Kleinian groups and the complex of curves
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the internal geometry of a Kleinian surface group and its relations to the asymptotic geometry of its ends, using the combinatorial structure of the complex of curves on the surface. Our main results give necessary conditions for the Kleinian group to have ‘bounded geometry’ (lower bounds on injectivity radius) in terms of a sequence of coefficients (subsurface projections) computed using the ending invariants of the group and the complex of curves. These results are directly analogous to those obtained in the case of puncturedtorus surface groups. In that setting the ending invariants are points in the closed unit disk and the coefficients are closely related to classical continuedfraction coefficients. The estimates obtained play an essential role in the solution of Thurston’s ending lamination conjecture in that case. AMS Classification numbers Primary: 30F40

A new indexed approach to render the attractors of Kleinian groups
One widespread procedure to render the attractor of Kleinian groups, appearing in the renown book [8], wantshuge memory resources to compute and store the results. We present a new faster and lighter version that drops the original array and pulls out group elements from integers.
متن کاملKleinian Groups and Holomorphic Dynamics
In this work we explore some relations between iteration theory and theory of Kleinian groups. There is already work done in that direction. In the case of Fuchsian groups there is the result of Bowen and Series [1979] which guarantees the existence of a boundary map, orbit equivalent to the action of the Fuchsian group on the hyperbolic plane. We use this result in Sec. 3. Brooks and Matelski ...
متن کاملGeometric Finiteness and Uniqueness for Kleinian Groups with Circle Packing Limit Sets
J. Reine Angew. Math 436 (1993), pp. 209– 219. Stony Brook IMS Preprint #1991/23 December 1991 Let G ⊂ PSL(2,C) be a geometrically finite Kleinian group, with region of discontinuity Ω(G). By Ahlfors’ finiteness theorem, the quotient, Ω(G)/G, is a finite union of Riemann surfaces of finite type. Thus on it, there are only finitely many mutually disjoint free homotopy classes of simple closed cu...
متن کاملGeometry of the Complex of Curves Ii: Hierarchical Structure
In this paper we continue our geometric study of Harvey’s Complex of Curves [12], a finite dimensional and locally infinite complex C(S) associated to a surface S, which admits an action by the mapping class group Mod(S). The geometry and combinatorics of C(S) can be applied to study grouptheoretic properties of Mod(S), and the geometry of Kleinian representations of π1(S). In [19] we showed th...
متن کاملGroup Algebras of Kleinian Type and Groups of Units
The algebras of Kleinian type are finite dimensional semisimple rational algebras A such that the group of units of an order in A is commensurable with a direct product of Kleinian groups. We classify the Schur algebras of Kleinian type and the group algebras of Kleinian type. As an application, we characterize the group rings RG, with R an order in a number field and G a finite group, such tha...
