One of the basic problems in studying topological structures of deformation spaces
for Kleinian groups is to find a criterion to distinguish convergent sequences from
divergent sequences. In this paper, we shall give a sufficient condition for sequences of
Kleinian groups isomorphic to surface groups to diverge in the deformation
spaces.
Dedicated to Prof David Epstein on the
occasion of his 60th birthday.
