Flat Lorentz 3-manifolds and cocompact Fuchsian groups

چکیده
Mess deduces this result as part of a general theory of domains of dependence in constant curvature Lorentzian 3-manifolds. We give an alternate proof, using an invariant introduced by Margulis [18, 19] and Teichmüller theory. We thank Scott Wolpert for helpful conversations concerning Teichmüller theory. We also wish to thank Paul Igodt and the Algebra Research Group at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven at Kortrijk, Belgium for their hospitality at the “Workshop on Crystallographic Groups and their Generalizations II”, where these results were obtained.

Small Generators of Cocompact Arithmetic Fuchsian Groups
In the study of Fuchsian groups, it is a nontrivial problem to determine a set of generators. Using a dynamical approach we construct for any cocompact arithmetic Fuchsian group a fundamental region in SL2(R) from which we determine a set of small generators.
متن کاملHolography and the Geometry of Certain Convex Cocompact Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
Applying the idea of AdS/CFT correspondence, Krasnov [Kra00] studied a class of convex cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In physics literature they are known as Euclidean BTZ black holes. Mathematically they can be described as H/Γ, where Γ ⊂ PSL(2,C) is a Schottky group. His main result, roughly speaking, identifies the renormalized volume of such a manifold with the action for the Liouville t...
متن کاملThe Lower Algebraic K-theory of Fuchsian Groups
Let Γ be a cocompact Fuchsian group. We calculate the lower algebraic K-theory of the integral group ring ZΓ and find an explicit formula for Ki(ZΓ), i ≤ 1, in terms of the lower K-groups of finite cyclic groups.
متن کاملQuasiconformal Stability of Kleinian Groups and an Embedding of a Space of Flat Conformal Structures
We show the quasiconformal stability for torsion-free convex cocompact Kleinian groups acting on higher dimensional hyperbolic spaces. As an application, we prove an embedding theorem of a space of flat conformal structures on a certain class of compact manifolds.
