Abstract

We construct some hyperbolic hyperelliptic space forms wh\-ose fundamental groups are generated by only two or three isometries. Each occurring group is obtained from a supergroup, which is an extended Coxeter group generated by plane reflections and half-turns. Then we describe covering properties and determine the isometry groups of the constructed manifolds. Furthermore, we give an explicit construction of space form of the second smallest volume nonorientable hyperbolic $3$--manifold with one cusp.

Keywords: hyperbolic 3--manifold, hyperelliptic involution, cyclic branched covering, Heegaard diagram, hyperbolic orbifold, fundamental group, isometry group
