Abstract

Thurston's boundary to the universal Teichm\"uller space T(H)T(\mathbb{H}) is the set of asymptotic rays to the embedding of T(H)T(\mathbb{H}) in the space of geodesic currents; the boundary is identified with the projective bounded measured laminations PMLbdd(H)PML_{bdd}(\mathbb{H}) of H\mathbb{H}. We prove that each Teichm\"uller geodesic ray in T(H)T(\mathbb{H}) has a unique limit point in Thurston's boundary to T(H)T(\mathbb{H}) unlike in the case of closed surfaces.
