David Dumas, Richard P. Kent
We prove that every Bers slice of quasi-Fuchsian space is Zariski dense in the character variety.

Slicing, skinning, and grafting
David Dumas, Richard P. Kent
We prove that a Bers slice is never algebraic, meaning that its Zariski closure in the character variety has strictly larger dimension. A corollary is that skinning maps are never…

Skinning maps
Richard P. Kent
Let M be a hyperbolic 3-manifold with nonempty totally geodesic boundary. We prove that there are upper and lower bounds on the diameter of the skinning map of M that depend only o…
