Abstract

In a previous paper by Deroin-Tholozan, the authors construct a map Ψρ\mathbf{\Psi}_\rho from the Teichm\"uller space of SS to itself and prove that, when MM has sectional curvature 1\leq -1, the image of Ψρ\mathbf{\Psi}_\rho lies (almost always) in the domain Dom(ρ)\mathrm{Dom}(\rho) of Fuchsian representations stricly dominating ρ\rho. Here we prove that Ψρ:Teich(S)Dom(ρ)\mathbf{\Psi}_\rho: \mathrm{Teich}(S) \to \mathrm{Dom}(\rho) is a homeomorphism. As a consequence, we are able to describe the topology of the deformation space of anti-de Sitter structures on closed 3-manifolds.

Added an Appendix proving the continuity of the minimal Lipschitz constant; simplified the statements of the theorem
