Double limit theorem: for any sequence of quasi-Fuchsian groups whose controlling pair of conformal structures tends toward a pair of projectively measured laminations that bind the surface, there is a convergent subsequence. This preprint also analyzes the quasi-isometric geometry of quasi-Fuchsian 3-manifolds. This eprint is based on a 1986 preprint, which was refereed and accepted for publication, but which I neglected to correct and return. The referee's corrections have now been incorporated, but it is largely the same as the 1986 version (which was a significant revision of a 1981 version).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-01-10T22:16:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "surface groups", "hyperbolic structures", "conformal structures tends", "circle admits", "geometric decomposition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998math......1045T" } } }
