Combinatorial and Geometrical Aspects of Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds

Abstract

These revised lecture notes are an expository account of part of the proof of Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture for Kleinian surface groups, which states that such groups are uniquely determined by invariants that describe the asymptotic structure of the ends of their quotient manifolds.
