In this paper we prove this conjecture for Kleinian surface groups; the general case when N has incompressible ends relative to its cusps follows readily. The main ingredient is the establishment of a uniformly bilipschitz model for a Kleinian surface group. The first half of the proof appeared in math.GT/0302208, and a subsequent paper will establish the Ending Lamination Conjecture in general.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-03-09T03:58:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "30F40", "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "kleinian surface group", "thurstons ending lamination conjecture states", "classification", "subsequent paper", "end invariants" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 143, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....12006B" } } }
