Abstract: We introduce the notion of the visual core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold N and explore its basic properties. The visual core can be thought of as a harmonic analysis analogue of the convex core. We investigate circumstances in which the visual core of a cover N' of N embeds under the covering map from N' to N. We apply this analysis to convergent sequences of Kleinian groups, in order to understand when the visual core of the algebraic limit manifold embeds in the geometric limit manifold. We close with a discussion of the behavior of the visual core under Klein-Maskit combination.

Review text

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.
