorm must be installed in Sage, and Sage must have Regina and SnapPy installed. To instal TNorm:

$ sage -pip install tnorm

To run the tnorm graphical user interface app:

$ sage -python -m tnorm.app

In a future release, we plan to remove the dependence on Sage.

Support for hyperbolic 3-manifolds that are not multi-component links in rational homology 3-spheres has been added very recently, and has not been thoroughly tested yet. If you get any results that don't make sense, please email me at [e-mail].

TO DO:

• add feature: determine fiberedness of a hyp 3-mfld (and hence knot genus of a knot)
• remove Sage dependence.
• better documentation throughout.
• some optimization for speed is probably still possible.
