Abstract
Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about vv such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to commensurability. Since the number of arithmetic ones tends to be polynomial, almost all hyperbolic manifolds are non-arithmetic in an appropriate sense. Moreover, by restricting attention to non-compact manifolds, our result implies the same growth type for the number of quasi-isometry classes of lattices in SO(n, 1). Our method involves a geometric graph-of-spaces construction that relies on arithmetic properties of certain quadratic forms.
