Abstract

Let M³ be a compact, oriented, irreducible, and boundary incompressible 3–manifold. Assume that its fundamental group is without rank two abelian subgroups and ∂M³≠∅. We will show that every homomorphism θ:π₁(M³)→PSL(2,C) which is not ``boundary elementary'' is induced by a possibly branched complex projective structure on the boundary of a hyperbolic manifold homeomorphic to M³.

Keywords

projective structures on Riemann surfaces, hyperbolic 3–manifolds
