History
suggested the Bers density conjecture, that singly degenerate Kleinian surface groups are on the boundary of a Bers slice. This was proved by for Kleinian surface groups with no parabolic elements. A more general version of Bers's conjecture due to Sullivan and Thurston in the late 1970s and early 1980s states that every finitely generated Kleinian group is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite Kleinian groups. proved this for freely indecomposable Kleinian groups without parabolic elements. The density conjecture was finally proved using the tameness theorem and the ending lamination theorem by and .References
