abstract
Quasifuchsian hyperbolic manifolds, or more generally convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, have infinite volume, but they have a well-defined ``renormalized'' volume. We outline some relations between this renormalized volume and the volume, or more precisely the ``dual volume'', of the convex core. On one hand, there are striking similarities between them, for instance in their variational formulas. On the other, object related to them tend to be within bounded distance. Those analogies and proximities lead to several questions. Both the renormalized volume and the dual volume can be used for instance to bound the volume of the convex core in terms of the Weil-Petersson distance between the conformal metrics at infinity.

Triangulating quantum gravity in AdS$_3$
The fixed-angle gravitational path integral in AdS3 equals a Conformal Turaev-Viro partition function, the fixed-length path integral equals a Virasoro TQFT amplitude squared, and the semiclassical geometries are built from generalized hyperbolic tetrahedra.
