Introduction
The following is
our
initial problem.Problem 1.1. Characterize the Ford domains of hyperbolic structures
on
a
3-manifold which has a pair of punctured tori
as
boundary.In this section
we see some
backgroundmaterials
to Problem 1.1.Both knots depicted in Figure 1
are
hyperbolic. Moreover, each is ofgenus
1. In fact, they have (once-)punctured tori depicted in the figureas
Seifert surfaces. One
can
see
that $K_{2}$ is obtained from $K_{1}$ by performinga
Dehn
surgery on
$\alpha$.One major difference between the two knots is that $K_{1}$ is
a
fibered knotwhile $K_{2}$ is not. This
causes a
difference in the proof ofthe Thurston’sHy-perbolization Theorem for Haken
manifolds.
Following it,one can
construct
the complete hyperbolic structure offinite volume
on
the complement of each(a) (b)
$K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ by cutting along essential surfaces in the manifold several times
to obtain
a
finite number of balls, construct hyperbolic structureson
eachcomponent, then deforming and gluing back the structures until one obtains
a
hyperbolic structureon
the original manifold. The argument whichguar-antees that the final gluing is possible is
as
follows. Ifone
cuts the originalmanifold along
a
fiber surfaceas
in thecase
of$K_{1}$, then, by the “double limittheorem”,
one
can
finda
hyperbolic structure which is invariant under thegluing
map. On
the other hand, ifone
cuts the manifold alonga
non-fiber
surface
as
in thecase
of $K_{2}$, thenone
needs to definea
mapon
the space ofgeometrically finite hyperbolic
structures
whose fixed point givesa
structure
which
is invariant
under the gluingmap,
for themap
show the “fixed pointtheorem”
As is explained inSection 5, the Jorgensen theory tells in detail the
combi-natorial structures of the Ford domains ofhyperbolic
structures
on
puncturedtorus
bundles. So,we
expect to understand in detail tlle hyperbolicstruc-tures
on
manifolds with non-fiber surfaces from the combinatorial structuresof Ford domains. Problem 1.1 is the first step to the attempt
to
fill in thebox with “???” in the following table.
In this paper,
we
studya
manifold which is obtained from the productof the punctured torus and the interval by performing Dehn
surgery
alongan
essential simple closedcurve
ina
level-surface. InSection
3,we
willsee some
topological property of sucha
manifold. In Section 6,we
givea
parametrization of the space of geometricallyfinite
minimally parabolichyperbolic structures on the manifold. Finally, in Section 7, we obtain
some
numerical results.

Ford domain
Throughout the paper,
we
use
the upper halfspace model for the hyperbolic3-space $\mathbb{H}^{3}$
.
We shall identifythe boundary plane of the upper half space
with the complex plane C.
Definition 2.1. For
an
element of $FSL(2, \mathbb{C}),$ $\gamma=$ , which does notFigure 2: Ford domain of
a
cyclic Kleiniangroup
$\bullet$ The isometric circle of7, denoted by $I(\gamma)$, is the circle in the complex
plane with $\mathrm{c}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{l}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}-d/c$ and radius $1/|c|$. The exterior of$I(\gamma)$ isdenoted
by $E(\gamma)$.
$\bullet$
The
isometric hemisphere of$\gamma$,
denoted
by $Ih(\gamma)$,
isthe hemisphere
inthe
upper
halfspace
centered ata
point in $\mathbb{C}$ with equator $I(\gamma)$.
Theexterior of $Ih(\gamma)$ is denoted by $Eh(\gamma)$.
Definition 2.2. For
a
Kleiniangroup
$\Gamma$, let $\Gamma_{\infty}$ be the stabilizer of $\infty$ in F.The Ford domain of $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb{C}$ (resp. $\mathbb{H}^{3}$), denoted by $P(\Gamma)$ (resp. $Ph(\Gamma)$), is
defined by
$P( \Gamma)=\bigcap_{\gamma\in\Gamma-\mathrm{r}_{\infty}}E(\gamma)$, $Ph( \Gamma)=\bigcap_{\gamma\in\Gamma-\mathrm{r}_{\infty}}Eh(\gamma)$.
Remark 2.3. The Ford domain $P(\Gamma)$ (resp. $Ph(\Gamma)$) is
not
a
fundamental
do-main for the action of$\Gamma$
on
$\Omega(\Gamma)$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$), whenever $\Gamma_{\infty}$ is nontrivial, where$\Omega(\Gamma)$ is the “domain of discontinuity” of $\Gamma$
on
which $\Gamma$ acts discontinuously.Even in the case, the intersection of the Ford domain and a
fundamental
domain for $\Gamma_{\infty}$ is actually
a
fundamental domain for $\Gamma$.
Example 2.4. The Ford domain $Ph(\langle\gamma\rangle)$ of the cyclic Kleinian
group
$\langle\gamma\rangle$,generated by
a
loxodromic element $\gamma\in PSL(2, \mathbb{C})$ which does not stabilize$\infty$, is
as
depicted in Figure 2. Every“face”
of $Ph(\Gamma)$ is supported byan
isometric hemisphere; there
are
8 faces in this example. The characterizationof
combinatorial structures
of the Ford domains of cyclic Kleiniangroups
isgiven by Jorgensen [7] (cf. [5]).
Example 2.5. The image $\Gamma$ of the holonomy representation of
a
completeFigure 3: Ford domain of a fuchsian punctured torus group
The fuchsian
group
is also regardedas
a
Kleiniangroup
ina
natural way,and the Ford domain $Ph(\Gamma)$ is
as
depicted in Figure 3. In this situation,the vertical plane lying
on
the real axis of $\mathbb{C}$ is naturally identified with thehyperbolic plane
on
which the fuchsiangroup
$\Gamma$acts.
Then the intersectionof $\Gamma$
and the
plane is equalto
the“Ford
$\mathrm{d}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}^{\}}$’ of thefuchsian
group.

Manifolds with
a
pair of
punctured
tori
as
boundary
We denote the one-holed torus by $T_{0}$
.
Let$\gamma$ be
an
essential simple closedcurve on
the level surface $T_{0}\cross\{0\}$ ofthe product manifold $T_{0}\cross[-1,1]$, anddenote by $M_{0}$ the exterior of$\gamma$, i.e., $M_{0}=T_{0}\cross[-1,1]$ -Int$N(\gamma)$, where $N(\gamma)$
is
a
regular neighborhood of$\gamma$.
For each sign $\epsilon=\pm$,
we
denote the one-holedtorus $T_{0}\cross\{\epsilon 1\}\subset\partial M_{0}$ by $T_{0}^{\epsilon}$. We define the slopes ($=\mathrm{f}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{e}$ homotopy classes)
$\mu$ and Ain $\partial N(\gamma)$
as
follows. $\mu$ is the meridianslope of$\gamma$, i.e., $\mu$is representedby
an
essential simple closedcurve
which boundsa
disk in $N(\gamma)$, and A isthe slope represented by the intersection of$\partial N(\gamma)$ and the
annulus
$\gamma\cross[0,1]$.
Then $\{\mu, \lambda\}$ generates $H_{1}(\partial N(\gamma))$.
For
a
pair of coprime integers $(p, q)$, let $M(p, q)$ be the result of Dehnfilling
on
$M_{0}$ with slope $p\mu+q\lambda$, i.e., the manifold obtained from $M_{0}$ bygluing the solid torus $V$ by
an
orientation-reversing homeomorphism $\partial Varrow$$\partial N(\gamma)\subset\partial M_{0}$
so
that the meridian of $V$ is identified witha
simple closedcurve
on
$\partial N(\gamma)$ of slope $p\mu+q\lambda$. We regard $M_{0}$as
a submanifold
of $M(p, q)$by using
the canonical
embedding.Proposition 3.1. For
any
pairof
coprime integers $(p, q)_{j}M(p, q)$ isSet $P=\partial T\cross[-1,1]$
.
In contrast to Proposition $3_{\perp}^{\rceil}.$,we
should be carefulabout the manifold pair $(M(p, q),$ $P)$.
Proposition 3.2. The
surfaces
$T_{0}^{\pm}$ is incompressible in $M(p, q)$if
and onlyif
$(p, q)\neq(0, \pm 1)$. In this case, itfollows
that $(M(p, q),$ $P)$ is an atoroidalHaken pared
manifold
(in thesense
of
[9]).By the Thurston’s Hyperbolization Theorem for Haken pared manifolds
(cf. [9, Theorem 1.43]),
we
obtain the following corollary.Corollary 3.3. For any pair
of
coprime integers $(p, q)\neq(0, \pm 1),$ $M(p, q)$admits
a
complete geometricallyfinite
hyperbolicstructure with
the paraboliclocus $P$
.
We may choose simple closed
curves
$\alpha$ and $\beta$ in the level surface $T_{0}\cross\{0\}$which intersect at
a
single point such that $\alpha$ is parallel to $\gamma$.
Let$\alpha^{\pm}$ and $\beta^{\pm}$
be the
simpleclosed
curves
in $T_{0}^{\pm}$which
are
parallel
to
or
and
$\beta$ respectively.Then $\alpha^{\epsilon}$ and $\beta^{\epsilon}$ freely generate $\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{\epsilon})$ for each $\epsilon=\pm$
.
Let $\kappa^{\epsilon}=[\alpha^{\epsilon}, \beta^{\epsilon}]$$(\epsilon=\pm)$ be the commutator of$\alpha^{\epsilon}$ axld $\beta^{\epsilon}$, which is represented by
a
peripheralloop of $T_{0}^{\epsilon}$
.
Then, by thevam
Kampen’s theorem, $\pi_{1}(M_{0})$ is canonicallyisomorphic to the free product of the two free groups $\langle\alpha^{-}, \beta^{-}\rangle$ and $\langle\alpha^{+}, \beta^{+}\rangle$
with the subgroups $\langle\alpha^{-}, \kappa^{-}\rangle$ and $\langle\alpha^{+}, \kappa^{+}\rangle$ amalgamated under the mapping
$(\alpha^{-}, \kappa^{-})-*(\alpha^{+}, \kappa^{+})$. Then the following lemma is immediate.
$phictothegroupwithpresentati.on(A,B^{-},$$B^{+}|[A,B^{-}]=[A, B^{+}]\rangle(resp\mathrm{L}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}3.4.ThefundamentalqroupofM_{0}(resp.M(p,q))isisomor-$. $\langle A, B^{-}, B^{+}|[A, B^{-}]=[\mathrm{A}, B^{+}], \{(B^{+})^{-1}B^{-}\}^{p}A^{q}=1\rangle)$ by the
map
whichsends
the
quadruple $(\alpha^{-}, \alpha^{+}, \beta^{-}, \beta^{+})$to
$(A, A, B^{-}, B^{+})$.
In particular, thereis a canonical surjection $\Phi$ : $\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{-})*\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{+})arrow\pi_{1}(M(p, q))$ whose restrection
to each $\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{\pm})$ is injective whenever $(p, q)\neq(0, \pm 1)$
.
By Lemma 3.4, the image ofthe holonomy representation of
a
hyperbolicstructure
on
$M(p, q)$ isan
amalgamated free product oftwo “punctured torusgroups” In $\mathrm{t}\mathrm{I}$
)$\mathrm{e}$ following section,
we
givea
brief reviewon
suchgroups.

Punctured torus
groups
Definition 4.1. Let $\rho_{0}$
:
$\pi_{1}(T)arrow PSL(2, \mathbb{R})\subset PSL(2, \mathbb{C})$ be the holonomyrepresentation of
a
complete hyperbolic structureon
the punctured torusof
finite
area.
$\bullet$ A representation $\rho:\pi_{1}(T)arrow PSL(2, \mathbb{C})$ is
a
quasiconformaldeforma-tion of $\rho_{0}$ if there is
a
quasiconformal homeomorphism$w:\hat{\mathbb{C}}arrow\hat{\mathbb{C}}$ such
$\bullet$ The quasifuchsian space $QF$ of the punctured
torus
is thespace
ofconjugacy classes of quasiconformal deformations of$\rho_{0}$. We regard $QF$
as a
subspace of $\mathrm{t}l1\mathrm{e}$ space $\mathcal{R}$ of $PSL(2, \mathbb{C})$-representations of $\pi_{1}(T)$.$\bullet$ We denote the closure of $Q\mathcal{F}$ in
$\mathcal{R}$ by $\overline{QF}$.
Proposition 4.2. Let $\rho$ be
an
arbitrary elementof
$\overline{QF}$
.
Then the quotientmanifold
$\mathbb{H}^{3}/{\rm Im}\rho$ is homeomorphic to the product space $T\cross(-1,1)$.
Thedomain
of
discontinuityof
the Kleinian group ${\rm Im} p$ is the disjoint unionof
two $({\rm Im}\rho)$-invariant subsets $\Omega^{\pm}$ which correspond to the “ends“ $e^{-}=T\cross$
$(-1, -1+\delta)$ and $e^{+}=T\cross(1-\delta, 1)$
of
$T\cross(-1,1)$ respectively, and each $\Omega^{\epsilon}$$(\epsilon=\pm)$
satisfies
one
of
the following conditions.(i) $\Omega^{\epsilon}$ is homeomorphic to the open disk, and $\Omega^{\epsilon}/{\rm Im}\rho$ is homeomorphic to
$T$
.
(ii) $\Omega^{\epsilon}i\mathit{8}$
the countable
unionof
open
disks,and
$\Omega^{\epsilon}/{\rm Im}\rho$ is homeomorphicto the thrice-punctured sphere.
(iii) $\Omega^{\epsilon}$ is empty.
Definition 4.3. The end satisfying
one
of theconditions
(i) and (ii)of
Propo-sition 4.2 is said to be geometrically finite, and
one
satisfyingthe
condition(iii) is said to be geometrically
infinite.
Definition 4.4. For every $\rho\in\overline{QF}$, the end invariant $\lambda^{\epsilon}(\rho)$ of each end
$e^{\epsilon}$ of $\mathbb{H}^{3}/{\rm Im}\rho$ is defined to be
a
point of the Thurston compactification,canonically identified with $\overline{\mathbb{P}}$
, of the Teichm\"uller
space of
$T$as
follows. Let$\Omega^{\epsilon}$
be
the
subset of the domain of discontinuity of ${\rm Im}\rho$ correspondingto
theend $e^{\epsilon}$
.
(i) If $\Omega^{\epsilon}$ is homeomorphic to the open disk, then $\lambda^{\epsilon}(\rho)\in \mathbb{H}^{2}$ is the marked
conformal
structure
on
$T$ defined by $\Omega^{\epsilon}/{\rm Im}\rho$.
(ii) If $\Omega^{\epsilon}$ is the countable union of open disks, then $\lambda^{\epsilon}(\rho)\in\partial \mathbb{H}^{\mathit{2}}$ is the
marked conformal structure
on
$T$ with nodes defined by $\Omega^{\epsilon}/{\rm Im}\rho$.(iii) If $\Omega^{\epsilon}$ is empty, then there is
a
sequence of
closed geodesics in $\mathbb{H}^{3}/{\rm Im} p$which exits the end $e^{\epsilon}$. $\lambda^{\epsilon}(\rho)\in\partial \mathbb{H}^{2}$
is
defined to
be the limit of thesequence.
Theorem 4.5 (Minsky [11]). The end invariant map A $=(\lambda^{-}, \lambda^{+})$ :
$\overline{QF}arrow\overline{\mathbb{P}}\cross\overline{\mathbb{P}}-\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{g}(\partial \mathbb{P})$ is
a
bijectionand
its $inver\mathit{8}e$ isa
continuousFigure 4: Ford domain of
a
generic quasifuchsian punctured torusgroup
Remark 4.6. A punctured torus group is a Kleinian group which is freely
generated by two elements with parabolic
commutator.
In fact, Theorem4.5
is true for the set of all punctured torusgroups
(Solution of the EndingLamination Conjecture for punctured torus). In particular it is proved that
the set of all (marked) punctured torus
groups
is equal to $\overline{QF}$.Example 4.7. The Ford domain of
a
generic quasifuchsian punctured torusgroup looks like Figure 4. Its
combinatorial
structure is described byus-ing the “side parameter” defined in Definition 5.2. The
upper
and lowerboundary components in the right figure define two spines of $T$. By
follow-ing $\partial Ph(\rho)$ from the lower component to the upper,
one
finds thesequence
of Whitehead
moves
connecting the two spines (cf. [3]).Fix
a
framing $\{\alpha, \beta\}\subset H_{1}(T)$ anda
peripheral element $K$ of $\pi_{1}(T)$.
Definition 4.8. We call
a
pairofelements, $(\mathrm{A}, B)$, of$\pi_{1}(T)$a
generator pairif $A$ and $B$ generates $\pi_{1}(T)$ and satisfies $\mathrm{A}BA^{-1}B^{-1}=K$. For such
a
pair,$A$ (resp. $B$) is called
a
left
(resp. right) generator,or
simplya
generator.Remark 4.9. The situation may be
more
clear ifwe
introduce the notionof elliptic generator triple, for which
we
need to extend thegroup
$\pi_{1}(T)$ tothe fundamental
group
of theorbifold
obtainedas
the quotientspace of
$T$by
the
hyperellipticinvolution
(cf. [3]).One can
see
that every generator in the abovesense
hasa
simple closedcurve
in $T$as
a
representative.Definition 4.10. For each generator $X$ which represents
an
element $p\alpha+$Definition 4.11. The Farey triangulation of $\mathbb{P}$ is an ideal triangulation
consisting of the ideal triangles $\{\gamma\sigma_{0}|\gamma\in PSL(2, \mathbb{Z})\}$, where $\sigma_{0}$ is the ideal
triangle with vertices $\infty,$$0,1\in\partial \mathbb{P}$.
Lemma 4.12. The following holds.
1. For any generatorpair $(A, B)$, the slopes
of
$\mathrm{A},$AB
and$B$ spanan
idealtriangle in the Farey triangulation.
2. For any ideal edge (resp. ideal triangle) $\sigma$ in the Farey $triangulation_{J}$
there is
a
generator pair $(A, B)$ such that the slopesof
$A$ and $B$ (resp.$A,$ AB and $B$) span $\sigma$.
The space of type-preserving representations is parametrized
as
follows(cf. [3]).
Definition 4.13. Let $\mathcal{R}_{0}$
be
thespace
of type-preservingirreducible
repre-sentations of$\pi_{1}(T)$ to $SL(2, \mathbb{C})$ up to conjugation, and
set
$\mathcal{M}=\{(x, y, z)\in$$\mathbb{C}^{3}|x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}=xyz\}-\{(0,0,0)\}$
.
Fixa
generator pair $(A_{0}, B_{0})$and let
$\Psi$ : $\mathcal{R}_{0}arrow \mathbb{C}^{3}$ be the map which sends $[\rho]$ to (Tr$\rho(A_{0}),$$\mathrm{h}(A_{0}B_{0}),$ $\mathrm{b}(B_{0})$).Proposition 4.14. The image
of
$\Psi$ is equal to $\mathcal{M}$, and it isa
homeomor-phism onto the image.
Definition 4.15. An element of $\mathcal{M}$ is called
a
Markoff
triple.5
Jorgensen theory
In this section,
we
briefly review the work of Jorgensen [8]on
thechar-acterization
ofcombinatorial structures
of puncturedtorus groups.
(See[3] for
a
complete proof of Jorgensen’s results for quasifuchsian puncturedtorus
groups.) In what follows, for any $\rho\in\overline{Q\mathcal{F}}$,we
denote $P({\rm Im} p)$ (resp.$Ph({\rm Im}\rho))$ by $P(\rho)$ (resp. $Ph(\rho)$) for simplicity.
Theorem 5.1. For any $\rho\in Q\mathcal{F}$, $P(p)\subset \mathbb{C}$ consists
of
precisely twocon-nected components$P^{\pm}(\rho)$, where $P^{-}(p)$ (resp. $P^{+}(\rho)$) is the component which
is lower (resp. higher)
than
theother
inC.
Foreach
$\epsilon\in$ $\{-,$ $+\}$,there
isa
sequence
$\{A_{j}^{\epsilon}\}$of
generatorsof
$\pi_{1}(T)$ such that$\partial P^{\epsilon}(\rho)$ is the unionof
circularedges $e_{j}^{\epsilon}(j\in \mathbb{Z})$ with the following property.
(i) For any $j,$ $k\in \mathbb{Z}_{f}$ it
follows
that $s(\mathrm{A}_{j+3k}^{\epsilon})=s(A_{j}^{\epsilon})_{Z}$ and the three slopes$s\cdot(A_{0}^{\epsilon}),$ $s(A_{1}^{\epsilon}),$ $s(A_{2}^{\epsilon})$ span
a
triangle $\sigma^{\epsilon}$of
$D$.(iii)
If
we denote by $\theta_{j}^{\epsilon}$ thehalf
of
the angleof
$e_{j}^{\epsilon}$ in $I(p(A_{j}^{\epsilon}))_{f}$ then
$\theta_{0}^{\epsilon}+\theta_{1}^{\epsilon}+\theta_{2}^{\epsilon}=\tau\}/2$.
Definition 5.2 (side parameter). For any $p\in QF$,
we
define the twopoints $l\text{ノ^{}\pm}(\rho)$ in $\ovalbox{\tt\small REJECT}$
as
follows. For each $\epsilon\in$ $\{-,$ $+\}$, let $\sigma^{\epsilon}$be
the trianglein $D$
determined
by Theorem5.1.
Then $\nu^{\epsilon}(p)$ is the point in the triangle$\sigma^{\epsilon}$
with barycentric coordinate $(\theta_{0}^{\epsilon}, \theta_{1}^{\epsilon}, \theta_{2}^{\epsilon})$. The point $\nu(\rho)=(\nu^{-}(p), \nu^{+}(\rho))\in$ $\ovalbox{\tt\small REJECT}\cross \mathbb{H}^{2}$ is called the side parameter of $\rho$
.
Theorem 5.3. (1) For any $p\in QF$, the
combinatorial
structure
of
$Ph(\rho)$is
described
by using $\nu(\rho)$.(2) The
map
$\nu$ : $QFarrow \mathbb{P}\cross \mathbb{H}^{2}$ isa
homeomorphism.The
followingtheorem gives
an
extension
of the side parameter to
$\overline{QF}$.
(See [1] for
an
outline.)Theorem
5.4.
The map $\nu$ : $QFarrow \mathbb{P}\cross \mathbb{P}$ isextended
toa
map $\nu=$$(\nu^{-}, \nu^{+})$ : $\overline{Q\mathcal{F}}arrow\overline{\mathbb{H}^{2}}\cross\overline{\mathbb{P}}-\mathrm{d}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{g}(\partial \mathbb{P})$ with the following property.
(1) For any $\rho\in\overline{Q\mathcal{F}}$, the
combinatorial
structureof
$Ph(\rho)$ isdescribed
byusing $\nu(p)$.
(2) The map $\nu$ is surjective, and it is continuous in the strong topology on
$\overline{QF}$
.
(3) For
each
$\epsilon=\pm_{f}\nu^{\epsilon}(p)\in\partial \mathbb{H}^{2}$if
and
onlyif
$\lambda^{\epsilon}(p)\in\partial \mathbb{H}^{\mathit{2}}$.
Moreover,under the mutually equivalent conditions, it
follows
that $\nu^{\epsilon}(\rho)=\lambda^{\epsilon}(\rho)$.Since the
fundamental
group
ofa punctured
torus bundle contains thefundamental group
of the fiber surfaceas
a
normal subgroup,we
obtain thefollowing corollary,
which
is first proved by Lackenby [10] witha
topological
argument.
Corollary
5.5.
For any hyperbolic punctured torusbundle
over
the circle,the Ford domain
of
the imageof
the holonomy representationof
the completehyperbolic
structure
isdual
to the “Jorgensen$r_{S}$triangulation“
(cf. [6]).6
Deformation
space for
$M(p, q)$Fix
a
pairof coprime integers $(p, q)\neq(\mathrm{O}, \pm 1)$, and set $M=M(p, q)$.
Weshall
pared manifold $(M, P)$ with the parabolic locus $P$. Then, by Corollary 3.3,
$\mathcal{M}P$ is not empty, and hence is isomorphic to the
square
of the $\mathrm{T}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{h}\mathrm{m}\dot{\acute{\mathrm{u}}}1\mathrm{l}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}$space Teich$(T)\cross \mathrm{T}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{c}\mathrm{h}(T)$ by the Marden’s isomorphism theorem.
By using
a
presentation of$\pi_{1}(M)$,we can
embedMr
intoan
affine space.Definition 6.1. Let $\mathcal{E}$ : $\mathcal{M}Parrow \mathcal{R}_{0}\cross \mathcal{R}_{0}$ be the
map
definedas
follows. Forany element
of $\mathcal{M}\mathcal{P}$, let $p’.\pi_{1}(M)arrow SL(2, \mathbb{C})$ be (a lift of) the holonomyrepresentation. Then its imageby $\mathcal{E}$ is
defined
to be$(p|_{\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{-})}, p|_{\pi_{1}(T_{0}^{+})})$. (Since $\mathcal{M}P$ is connected, it is
well-defined
byfixing
a
base-point anda
lift at thepoint.)
Let $\hat{\Psi}=\Psi^{-}\cross\Psi^{+}:$ $\mathcal{R}_{0}\cross \mathcal{R}_{0}arrow \mathcal{M}\cross \mathcal{M}$ be the product
map, where
each$\Psi^{\epsilon}(\epsilon=\pm)$ is defined from the generator pair $(\alpha^{\epsilon}, \beta^{\epsilon})$. By Lemma
3.4
andthe Covering Theorem (cf. [4]),
we
obtain the following proposition.Proposition
6.2.
The imageof
$\mathcal{E}$ is contained in$(QF\cross Q\mathcal{F})\cap\hat{\Psi}^{-1}(\{((x^{-}, y^{-}, z^{-}), (x^{+}, y^{+}, z^{+}))|x^{-}=x^{+}\})$.
Remark 6.3.
One
obtains another polynomial equation in $\mathcal{M}\cross \mathcal{M}$ for$\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{M}P)$
from
the relation coming from the Dehn filling.7
Ford
domains
for
structures
in
$\mathcal{M}7\mathit{2}$To
answer
Problem 1.1 for the pared manifold $(M, P)$ witha
coprime integers$(p, q)\neq(\mathrm{O}, \pm 1)$
,
we
willfollow the following
program.
(1)
Construct
a
geometrically finite hyperbolic structureon
the paredman-ifold $(M_{0}, P\cup\partial N(\gamma))$ with the parabolic locus $P\cup\partial N(\gamma)$
.
(2) Construct
a
geometrically finite hyperbolic structure in $\partial \mathcal{M}P$ byhyper-bolic Dehn
surgery
on
the structure obtained in (1).(3) By using the “geometric continuity” argument, which is used in the
Jor-gensen
theory, characterize the combinatorialstructures ofFord domainsof the structures
in $\mathcal{M}P$.
Step (1) in the
program
is already done (see Figure 5),which
isobtained
from Jorgensen’s characterization; just take the “double” of the Ford domain
of
a
double cuspgroup.
Step (2) is done by studying the Ford domains
after
hyperbolic DehnFigure 5: Ford domain of a structure on $(\Lambda I_{0}, P\cup\partial \mathit{1}\mathrm{V}(\gamma^{f}))$
Figure 7: Ford domain corresponding to the ccfixed point” in $\mathcal{M}P$
$(p, q)=(3,5)$. It is roughly the combination of the Ford domain obtained by
Step (1) and the Ford domain of
some
cyclic Kleiniangroup
(see Figure 2).Let $\mathcal{M}P_{\mathrm{s}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{n}1}$ be the subspace of $/\vee tP$ consisting of the structures whose
image by $\hat{\Psi}\mathrm{c}\mathcal{E}$
is of the form $((x, y, z), (x’, z, y))$. For
a
gluing map $T_{0}^{-}arrow T_{0}^{+}$with certain ((
$\mathrm{s}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{m}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{t}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{y}^{)}’$, the invariant hyperbolic structure is contained in
$\mathcal{M}P_{\mathrm{s}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{n}}$. The parameters of
some
of such structures are explicitlydetermined.Figure 7 is the Ford domain of such
a
structure in $\mathcal{M}P_{\mathrm{s}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{m}}$ for $(p, q)=(35)\rangle$.Conjecture 7.1. (1) An analogue
of
Jorgensen’s theory is validfor
$\mathcal{M}P_{\mathrm{s}\mathrm{y}\mathrm{m}}$.(2) For any $(p, q)\neq(0, \pm 1)$ and any “symmetric” pseudo-Anosov
homeo-morphism $\varphi$ : $T_{0}^{-}arrow T_{0\prime}^{+}$ the Ford domain
of
the complete hyperbolicstructure on $M/\varphi$ has a “good“ combinatorial structure. (This should be
a
corollary to the assertion (1).)References
