We consider 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter manifolds with conical singularities along time-like lines, which is what in the physics literature is known as manifolds with particles. We show that the space of such cone-manifolds is parametrized by the cotangent bundle of Teichmüller space, and that moreover such cone-manifolds have a canonical foliation by space-like surfaces. We extend these results to de Sitter and Minkowski cone-manifolds, as well as to some related “quasifuchsian” hyperbolic…
