Foliations for Quasi-fuchsian 3-manifolds
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we prove that if a quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifold contains a minimal surface whose principle curvature is less than 1, then it admits a foliation such that each leaf is a surface of constant mean curvature. The key method that we use here is volume preserving mean curvature flow.

Geometric Evolution Equations and Foliations on Quasi-fuchsian Three-manifolds
For any quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifold M which contains an incompressible closed surface with principal curvatures in the range of (−1, 1), we use method of geometric evolution equations to prove that it admits a unique foliation of constant mean curvature surfaces on M . Applications include uniqueness of prescribed constant mean curvature surfaces, and an upper bound for the hyperbolic volume of t...
متن کاملThree-manifolds, Foliations and Circles, I Preliminary Version
A manifold M slithers around a manifold N when the universal cover of M fibers over N so that deck transformations are bundle automorphisms. Three-manifolds that slither around S are like a hybrid between three-manifolds that fiber over S and certain kinds of Seifert-fibered three-manifolds. There are examples of non-Haken hyperbolic manifolds that slither around S. It seems conceivable that ev...
متن کاملMinimal surfaces and particles in 3-manifolds
We use minimal (or CMC) surfaces to describe 3-dimensional hyperbolic, anti-de Sitter, de Sitter or Minkowski manifolds. We consider whether these manifolds admit “nice” foliations and explicit metrics, and whether the space of these metrics has a simple description in terms of Teichmüller theory. In the hyperbolic settings both questions have positive answers for a certain subset of the quasi-...
متن کاملQuasi-fuchsian 3-manifolds and Metrics on Teichm¨uller Space
An almost Fuchsian 3-manifold is a quasi-Fuchsian manifold which contains an incompressible closed minimal surface with principal curvatures in the range of (−1, 1). Such a 3-manifold M admits a foliation of parallel surfaces, whose locus in Teichmüller space is represented as a path γ, we show that γ joins the conformal structures of the two components of the conformal boundary of M . Moreover...
متن کاملNoncompact Fuchsian and quasi-Fuchsian surfacesin hyperbolic 3--manifolds
Given a noncompact quasi-Fuchsian surface in a finite volume hyperbolic 3–manifold, we introduce a new invariant called the cusp thickness, that measures how far the surface is from being totally geodesic. We relate this new invariant to the width of a surface, which allows us to extend and generalize results known for totally geodesic surfaces. We also show that checkerboard surfaces provide e...
