In hyperbolic geometry, Thurston's double limit theorem gives condition for a sequence of quasi-Fuchsian groups to have a convergent subsequence. It was introduced in , theorem 4.1) and is a major ste

In mathematics, the Ahlfors conjecture, now a theorem, states that the limit set of a finitely-generated Kleinian group is either the whole Riemann sphere, or has measure 0. The conjecture was introdu
The geometry and topology of three-manifolds
The geometry and topology of three-manifolds is a set of widely circulated but unpublished notes by William Thurston from 1978 to 1980 describing his work on 3-manifolds. The notes introduced several

In mathematics, a Kleinian model is a model of a three-dimensional hyperbolic manifold N by the quotient space where is a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,C). Here, the subgroup , a Kleinian group, is defin
Riley slice
In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, the Riley slice of Schottky space is a family of Kleinian groups generated by two parabolic elements. It was studied in detail by and named after Robert

In mathematics, more precisely in topology and differential geometry, a hyperbolic 3–manifold is a manifold of dimension 3 equipped with a hyperbolic metric, that is a Riemannian metric which has all
Bers slice
In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, Bers slices and Maskit slices, named after Lipman Bers and Bernard Maskit, are certain slices through the moduli space of Kleinian groups.

In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, the density conjecture of Lipman Bers, Dennis Sullivan, and William Thurston, later proved independently by and , states that every finitely generated Kl
Quasi-Fuchsian group
In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, a quasi-Fuchsian group is a Kleinian group whose limit set is contained in an invariant Jordan curve. If the limit set is equal to the Jordan curve the q

Hilbert's twenty-second problem is the penultimate entry in the celebrated list of 23 Hilbert problems compiled in 1900 by David Hilbert. It entails the uniformization of analytic relations by means o

In mathematics, Mumford's compactness theorem states that the space of compact Riemann surfaces of fixed genus g > 1 with no closed geodesics of length less than some fixed ε > 0 in the Poincaré metri
Geometric finiteness
In geometry, a group of isometries of hyperbolic space is called geometrically finite if it has a well-behaved fundamental domain. A hyperbolic manifold is called geometrically finite if it can be des
