As a corollary we observe that a sequence of degenerate groups converging algebraically on the boundary of a Bers' slice to a geometrically finite group does not converge strongly.
We provide bounds on the exponent of convergence of a planar discrete quasiconformal group in terms of the associated dilatation and (a) the Hausdorff dimension of its conical limit set, or (b) the exponent of convergence of an underlying Kleinian group.
In particular, we show that for a pair of geometrically isomorphic convex co-compact Kleinian groups, the ratio of the mass of the Patterson-Sullivan measure on line element space to the mass of its push-forward is bounded below by the ratio of the Hausdorff dimensions of the limit sets.

 BEING A KLEINIAN IS NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD
Kleinians are thought to make long and penetrating interpretations based on what may appear to an unsympathetic outsider to be based on very little material.
I can think of several people in the Kleinian world who have done truly admirable work, but the reverence in which they are held is really distressing and inconsistent with the advocacy of balance of the mixed nature of reality and sanity as characterised in the depressive position.

I gave this manuscript to Caroline Series when she visited Göttingen, and because of her expertise in the combinatorics of Kleinian groups and Riemann surfaces and ultimately three-manifolds she was the ideal person to prove and explain much of the patterns of circle chains that appear in the limit sets of cusp groups.

 Introduction and statement of results
For comparison recall the definition of quasiconformal stability from the theory of Kleinian groups as given by Bers in [2].
As a consequence of this criterion, it follows that Fuchsian groups, Schottky groups, groups of Schottky type and certain non-degenerate B-groups are all quasiconformally stable [3].
Because the image of a Schottky group under a homomorphism close to the identity is again a Schottky group of the same rank, the quasiconformal stability expressed by Theorem 1.1 includes quasiconformal stability in the sense of Bers.

 Klein four-group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2D it is the symmetry group of a rhombus and of a rectangle, the four elements being the identity, the vertical reflection, the horizontal reflection, and a 180 degree rotation.
The three elements of order 2 in the Klein four-group are interchangeable: the automorphism group is the group of permutations of the three elements.
The Klein four-group is the group of components of the group of units of the topological ring of split-complex numbers.

We establish that a quasiconformal group is of compact type if and only if its limits set is purely conical and find that the limit set of a quasiconformal group of compact type is uniformly perfect.

This group gives rise to a locally symmetric space of (in general) infinite volume, a decomposition of the geodesic boundary of this symmetric space into a limit set and a domain of discontinuity, and to a Selberg zeta function.
Motivated by Patterson's conjectural description of the singularities of the Selberg zeta function we are interested in the cohomology of the discrete group with coefficients in these representations.

We examine the internal geometry of a Kleinian surface group and its relations to the asymptotic geometry of its ends, using the combinatorial structure of the complex of curves on the surface.
Our main results give necessary conditions for the Kleinian group to have ‘bounded geometry’ (lower bounds on injectivity radius) in terms of a sequence of coefficients (subsurface projections) computed using the ending invariants of the group and the complex of curves.

 The Modular Group and Fractals
The modular group doesn't just lead to Pellian equations and algebraic numbers, it in fact intertwines all rational numbers (and their extensions to reals and p-adics) in crazy, fractal ways.
This paper provides the core background material for the structure of the Modular Group that is used in the other papers of this series.
The goal here is to establish that these are once again given by the modular group, and that furthermore, these have utility in that they are automorphisms of the unit interval: they are both injective and surjective maps of the unit interval.

The theory holds that the infant's experience in relationship with the mother is the primary determinant of personality formation and that the infant's need for attachment to the mother is the motivating factor in the development of the infantile self.
Although Independent and Kleinian theories are quite distinct from each other, and differ in the ways that each diverges from Sigmund Freud's theory of the mind, they are similar in focusing on the importance of the infant's experience of the mothering relationship.
The Independent group followed Freud's use of the psychosexual stages of development, but disagreed that the inevitable progression of these stages was based on the primacy of the instincts.

Suppose that $A$ and $B$ are two quasi-Fuchsian subgroups of a cocompact Kleinian group and which have intersection $C.$ Then there are subgroups A' and B' of finite index in A and B so that the subgroup generated by A' and B' is the amalgamated free product A' *_C B'.
Thompson's group V is often described as the group of dyadic homeomorphisms of the Cantor set.
Although most geometric group theorists (and low-dimensional topologists) have run across various combinatorial versions of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem for surfaces, fewer are aware of its natural generalization to arbitrary 2-complexes.

 Spaces of Kleinian Groups and Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds
The simplest class of Kleinian groups is the geometrically finite ones for which there is a finite sided fundamental polyhedron; the deformation theory of these groups was worked out by Ahlfors, Bers and Marden and largely understood pre-Thurston.
Another conjecture of Thurston is that a Kleinian group is determined by the geometry of its convex core boundary.

An interesting property of Kleinian groups is that their limit sets have at most two points or are uncountable (a similar property holds for iteration of rational functions on the Riemann sphere).
A Kleinian group whose limit set consists of at most two points is called an elementary group.
For example the group consisting of all Möbius transformations with entries in the Gaussian integers, the Picard group, is discrete, but it does not act properly discontinuously at any point of the Riemann sphere.

More generally, there have been recent breakthroughs in understanding the extent of the analogies between the mapping class group and Kleinian groups, and the connections to Veech surfaces and the geometry of the mapping class group makes this area one of particular intererst for researchers in flows on moduli space and in hyperbolic geometry alike.

Ruelle proved that for quasiconformal deformations of cocompact Fuchsian groups the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set is an analytic function of the deformation.
If $G$ is any Kleinian group we show the dimension of the limit set $\Lambda$ is always equal to either the dimension of the bounded geodesics or the dimension the geodesics which escape to infinity at linear speed.

The new group was viewed as minimising the distinctions between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy,22 and was accused of 'sloppy' teaching by the classical group.23 Those influenced by Alexander were in favour of fewer hours per week for a training analysis.
The new group viewed the old group as intolerant, stultifying and as a threat to academic freedom'.25 The increasing polarisation had virtually led to administrative and institutional paralysis26 and LAPSI was headed for a split.
Unfortunately, rumors were circulated by both groups to the effect that the American Psychoanalytic Association considered the basic problem in the Los Angeles Institute to be the controversy in regard to Freudian and Kleinian points of view; this was not correct.

From my initial scan of his work, I think that Professor Alford’s reading of Klein may be a little eccentric in parts for the British Kleinian; nevertheless it is an impressive conceptual investigation for which Kleinian thought is an unusual, and hitherto underused, instrument.
Alford contends that a Kleinian account might solve problems which the Frankfurt School addressed but could not resolve because of their adherence to Freud’s notion of eros rather than the Kleinian nexus of love-hatred.
The high point of the book is the formulation of a Kleinian group psychology which contrasts the intimacy of private relations with the aggressive-manipulative quality of group life, in a manner reminiscent of Niebuhr’s Moral Man and Immoral Society.
