Geometry and Topology of Geometric Limits I

In this chapter, we classify completely, up to isometry, hyperbolic 3-manifolds corresponding to geometric limits of Kleinian surface groups isomorphic to π1(S) for a finite-type hyperbolic surface S. In the first of the three main theorems which constitu

Preface

This is the first of a series of three volumes consisting of essays on Thurston’s contribution to mathematics, its development and its impact. The present volume contains 16 chapters. Some of them are surveys of Thurston’s works on several topics, including knot theory, geometrization of 3-manifolds, Kleinian groups, circle packings, the complex projective geometry of surfaces, and laminar groups. Other chapters are overviews of works that are directly inspired by Thurston’s ideas. They include topics such as the dynamical and counting problems for curves on hyperbolic surfaces, the study of surfaces of infinite type and their mapping class groups, the complex-analytic geometry of Teichmüller space, a stratification of moduli spaces of polynomials, and there are two chapters dedicated to the recent activity on anti-de Sitter geometry and quasi-Fuchsian co-Minkowski manifolds, two theories whose development follows closely Thurston’s ideas that he introduced in his study of hyperbolic geometry. All the chapters in this volume are self-contained and p
