On a stratification of the space of (projective) measured laminations

Geometric Topology 2019-11-01 v1

Abstract

We introduce a natural stratification of the space of projective classes of measured laminations on a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove a rigidity result, namely, the group of self-homeomorphisms of the space of projective measured laminations that preserve such a stratification is in general identified with the extended mapping class group of the corresponding surface. We use this approach to fill a gap in the proof of the rigidity of the action of the extended mapping class group on the unmeasured laminations space.
