Asymptotic properties of depth one foliations in hyperbolic 3-manifolds (Q1203633): Difference between revisions

The following theorem is proved (from the text): Let \({\mathcal F}\) be a codimension one, Reebless, transversely oriented, depth one foliation on a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold \(M\). Suppose that no compact leaf is a fiber of a fibration of \(M\) over \(S^ 1\). Assume the monodromies associated to the infinite genus leaves are irreducible. Then: a) If \(T\) is any leaf of \({\mathcal F}\), \(\varphi_{\widetilde T}: H^ 2\to H^ 3\) extends continuously to the circle at infinity for any lift \(\widetilde T\) of \(T\) to the universal cover of \(M\), so \(\varphi_{\widetilde{T}\mid{S_ \infty^ 1}}\) gives a parametrization of the limit set of \(\widetilde {T}\). b) If \(S\) is a compact leaf then \(\rho(\pi_ 1(S))\) is a quasi Fuchsian group and so has a quasi circle as limit set. c) If \(T\) is a depth one leaf then its limit set is a Sierpinski curve of measure 0, therefore not a Jordan curve nor the whole sphere.
