Paperback

    The subject of Kleinian groups and hyperbolic 3-manifolds is currently undergoing explosively fast development, the last few years having seen the resolution of many longstanding conjectures. This volume contains important expositions and original work by some of the main contributors on topics such as topology and geometry of 3-manifolds, curve complexes, classical Ahlfors-Bers theory, computer explorations and projective structures. Researchers in these and related areas will find much of interest here.

    • Important and original research from leading names
    • Includes results in topology and geometry of 3-manifolds, curve complexes, classical Ahlfors-Bers theory
    • Covers much of the material from the explosion in the area over recent years
