We characterize the sequences of Kleinian surface groups with convergent subsequences in terms of the asymptotic behavior of the ending invariants of the associated hyperbolic 3‐manifolds. Asymptotic behavior of end invariants in a convergent sequence predicts the parabolic locus of the algebraic limit as well as how the algebraic limit wraps within the geometric limit under the natural locally isometric covering map.

Continuity of the renormalized volume under geometric limits
We extend the concept of renormalized volume for geometrically finite hyperbolic $3$-manifolds, and show that is continuous for geometrically convergent sequences of hyperbolic structures over an…
Local topology in deformation spaces of hyperbolic 3-manifolds II
We prove that the deformation space $AH(M)$ of marked hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold $M$ with incompressible boundary is locally connected at…
Windows, cores and skinning maps
We give a generalization of Thurston's Bounded Image Theorem for skinning maps, which applies to pared 3-manifolds with incompressible boundary that are not necessarily acylindrical. Along the way we…
Local connectedness of the space of punctured torus group
We will give a necessary condition for local connectedness of the space of Kleinian punctured torus group using Bromgerg’s local coordinate system and provide a sufficient condition for local…
Realisation of bending measured laminations by Kleinian surface groups
. For geometrically finite Kleinian surface groups, Bonahon and Otal proved the existence part, and partly the uniqueness part of the bending lamination conjecture. In this paper, we generalise the…
The Double Limit Theorem and Its Legacy
This chapter surveys recent and less recent results on convergence of Kleinian representations, following Thurston’s Double Limit and “AH(acylindrical) is compact” Theorems.

THE CLASSIFICATION OF KLEINIAN SURFACE GROUPS, II: THE ENDING LAMINATION CONJECTURE
Thurston’s Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3manifold N with nitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this…
Spaces of Kleinian Groups: Train tracks and the Gromov boundary of the complex of curves

Self-bumping of deformation spaces of hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Asymptotic Geometry of the Mapping Class Group and Teichmuller Space
In this work, we study the asymptotic geometry of the mapping class group and Teichmuller space. We introduce tools for analyzing the geometry of “projection” maps from these spaces to curve…

We examine the internal geometry of a Kleinian surface group and its relations to the asymptotic geometry of its ends, using the combinatorial structure of the complex of curves on the surface. Our…

Length Bounds on Curves Arising from Tight Geodesics
TLDR
An upper bound on the lengths of curves of a complete hyperbolic 3-manifold admitting a homotopy equivalence to a compact surface ∑ is given, which feature in the work of Brock, Canary and Minsky towards the ending lamination conjecture and can also be used to study the action of the mapping class group on the curve complex.
Boundaries of Teichmüller spaces and end-invariants for hyperbolic 3-manifolds
We study two boundaries for the Teichmüller space of a surface Teich(S) due to Bers and Thurston. Each point in Bers’ boundary is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with an associated geodesic lamination on S,…
