Thurston's conjecture on convex hyperbolic metrics with prescribed boundary metric
Thurston's conjecture on convex hyperbolic metrics with prescribed boundary metric
Let be a 3-dimensional manifold with boundary which admits a complete, convex co-compact metric. For a smooth metric on with curvature , the boundary metric is prescribed as follows: the hyperbolic metric on must induce on .
Thurston's conjecture. There is a unique hyperbolic metric on which induces on the boundary, and for which the boundary is convex.
This conjecture generalizes the boundary-value problem for hyperbolic metrics on the 3-dimensional ball to other 3-manifolds with boundary. The supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
