The visual core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold (Q5957331)

Let \(N=H^3/\Gamma\) be a hyperbolic 3-manifold. The authors define the \textit{visual core} of \(N\) as the projection to \(N\) of all the points in hyperbolic space \(H^3\) at which no component of the domain of discontinuity of \(\Gamma\) has visual measure greater than half of that of the entire sphere at infinity. They investigate conditions under which the visual core of a cover \(N'=H^3/\Gamma'\) of \(N\) embeds in \(N\), via the covering map \(\pi : N'\to N\). They show then that if the algebraic limit of a sequence of isomorphic Kleinian groups is a generalized web group, then the visual core of the algebraic limit manifold embeds in the geometric limit manifold. Finally, they discuss the relationship between the visual core and Klein-Maskit combination along component subgroups.
