Divergent sequences of function groups (Q2519051)

To describe the main result of the paper under review, let us denote by \(N\) a hyperbolic 3-manifold with a compressing boundary and consider the space \({\mathcal P}{\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(\partial N)\) of all projective measured laminations on \(\partial N\). Denote by \({\mathcal E}\) the set of all \(\lambda\in{\mathcal P}{\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(\partial N)\) such that there exists an essential disk or annulus \(A\) satisfying \(i(\lambda,\partial A)=0\), where \(i(\cdot,\cdot)\) stands for the intersection form. Then for every \(\lambda\) in the closure of \({\mathcal E}\) in \({\mathcal P}{\mathcal M}{\mathcal L}(\partial N)\) there exists a sequence in a convex compact representation space that converges to \(\lambda\) and diverges in the space of conjugation classes of discrete faithful representations from \(\pi_1(N)\) into \(\text{PSL}(2,{\mathbb C})\).
