The Dimension of the Torelli group
Mladen Bestvina, Kai-Uwe Bux, Dan Margalit
We prove that the cohomological dimension of the Torelli group for a closed connected orientable surface of genus g at least 2 is equal to 3g-5. This answers a question of Mess, wh…
Counting maps from a surface to a graph
Mladen Bestvina, Mark Feighn
Let F be a non-abelian finite rank free group, and let H_g be the fundamental group of a surface of genus g with one boundary component represented by D_g in H_g. So, H_g is the fr…
The topology of
Mladen Bestvina
We will survey the work on the topology of in the last 20 years or so. Much of the development is driven by the tantalizing analogy with mapping class groups. Unfortunat…
Projective structures with degenerate holonomy and the Bers density conjecture
Kenneth Bromberg
We prove the Bers' density conjecture for singly degenerate Kleinian surfaces groups without parabolics.
Hyperbolic cone-manifolds, short geodesics and Schwarzian derivatives
Kenneth Bromberg
Given a geometrically finite hyperbolic cone-manifold, with the cone singularity sufficiently short, we construct a one parameter family of cone-manifolds decreasing the cone angle…
