Cannon–thurston Maps for Kleinian Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
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 that point pre-images under Cannon–Thurston maps for degenerate free groups without parabolics correspond to endpoints of leaves of an ending lamination in the Masur domain, whenever a point has more than one pre-image. This proves a conjecture of Otal. We also prove a similar result for point pre-images under Cannon–Thurston maps for arbitrary finitely generated Kleinian groups without parabolics. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 57M50, 20F67 (primary); 20F65, 22E40 (secondary) To Bill Thurston for lasting inspiration.

Cannon-Thurston Maps and Kleinian Groups: Amalgamation Geometry and the 5-holed Sphere
We introduce the notion of amalgamation geometry manifolds. We show that the limit set of any surface group of amalgamated geometry is locally connected, thus giving a partial answer to a question (conjecture) raised by Cannon and Thurston, special cases of which have been obtained by Cannon and Thurston, Minsky, Klarreich and the author. The notion of amalgamated geometry includes, in a sense,...
متن کاملCannon-Thurston Maps for Surface Groups II: Split Geometry and the Minsky Model
In earlier work, we had shown that the limit set of any surface group of split geometry is locally connected, by constructing a natural Cannon-Thurston map. We had also generalised this result to 3-manifolds whose cores have boundary that is incompressible away from cusps. Here, we show that all surface groups enjoy split geometry by using Minsky’s model for such groups. In combination with our...
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, 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. This gives a unification, an alternate proof and a generalisation of all known examples of the existence of Cannon-Thursto...
متن کاملEnding Laminations and Cannon-Thurston Maps
In earlier work, we had shown that Cannon-Thurston maps exist for Kleinian surface groups. In this paper we prove that pre-images of points are precisely end-points of leaves of the ending lamination whenever the Cannon-Thurston map is not one-to-one. In particular, the Cannon-Thurston map is finite-to-one. This completes the proof of the conjectural picture of Cannon-Thurston maps. In conjunct...
