Magid" ], "categories": [ "math.GT" ], "abstract": "For any closed surface $S$ of genus $g \\geq 2$, we show that the deformation space of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to $S$, $AH(S \\times I)$, is not locally connected. This proves a conjecture of Bromberg who recently proved that the space of Kleinian punctured torus groups is not locally connected. Playing an essential role in our proof is a new version of the filling theorem that is based on the theory of cone-manifold deformations developed by Hodgson, Kerckhoff, and Bromberg.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-23T21:53:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50", "30F40" ], "keywords": [ "kleinian surface groups", "deformation space", "kleinian punctured torus groups", "cone-manifold deformations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1003.4541M" } } }
