On the Shape of Bers–maskit Slices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider complex one-dimensional Bers–Maskit slices through the deformation space of quasifuchsian groups which uniformize a pair of punctured tori. In these slices, the pleating locus on one of the components of the convex hull boundary of the quotient three-manifold has constant rational pleating and constant hyperbolic length. We show that the boundary of such a slice is a Jordan curve which is cusped at a countable dense set of points. We will also show that the slices are not vertically convex, proving the phenomenon observed numerically by Epstein, Marden and Markovic.

Cusps in Complex Boundaries of One-dimensional Teichmüller Space
This paper gives a proof of the conjectural phenomena on the complex boundary one-dimensional slices: Every rational boundary point is cusp shaped. This paper treats this problem for Bers slices, the Earle slices, and the Maskit slice. In proving this, we also obtain the following result: Every Teichmüller modular transformation acting on a Bers slice can be extended as a quasi-conformal mappin...
متن کاملSpirals in the Boundary of Slices of Quasi-fuchsian Space
We prove that the Bers and Maskit slices of the quasi-Fuchsian space of a once-punctured torus have a dense, uncountable set of points in their boundaries about which the boundary spirals infinitely.
متن کاملCanonical Mappings between Teichmüller Spaces
Introduction. In an important survey article [BIO] Bers reported on the state of knowledge of Teichmüller theory. There has been a lot of progress in the field since that time. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the recent work in one area of Teichmüller space theory. We will concentrate on the hyperbolic properties of Teichmüller spaces, and present as many consequences of this hyperbol...
متن کاملOn the Maskit Slice of 4-dimensional Kleinian Punctured Torus Groups
Let Γ be a 3-dimensional Kleinian punctured torus group with accidental parabolics. The deformation space of Γ in the group of Möbius transformations on the 2-sphere is well-known as the Maskit slice of punctured torus groups. In this paper, we study the deformation space of Γ in the group of Möbius transformations on the 3-sphere, where Γ is naturally regarded as a 4-dimensional Kleinian group...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Maskit Slice for 4-dimensional Kleinian Groups
Let Γ be a 3-dimensional Kleinian punctured torus group with accidental parabolic transformations. The deformation space of Γ in the group of Möbius transformations on the 2-sphere is well known as the Maskit slice M1,1 of punctured torus groups. In this paper, we study deformations Γ′ of Γ in the group of Möbius transformations on the 3-sphere such that Γ′ does not contain screw parabolic tran...
