Skinning maps

Let M be a hyperbolic 3-manifold with nonempty totally geodesic boundary. We prove that there are upper and lower bounds on the diameter of the skinning map of M that depend only on the volume of the hyperbolic structure with totally geodesic boundary, answering a question of Y. Minsky. This is proven via a filling theorem, which states that as one performs higher and higher Dehn fillings, the skinning maps converge uniformly on all of Teichmuller space. We also exhibit manifolds with totally geodesic boundaries whose skinning maps have diameter tending to infinity, as well as manifolds whose skinning maps have diameter tending to zero (the latter are due to K. Bromberg and the author). In the final section, we give a proof of Thurston's Bounded Image Theorem.Comment: 50 pages, 4 figures. v3. Major revision incorporating referees' comments.

When the Flock Ignores the Shepherd-Corralling the Undisclosed Use of Video News Releases

Every time you sit down to watch the evening news, you see not only locally produced stories, but also pre-packaged, corporate-sponsored video news releases ( VNRs ) that are nothing more than commercials in disguise. Unlike political advertising, which must comply with strict sponsorship identification rules, these VNRs remain unregulated. This Note discusses the failed Truth in Advertising Act, and proposes mandatory disclosure and beefed-up enforcement as necessary steps in stemming the growing use of these fake news spot

Microhistory, Biography, Fiction

We live in an extraordinarily rich time for the study of slavery and emancipation. In the last fifty years, literally thousands of books on the history of slavery have been published, many of these appearing in the last decade. One narrative strategy, increasingly embraced by historians of a range of periods and settings, is the biography, telling life stories of particular people in slavery and upon emancipation. Rather than writing about a mass of mostly anonymous individuals and the instit..
