We study the dynamics of the action of Out(\\pi_1(M)) on both AH(M) and X(M). The nature of the dynamics reflects the topology of M. The quotient AI(M)=AH(M)/Out(\\pi_1(M)) may naturally be thought of as the moduli space of unmarked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to M and its topology reflects the dynamics of the action.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-09-13T18:03:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "moduli space", "character varieties", "hyperbolic", "homotopy equivalent", "space ah" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.1418C" } } }
