Space of thick ending laminations

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact closed connected oriented surface of genus $g>1$. Klarreich proved that the space of ending laminations $\mathcal{EL}(\Sigma)$ is the ideal boundary of the curve complex $...

Why is the Teichmüller space of a surface homeomorphic to a component of the $\mathrm{PSL} (2, \mathbb R)$ character variety of its fundamental group?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}\DeclareMathOperator\PSL{PSL}$ I have a reference request for a proof for the following statement in the title: The Teichmüller space $T_g$ of the surface $S_g$ of genus ...

Cusps of hyperbolic surfaces under finite covers

The following statement seems true, but I don't know a proof or a reference for it (and I would like one). Let $\Gamma< \operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb R)$ be a nonuniform lattice with one cusp. We ...

A closed curve can be homotopic to remove all intersections with a filling $\Gamma$ if it has zero geometric intersection numbers with $\Gamma$

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact oriented connected bordered surface other than the pair of pants. Let $\Gamma:=\{\gamma_i\}$ be a finite collection of simple closed curves on $\Sigma$ such that each ...

Hyperbolic length of curve that does not enter a collar

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface of genus at least $1$ with one boundary component, equipped with a hyperbolic metric so that the boundary is geodesic. There is a version of the collar lemma that ...

Maximal orders and surface subgroups of even genus

Let $A$ be a quaternion algebra over a totally real number field $k$. Suppose that $A$ splits at exactly one real place of $A$. Let $\mathcal{O}$ be a maximal order in $A$. Then $\mathcal{O}$ contains ...
