Analytic continuation of holonomy germs of Riccati foliations along Brownian paths
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 April 2016
Abstract
Consider a Riccati foliation whose monodromy representation is non-elementary and parabolic and consider a non-invariant section of the fibration whose associated developing map is onto. We prove that any holonomy germ from any non-invariant fibre to the section can be analytically continued along a generic Brownian path. To prove this theorem, we prove a dual result about complex projective structures. Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}$ be a hyperbolic Riemann surface of finite type endowed with a branched complex projective structure: such a structure gives rise to a non-constant holomorphic map ${\mathcal{D}}:\tilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{1}$, from the universal cover of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}$ to the Riemann sphere $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{1}$, which is $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$-equivariant for a morphism $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}:\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4})\rightarrow \mathit{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$. The dual result is the following. If the monodromy representation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$ is parabolic and non-elementary and if ${\mathcal{D}}$ is onto, then, for almost every Brownian path $\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}$ in $\tilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4}}$, ${\mathcal{D}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}(t))$ does not have limit when $t$ goes to $\infty$. If, moreover, the projective structure is of parabolic type, we also prove that, although ${\mathcal{D}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}(t))$ does not converge, it converges in the Cesàro sense.
