The Classification of Kleinian Surface Groups, I: Models and Bounds
نویسنده
چکیده
We give the first part of a proof of Thurston’s Ending Lamination conjecture. In this part we show how to construct from the end invariants of a Kleinian surface group a “Lipschitz model” for the thick part of the corresponding hyperbolic manifold. This enables us to describe the topological structure of the thick part, and to give a-priori geometric bounds.

Kleinian groups and the complex of curves
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 ...
متن کاملDivergent sequences of Kleinian groups
One of the basic problems in studying topological structures of deformation spaces for Kleinian groups is to find a criterion to distinguish convergent sequences from divergent sequences. In this paper, we shall give a sufficient condition for sequences of Kleinian groups isomorphic to surface groups to diverge in the deformation spaces. AMS Classification 57M50; 30F40
متن کاملA 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 کاملCannon-Thurston Maps, i-bounded Geometry and a Theorem of McMullen
— The notion of i-bounded geometry generalises simultaneously bounded geometry and the geometry of punctured torus Kleinian groups. We show that the limit set of a surface Kleinian group of i-bounded geometry is locally connected by constructing a natural Cannon-Thurston map.
متن کاملCannon–thurston Maps for Kleinian Groups
We show that Cannon–Thurston maps exist for degenerate free groups without parabolics, that is, for handlebody groups. Combining these techniques with earlier work proving the existence of Cannon–Thurston maps for surface groups, we show that Cannon–Thurston maps exist for arbitrary finitely generated Kleinian groups without parabolics, proving conjectures of Thurston and McMullen. We also show...
