Continuity of the renormalized volume under geometric limits
arXiv:1605.07986
Abstract
We extend the concept of renormalized volume for geometrically finite hyperbolic -manifolds, and show that is continuous for geometrically convergent sequences of hyperbolic structures over an acylindrical 3-manifold with geometrically finite limit. This allows us to show that the renormalized volume attains its minimum (in terms of the conformal class at ) at the geodesic class, the conformal class for which the boundary of the convex core is totally geodesic.
