Measured Lamination Spaces for 3-Manifolds
One of Thurston’s important contributions to surface theory is his construction of measured lamination spaces. These spaces originally arose because their projectivizations form natural boundaries for Teichmüller spaces, but they are also of interest purely topologically. For example, they provide a nice global framework in which to view all the isotopy classes of simple closed curves in a surf...
متن کاملGeometric Intersection of Curves on Surfaces
In order to better understand the geometric intersection number of curves, we introduce a new tool, the smoothing lemma. This lets us write the geometric intersection number i(X, A), where X is a simple curve and A is any curve, canonically as a maximum of various i(X, A), where the A are also simple and independent of X . We use this to get a new derivation of the change of DehnThurston coordi...
متن کاملcompactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops
chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...
15 صفحه اولSimple Loops on Surfaces and Their Intersection Numbers
Given a compact orientable surface , let S(() be the set of isotopy classes of essential simple loops on. We determine a complete set of relations for a function from S(() to Z to be a geometric intersection number function. As a consequence, we obtain explicit equations in R S(() and P(R S(()) deening Thurston's space of measured laminations and Thurston's compactiication of the Teichm uller s...
متن کاملSelf-intersection Numbers and Random Surfaces on the Lattice
String theory in 4 dimensions has the unique feature that a topological term, the oriented self-intersection number, can be added to the usual action. It has been suggested that the corresponding theory of random surfaces wold be free from the problem encountered in the scaling of the string tension. Unfortunately, in the usual dynamical triangulation it is not clear how to write such a term. W...
