Abstract

Given a closed hyperbolic 3–manifold M with a quasigeodesic flow, we construct a π1 –equivariant sphere-filling curve in the boundary of hyperbolic space. Specifically, we show that any complete transversal P to the lifted flow on ℍ3 has a natural compactification to a closed disc that inherits a π1 –action. The embedding P→ℍ3 extends continuously to the compactification, and restricts to a surjective π1 –equivariant map ∂P→∂ℍ3 on the boundary. This generalizes the Cannon–Thurston theorem, which produces such group-invariant space-filling curves for fibered hyperbolic 3–manifolds.
