Algebraic and geometric convergence of discrete representations into $\mathrm{PSL}_2\mathbb{C}$

Ian Biringer and Juan Souto

Geometry & Topology 14 (2010) 2431–2477
Abstract

Anderson and Canary have shown that if the algebraic limit of a sequence of discrete, faithful representations of a finitely generated group into PSL2 does not contain parabolics, then it is also the sequence’s geometric limit. We construct examples that demonstrate the failure of this theorem for certain sequences of unfaithful representations, and offer a suitable replacement.

Keywords
hyperbolic manifold, algebraic convergence, geometric convergence
