The topics covered include the definition of the deformation space of a Kleinian group and of several important subspaces; a discussion of the parametrization by topological data of the components of the closure of the deformation space; the relationship between algebraic and geometric limits of sequences of Kleinian groups; and the behavior of several geometrically and analytically interesting functions on the deformation space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-10-23T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "30F40", "57M50" ], "keywords": [ "kleinian group", "deformation theory", "brief survey", "deformation space", "geometric limits" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
