Compact deformations of Fuchsian groups (Q1809905)

Let \(G\) be a non-elementary discrete group of Möbius transformations acting on the hyperbolic ball, \(B^3\). By definition a conformal map \(\varphi\) on the unit disk is called a compact deformation of a Fuchsian group \(G\) if \(\varphi\) has a quasiconformal extension to the plane \(h\) which conjugates \(G\) to a Kleinian group \(G^*\) and the dilatation \(\mu\) of \(h\) is compactly supported modulo \(G\). The author's prove that for such deformations \(\dim \Lambda (G^*)= \dim\Lambda_c (G^*)=\delta\) (if \(\delta\geq 1)\), and the image of \(\Lambda_e =\Lambda\setminus \Lambda_c\) is contained in a countable union of rectifiable curves and has zero length iff \(G\) is of divergence type. The main idea is to divide disk into two types of regions: those near support of \(\mu\) and these at least distance \(r\) from it. Here \(\Lambda\subset S^2= \partial B^3\), \(\Lambda= \Lambda_c\cup \Lambda_e\) denote the limit points corresponding to geodesics in \(M=B^3/G\) which are recurrent or escaping in \(M\), respectively.
