Finite Volume Properly Convex Deformations of the Figure-eight Knot

Geometric Topology 2016-03-22 v3

Abstract

In this paper we show that some open set of the representations of the fundamental group of figure-eight knot complement found in \cite{Ballas12a} are the holonomies of a family of finite volume properly convex projective structures on the figure-eight knot complement.
