Rank gradient in co-final towers of certain Kleinian groups

This dissertation provides the first known examples of finite co-volume Kleinian groups which have co- final towers of finite index subgroups with positive rank gradient. We prove that if the fundamental group of an orientable finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold has fi nite index in the reflectio...
