Abstract

In this section we consider complex projective structures on Riemann surfaces. These structures provide a generalization of Kleinian groups, and they will be useful in our discussion of the geometric convergence in section 8.17. Here we will give only a general introduction to the theory of complex projective structures. For details and recent developments, see [Hej75], [KT92], [Ka95b], [GKMar], [Gol87b], [Tan97a], [Tan97b], [McM98].
