We introduce the notion of the visual core of a hyperbolic 3-manifold N and explore its basic properties. The visual core can be thought of as a harmonic analysis analogue of the convex core. We investigate circumstances in which the visual core of a cover N' of N embeds under the covering map from N' to N. We apply th…
