Algebraic limits of geometrically finite manifolds are tame (Q2491973)

An irreducible 3-manifold is called tame if it is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact 3-manifold. Marsden's Tameness Conjecture asserts that every hyperbolic 3-manifold with a finitely generated fundamental group is tame. This conjecture has been proved recently by \textit{D. Calegari} and \textit{D. Gabai} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 19, No. 2, 385--446 (2006; Zbl 1090.57010)] as the culmination of the work of many authors. The paper under review was intended as a contribution towards the proof of this conjecture. It completes the argument of [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 98, 145--166 (2003; Zbl 1060.30054)] of the authors in collaboration with \textit{K. Bromberg} and \textit{R. Evans}. Together they prove that an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds is tame. The proof involves an intricate and delicate combination of the methods of 3-dimensional topology with those of the theory of Kleinian groups.
