These notes are a biased guide to some recent developments in the deformation theory of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and Kleinian groups. This field has its roots in the work of Poincaré and Klein, and connects to topology via Thurston’s geometrization program, to analysis via the Ahlfors-Bers quasiconformal theory, and to complex dynamics via the work of Thurston, Sullivan and others. It encompasses many techniques and ideas and may be too big a subject for a single account. We will focus on the geometric study of ends of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and boundaries of deformation spaces, and in particular on the techniques that led to the recent solution by Brock, Canary and the author [82, 23] of the incompressible-boundary case of Thurston’s “Ending Lamination Conjecture”. The space of hyperbolic structures on a fixed 3-manifold M is studied by considering representations of π1(M) into the isometry group of hyperbolic 3-space H, up to a natural equivalence by conjugation. In this space, called the character
