Abstract/Media

It is well known, thanks to work of Mane-Sad-Sullivan  that for a parametrized family of quasifuchsian groups (or equivalently convex cocompact discrete surface subgroups of PSl(2,C)) the limit set moves holomorphically on the Riemann sphere. We shall discuss what happens when a sequence of such groups converges to a non-quasifuchsian group. A discontinuity phenomenon was discovered in joint work with Caroline Series. In further work with Ken'ichi Ohshika, we characterize when precisely these discontinuities arise.
