Abstract
We propose a program to study groups acting faithfully on in terms of numbers of pairwise transverse dense invariant laminations. We give some examples of groups that admit a small number of invariant laminations as an introduction to such groups. The main focus of the present paper is to characterize Fuchsian groups in this scheme. We prove a group acting on is conjugate to a Fuchsian group if and only if it admits three very full laminations with a variation on the transversality condition. Some partial results toward a similar characterization of hyperbolic –manifold groups that fiber over the circle have been obtained. This work was motivated by the universal circle theory for tautly foliated –manifolds developed by Thurston, Calegari and Dunfield.
