Branched projective structures with Fuchsian holonomy

Gabriel Calsamiglia, Bertrand Deroin and Stefano Francaviglia

Geometry & Topology 18 (2014) 379–446
Abstract

We prove that if S is a closed compact surface of genus g 2, and if ρ: π1(S) PSL(2, ) is a quasi-Fuchsian representation, then the space k,ρ of branched projective structures on S with total branching order k and holonomy ρ is connected, for k > 0. Equivalently, two branched projective structures with the same quasi-Fuchsian holonomy and the same number of branch points are related by a movement of branch points. In particular grafting annuli are obtained by moving branch points. In the appendix we give an explicit atlas for k,ρ for non-elementary representations ρ. It is shown to be a smooth complex manifold modeled on Hurwitz spaces.
