The compactification of Margulis space-times by attaching closed RP 2 -surfaces at infinity (when the groups do not contain parabolics.) The compactified spaces are homeomorphic to solid handlebodies. Finally, we will discuss about the parabolic regions of tame Margulis space-times with parabolic holonomies. There is another contemporary approach by Danciger, Gueritaud and Kassel.

Γ is called a proper affine deformation of L(Γ), and are classified by Goldman, Labourie, and Margulis [7]. The topology of E/Γ is in question here.
10 5/29 Main results Background The tameness L(Γ) is convex cocompact if it has a compact convex hull. That is it does not contain a parabolic. Theorem 1.1 (Goldman-, Danciger-Gueritaud-Kassel) Let R 2,1 /Γ be a Margulis spacetime. Assume Γ has no parabolics. Then R 2,1 /Γ is homeomorphic to a handlebody of genus n.

Theorem 1.1 (Goldman-, Danciger-Gueritaud-Kassel) Let R 2,1 /Γ be a Margulis spacetime. Assume Γ has no parabolics. Then R 2,1 /Γ is homeomorphic to a handlebody of genus n. This follows from [3]: Theorem 1.2 (Goldman- ) Let R 2,1 /Γ be a Margulis spacetime. Assume Γ has no parabolics. Then R 2,1 /Γ can be compactified to a compact RP 3 -manifold with totally geodesic boundary. The boundary is a closed RP 2 -surface.

The image S + of the space of future timelike vectors identifies with the hyperbolic 2-plane H 2, (the Beltrami-Klein model of the hyperbolic plane.) Let S denote the subspace of S corresponding to past timelike vectors. SO(2, 1) o acts faithfully on H 2 = S + as the orientation-preserving isometry group and SO(2, 1) acts so on S + S and acts on S 2 projectively. Let S 0 := S 2 Cl(S +) Cl(S ).

Let v N, v 0, v Rv has two choices of components. Define the null half-plane W (v) (or the wing) associated to v as: W (v) := { } w v Det(v, w, u) > 0 v Rv. where u is chosen arbitrarily in the same Cl(S ±) that v is in. W (v) = W ( v).

We can add finitely many arcs to compactify Σ + := Σ + c 1 c n. Σ + = S + i J b i = Cl(S +) Λ. We define Σ = Σ + A i Σ i J = S 2 x Λ Cl(ε(x)). (2) an open domain in S 2. Theorem 3.1 (Projective Schottky surface) L(Γ) acts properly discontinuously and freely on Σ, and Σ := Σ/L(Γ) is a closed RP 2 -surface. The same is true for A ( Σ).
36 18/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. The proper action of Γ on E Σ Recall the Margulis invariant: µ(g) = B(gx x, v(g)) where v(g) is the unit space-like neutral vector of g v(g) := x + (g) x (g) x + (g) x (g). If Γ acts properly on E, then the Margulis invariants of nonidentity elements are all positive or all negative.

If Γ acts properly on E, then the Margulis invariants of nonidentity elements are all positive or all negative. To obtain the converse, the diffused Margulis invariants are introduced by Goldman, Labourie, and Margulis [7]. We will use their techniques.

If Γ acts properly on E, then the Margulis invariants of nonidentity elements are all positive or all negative. To obtain the converse, the diffused Margulis invariants are introduced by Goldman, Labourie, and Margulis [7]. We will use their techniques. We know that Γ acts properly on E and Σ separately.
39 19/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. Let C(Σ +) be the space of Borel probability measures on UΣ +/Γ invariant under the flow. These are supported on the nonwondering part U recσ +. A continuous function µ : C(Σ +) R extends the Margulis invariants.

A continuous function µ : C(Σ +) R extends the Margulis invariants. Theorem 4.1 (Goldman-Labourie-Margulis) µ has the same sign if and only if Γ acts properly on R 2,1. A consequence of the proof: There exists a continuous section U recσ + U recσ + E/Γ with the compact image.

A continuous function µ : C(Σ +) R extends the Margulis invariants. Theorem 4.1 (Goldman-Labourie-Margulis) µ has the same sign if and only if Γ acts properly on R 2,1. A consequence of the proof: There exists a continuous section U recσ + U recσ + E/Γ with the compact image. Goldman-Labourie found a one to one correspondence {l l is a nonwandering geodesic on Σ +} {l l is a nonwandering spacelike geodesic on E/Γ} A key fact: Closed geodesics on Σ + corresponds to closed geodesic in E/Γ. The set is precompact
42 20/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. The proof of the properness Let K be a compact subset of E Σ. Consider {g Γ g(k ) K }.
43 20/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. The proof of the properness Let K be a compact subset of E Σ. Consider {g Γ g(k ) K }. Suppose that the set is not finite. We find a sequence g i with λ(g i ). Let a i and r i on S + denote the attracting and the repelling fixed points of g i.
44 20/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. The proof of the properness Let K be a compact subset of E Σ. Consider {g Γ g(k ) K }. Suppose that the set is not finite. We find a sequence g i with λ(g i ). Let a i and r i on S + denote the attracting and the repelling fixed points of g i. Since a Fuchsian group is a convergence group: There exists a subsequence g i so that a i a, b i b, a, b S +, λ i. Assume a b. The other case will be done by Margulis trick

46 22/29 Part III. Γ acts properly on E Σ. By the boundedness of nonwandering spacelike geodesics in E/Γ, we find a bounded set h i SL ±(4, R) so that h i g i h 1 i is in the standard form. We choose a subsequence h i h SL ±(4, R) and the stable subspace S i S. Cover K by a finite set of convex ball meeting S and ones disjoint from S. g i (B) a, a for disjoint balls. g i (B ) ε(a) for B meeting S.
47 23/29 Part IV: the compactness Compactness Now we know E Σ/Γ is a manifold. We know Σ is a closed surface. π 1 (Σ) π 1 (M) surjective.

Let g Isom(R 2,1 ) with L(g) parabolic. Suppose that g acts properly on E. Charette-Drumm invariant generalizes the Margulis invariants. (See [2]) Theorem 6.1 (Charette-Drumm) If Γ acts properly on E, {µ gen (g) g Γ} have the same signs. The converse is being proved by Goldman, Labourie, Margulis, Minsky [8].

N = log(u) = (U I) + 1 (U 2 I)2. Lemma 6.2 (Skew-Nilpotent) There exists c KerN such that c is causal, c = N(b), b R 2,1 is space-like and b.b = 1. Using basis {a, b, c} with b = N(a), c = N(b), we obtain a one-parameter family containing U 1 t t 2 /2 µt 3 /6 0 1 t µt 2 /2 Φ(t) : E E = µt
