Extract

In this paper I shall define a deformation of hyperbolic structures on n-manifolds, called ‘bending’, by constructing a family of quasiconformal homeomorphisms of hyperbolic (n+ l)-space. The deformation can be applied to manifolds which contain totally geodesic submanifolds of codimension 1.
