The notion of i-bounded geometry generalises simultaneously bounded geometry and the geometry of punctured torus Kleinian groups. We show that the limit set of a surface Kleinian group of i-bounded geometry is locally connected by constructing a natural Cannon-Thurston map.
On décrit un exemple de variété de contact universellement tendue qui devient vrillée après une chirurgie de Dehn admissible sur un entrelacs transverse.
We show that if is a discrete subgroup of the group of the isometries of , and if is a representation of into the group of the isometries of , then any -equivariant map extends to the boundary in a weak sense in the setting of Borel measures. As a consequence of this fact, we obtain an extension of a result of Besson, Courtois and Gallot about the existence of volume non-increasing, equivariant maps. Then, we show that the weak extension we obtain is actually a measurable -equivariant...
The paper gives an account of the recent development in 3-dimensional contact geometry. The central result of the paper states that there exists a unique tight contact structure on . Together with the earlier classification of overtwisted contact structures on 3-manifolds this result completes the classification of contact structures on .
We prove a structure theorem for closed, orientable 5-manifolds with fundamental group and second Stiefel-Whitney class equal to zero on . This structure theorem is then used to construct contact structures on such manifolds by applying contact surgery to fake projective spaces and certain -quotients of .
