### Exotic projective structures and quasi-Fuchsian space, II

Kentaro Ito

#### Abstract

Let $P(S)$ be the space of projective structures on a closed surface $S$ of genus $g >1$, and let $Q(S)$ be the subset of $P(S)$ of projective structures with quasi-Fuchsian holonomy. It is known that $Q(S)$ consists of infinitely many connected components. In this article, we show that the closure of any exotic component of $Q(S)$ is not a topological manifold with boundary and that any two components of $Q(S)$ have intersecting closures
