Fall Abstracts
Caglar Uyanik
Cannon and Thurston showed that a hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle gives rise to a sphere-filling curve. The universal cover of the fiber surface is quasi-isometric to the hyperbolic plane, whose boundary is a circle, and the universal cover of the 3-manifold is 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, whose boundary is the 2-sphere. Cannon and Thurston showed that the inclusion map between the universal covers extends to a continuous map between their boundaries, whose image is dense. In particular, any measure on the circle pushes forward to a measure on the 2-sphere using this map. We compare several natural measures coming from this construction.
