Yoshida. We geometrize it so that it will be a real hyperbolic cone-manifold of finite volume with dimension n-3. Then, we vary weights for points. The geometrization still makes sense and yields a deformation. The effectivity of deformations arisen in this manner will be locally described in the existing deformation theory of hyperbolic structures when n-3 = 2, 3.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-09-25T03:06:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M50", "53C15" ], "keywords": [ "hyperbolic dehn fillings", "configuration space", "real hyperbolic cone-manifold", "equal weights", "real projective line" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998math......9147K" } } }
