Continuity of the bending map
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 17 (2008) no. 1, pp. 93-119.

The bending map of a hyperbolic 3-manifold maps a convex cocompact hyperbolic metric on a 3-manifold with boundary to its bending measured geodesic lamination. As proved in [KeS] and [KaT], this map is continuous. In the present paper we study the extension of this map to the space of geometrically finite hyperbolic metrics. We introduce a relationship on the space of measured geodesic laminations and show that the quotient map obtained from the bending map is continuous.

L’application de plissage d’une variété hyperbolique de dimension 3 associe à une métrique hyperbolique convexe cocompacte sur une variété compacte à bord sa lamination géodésique mesurée de plissage. Il a été démontré dans [KeS] et [KaT] que cette application est continue. Dans ce texte, on étudie l’extension de cette application à l’espace des métriques hyperboliques géométriquement finies. On introduit une relation d’équivalence dans l’espace des laminations géodésiques mesurées et on montre que l’application quotient de l’application de plissage est continue.
