This paper is about the degenerations of some geometric quantities of globally hyperbolic maximally Cauchy-compact anti-de Sitter manifolds along rays of cotangent vectors in the Krasnov-Schlenker parametrization. Recall that anti-de Sitter space is the Lorentzian analog of hyperbolic space. A 3-dimensional manifold \(M\) is called anti-de Sitter if it is locally isometric to \(\mathrm{AdS}_3\). It is globally hyperbolic maximally Cauchy-compact (GHMC) if it contains an embedded closed, orientied surface \(S\) that intersects every inextensible causal curve in exactly one point together with a natural maximality condition. Such a manifold is diffeomorphic to \(S\times \mathbb{R}\). These manifolds are the Lorentzian analogs of almost-Fuchsian manifolds. Two parametrizations of the set of GHMC anti-de Sitter manifolds are fundamental: the Mess parametrization by \(\mathrm{Teich}(S)\times \mathrm{Teich}(S)\) and the Krasnov-Schlenker parametrization by \(T^*\mathrm{Teich}(S)\), where \(\mathrm{Teich}(S)\) denotes the Teichmüller space of \(S\). The key point for the second parametrization is the existence of a unique embedded maximal surface \(\Sigma\) inside \(M\). It is uniquely determined by the induced metric and the second fundamental form which is described by a holomorphic quadratic differential \(q\). The author studies three geometric quantities related to the manifold \(M\) with holonomy \(\rho\). The first is the Hölder exponent of the unique homeomorphism of \(\mathbb{RP}^1\) intertwining the two actions of \(\pi_1(S)\) on \(\mathbb{RP}^1\) coming from the Mess parametrization. The second is the Lorentzian Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of \(\rho\), recently defined by \textit{O. Glorieux} and \textit{D. Monclair} [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2021, No. 18, 13661--13729 (2021; Zbl 1487.53085)]. The last is the width of the convex core of \(M\), which is the quotient of the convex hull of the limit set by \(\rho\). The author considers a family of manifolds \(M_t\) with Krasnov-Schlenker parametrization \((h,tq)\in T^*\mathrm{Teich}(S)\) where \(t\to\infty\) and proves that: (1) The Hölder exponent of the limit curve tends to zero (Theorem 2.7); (2) The Lorentzian Hausdorff dimension of the limit set tends to zero (Theorem 3.13); (3) The width of the convex core tends to \(\pi/2\) (Proposition 4.3). As a related result, the induced metric \(I_t\) on the maximal surface \(\Sigma_t\) is studied. From explicit upper and lower bounds it follows that \(I_t/t\) tends to the metric \(\lvert q\rvert\) outside of the zeros of \(q\) and monotonically from above (Proposition 3.10). The paper is thoroughly written and gives many details.
