Abstract: We show that Thurston's skinning maps of Teichmuller space have finite fibers. The proof centers around a study of two subvarieties of the SL_2(C) character variety of a surface, one associated to complex projective structures and the other associated to a 3-manifold. Using the Morgan-Shalen compactification of the character variety and the results of [arXiv:1105.5102] on holonomy limits of complex projective structures, we show that these subvarieties have only a discrete set of intersections. Along the way, we introduce a natural stratified Kahler metric on the space of holomorphic quadratic differentials on a Riemann surface and show that it is symplectomorphic to the space of measured foliations. Mirzakhani has used this symplectomorphism to show that the Hubbard-Masur function is constant; we include a proof of this result. We also generalize Floyd's theorem on the space of boundary curves of incompressible, boundary-incompressible surfaces to a statement about extending group actions on Lambda-trees.
