A question about the proof of Mostow rigidity

I have recently been studying a proof of Mostow rigidity (along the lines of Mostow's original argument), and I'm left a little confused about something. We start with an isomorphism $\alpha: \Gamma \...

Bi-Lipschitz classification of germs of conformal metrics at a singularity

First let me introduce some definitions. By a germ of conformal metrics at a singularity, or simply a germ, I mean a conformal Riemannian metric $g$ defined on a punctured neighborhood $U$ of $0$ in $...

Is the conformal compactification of a convex-cocompact hyperbolic manifold $M$ conformally diffeomorphic to the convex core of $M$?

I am not a hyperbolic geometer, so I apologize if I get anything wrong here, and please correct me. The conformal compactification $\overline {\mathbb{H}^n}$ of hyperbolic $n$-space $\mathbb{H}^n$ ...

A sequence of conformal metrics with bounded negative curvatures on the disc

Let $\mathbb{D}$ denote the unit disk, and let $h_{-1}$ be the unique hyperbolic metric on $\mathbb{D}$ which is conformal to $dz^{2}$. Take a sequence of smooth complete metrics $h_{n} = e^{\rho_{n}} ...

Expansion of metric near boundary of 3 dimensional Poincaré-Einstein/hyperbolic manifolds

In Mazzeo-Alexakis, there is a brief discussion that if $(M^3,g) \sim \mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma$ (for $\Gamma$ convex cocompact), then the metric can be expanded near the topological boundary as $$g = \frac{...
