Geometry and dynamics of Kleinian groups: Kleinian groups are discrete subgroups of the Isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space. Their limit sets are the points of accumulation of orbits on the ideal boundary. The most representative examples are surface Kleinian groups, i.e., discrete faithful representations of $\pi_1(S)$ into $PSL_2(C)$. We shall describe a rigidity result (due to Minsky et al) and a result due to the author that says that limit sets are $\pi_1(S)$-equivariant quotients of the circle.
