Event description: 

We will discuss the following result. For every geometrically finite Kleinian group Γ < SL2(ℂ) there is εΓ such that for every g ∈ SL2(ℂ) the intersection  gΓg-1 ∩ SL2(ℝ) is either a lattice or a has critical exponent δ(gΓg-1 ∩ SL2(ℝ)) ≤ 1-εΓ. 

This result extends Margulis-Mohammadi and Bader-Fisher-Milier-Strover. 

We will discuss some ideas of the proof. We will focus on the applications of a new ergodic component, of preservation of entropy in a direction.
