Density theorem for Kleinian groups

Density theorem for Kleinian groups

In the mathematical theory of Kleinian groups, the density conjecture of Lipman Bers, Dennis Sullivan, and William Thurston, states that every finitely generated Kleinian group is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite Kleinian groups.

History

Bers (1970) suggested the Bers density conjecture, that singly degenerate Kleinian surface groups are on the boundary of a Bers slice. This was proved by Bronberg (2007) for Kleinian groups with no parabolic elements. A more general version of Bers's conjecture due to Sullivan and Thurston states that every finitely generated Kleinian group is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite Kleinian groups. Brock & Bromberg (2004) proved this for freely indecomposable Kleinian groups without parabolic elements. The density conjecture was finally proved using the tameness theorem and the ending lamination theorem by Namazi & Suoto (2010) and Ohshika (2011).
