Algebraic limits of geometrically finite manifolds are tame

چکیده
In his 1986 article [Th2], W. Thurston proposed that one might approachMarden’s conjecture from a dynamical point of view via a study of limits in the natural deformation space: its interior consists of geometrically finite manifolds, and promoting their tameness to algebraic limits on the boundary has proven to be a successful strategy to address Marden’s conjecture in special cases. In this paper we complete this part of his approach.

Tameness of Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
Marden conjectured that a hyperbolic 3-manifold M with finitely generated fundamental group is tame, i.e. it is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary [42]. Since then, many consequences of this conjecture have been developed by Kleinian group theorists and 3-manifold topologists. We prove this conjecture in theorem 10.2, actually in slightly more generality for PNC ma...
متن کاملTameness on the boundary and Ahlfors’ measure conjecture
Let N be a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold that is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We show N is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact 3-manifold, or tame, if one of the following conditions holds: 1. N has non-empty conformal boundary, 2. N is not homotopy equivalent to a compression body, or 3. N is a strong limit of geometrically finite manifolds. The fir...
متن کاملRealising end invariants by limits of minimally parabolic, geometrically finite groups
We shall show that for a given homeomorphism type and a set of end invariants (including the parabolic locus) with necessary topological conditions which a topologically tame Kleinian group with that homeomorphism type must satisfy, there is a limit of minimally parabolic, geometrically finite Kleinian groups having exactly that homeomorphism type and end invariants. This shows that the Bers-Th...
متن کاملNonvanishing of Algebraic Entropy for Geometrically Finite Groups of Isometries of Hadamard Manifolds
We prove that any nonelementary geometrically finite group of isometries of a pinched Hadamard manifold has nonzero algebraic entropy in the sense of M. Gromov. In other words it has uniform exponential growth.
متن کاملOn the density of geometrically finite Kleinian groups
The density conjecture of Bers, Sullivan and Thurston predicts that each complete hyperbolic 3-manifold M with finitely generated fundamental group is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We prove that the conjecture obtains for each complete hyperbolic 3manifold with no cusps and incompressible ends.
