Description
Colin Adams and Alan Reid showed that the length of the shortest closed geodesic in a hyperbolic knot or link complemement in S^3 is bounced above by 7.171646... We will show that the length of an n^th shortest closed geodesic in a hyperbolic knot or link complement in S^3 is at-most a logarithmic function of n.
