For any oriented cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold M , we study its (R, )-panted cobordism group, which is the abelian group generated by (R, )good curves in M modulo the oriented boundaries of (R, )-good pants. In particular, we prove that for sufficiently small > 0 and sufficiently large R > 0, some modified version of the (R, )-panted cobordism group of M is isomorphic to H 1 (SO(M ); Z).
