Projective structures, grafting and measured laminations

چکیده
A complex projective (or CP ) structure on a compact surface S is an atlas of charts with values in CP and Möbius transition functions. Let P.S/ denote the space of (isotopy classes of) marked complex projective structures on S , and let T .S/ be the Teichmüller space of (isotopy classes of) marked complex structures on S . Because Möbius maps are holomorphic, there is a forgetful projection W P.S/! T .S/.

Linear structures on measured geodesic laminations
The space ML(F ) of measured geodesic laminations on a given compact closed hyperbolic surface F has a canonical linear structure arising in fact from different sources in 2-dimensional hyperbolic (eartquake theory) or complex projective (grafting) geometry as well in (2 + 1) Lorentzian one (globally hyperbolic spacetimes of constant curvature). We investigate this linear structure, by showing ...
متن کاملGrafting, Pruning, and the Antipodal Map on Measured Laminations
Grafting a measured lamination on a hyperbolic surface defines a self-map of Teichmüller space, which is a homeomorphism by a result of Scannell and Wolf. In this paper we study the large-scale behavior of pruning, which is the inverse of grafting. Specifically, for each conformal structure X ∈ T (S), pruning X gives a map ML (S) → T (S). We show that this map extends to the Thurston compactifi...
متن کاملA Symplectic Map between Hyperbolic and Complex Teichmüller Theory
Let S be a closed, orientable surface of genus at least 2. The space TH ×ML, where TH is the “hyperbolic” Teichmüller space of S and ML is the space of measured geodesic laminations on S, is naturally a real symplectic manifold. The space CP of complex projective structures on S is a complex symplectic manifold. A relation between these spaces is provided by Thurston’s grafting map Gr. We prove...
متن کاملThe Schwarzian Derivative and Measured Laminations on Riemann Surfaces
A holomorphic quadratic differential on a hyperbolic Riemann surface has an associated measured foliation, which can be straightened to yield a measured geodesic lamination. On the other hand, a quadratic differential can be considered as the Schwarzian derivative of a CP1 structure, to which one can naturally associate another measured geodesic lamination (using grafting). We compare these two...
متن کاملThe Grafting Map of Teichmüller Space
1.1 Statement and Context. One of the underlying principles in the study of Kleinian groups is that aspects of the complex projective geometry of quotients of Ĉ by the groups reflect properties of the threedimensional hyperbolic geometry of the quotients of H by the groups. Yet, even though it has been over thirty-five years since Lipman Bers wrote down a holomorphic embedding of the Teichmülle...
