Abstract: We study limits of quasifuchsian groups for which the bending measures on the convex hull boundary tend to zero, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the limit group to exist and be Fuchsian. As an application we complete the proof of a conjecture made in cite{S1}, that the closure of pleating varieties for quasifuchsian groups meet Fuchsian space exactly in Kerckhoff's lines of minima of length functions. Doubling our examples gives rise to a large class of cone manifolds which degenerate to hyperbolic surfaces as the cone angles approach $2pi$.

Review text

The author studies the limits of quasi-Fuchsian groups for which the bending measures on the convex hull boundary tend to zero, and several necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and being Fuchsian of the limit group are given. As a consequence, it is proved that the answer to Conjecture \(6.5\) in [Geom. Dedicata 88, 211--237 (2001; Zbl 1005.30032)] raised by the author is positive. A large class of cone manifolds which degenerate to hyperbolic surfaces as the cone angles approach \(2\pi\) has been obtained by doubling the author's examples.
