Abstract/Media

A complex projective structure is a geometric structure on a surface modeled on the Riemann sphere. Then a complex projective structure has a holonomy representation from the fundamental group of the surface into PSL(2, C), which is not necessarily discrete.



We discuss about ``neck-pinching'’ type degeneration of complex projective structures when their holonomy representations converge in the character variety.
