The amount of bending of an abstract pleated surface (homeomorphic to $S$) with the pleating locus $\\lambda$ is completely determined by an $(\\mathbb{R}/2\\pi\\mathbb{Z})$-valued finitely additive transverse cocycle $\\beta$ to the geodesic lamination $\\lambda$. We give a sufficient condition on $\\beta$ such that the corresponding pleating map $\\tilde{f}_{\\beta}:\\mathbb{H}^2\\to\\mathbb{H}^3$ induces a quasiFuchsian representation of the surface group $\\pi_1(S)$. Our condition is genus independent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-05-15T03:03:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "maximal geodesic lamination", "closed hyperbolic surface", "abstract pleated surface", "valued finitely additive transverse cocycle", "sufficient condition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.1098S" } } }
