Abstract
We prove the double bubble conjecture in the three-sphereS 3 and hyperbolic three-spaceH 3 in the cases where we can apply Hutchings theory: • InS 3, when each enclosed volume and the complement occupy at least 10% of the volume ofS 3. • inH 3, when the smaller volume is at least 85% that of the larger. A balancing argument and asymptotic analysis reduce the problem inS 3 andH 3 to some computer checking. The computer analysis has been designed and fully implemented for both spaces.
