Pinching surface groups in complex hyperbolic plane
We construct first examples of discrete geometrically finite subgroups of PU(2, 1) which contain parabolic elements, and are isomorphic to surface groups of genus ≥ 2.
متن کاملGroups Quasi-isometric to Complex Hyperbolic Space
We show that any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to complex hyperbolic space is a finite extension of a properly discontinuous, cocompact subgroup of the isometry group.
متن کاملDirichlet Polyhedra for Cyclic Groups in Complex Hyperbolic Space
We prove that the Dirichlet fundamental polyhedron for a cyclic group generated by a unipotent or hyperbolic element y acting on complex hyperbolic «-space centered at an arbitrary point w is bounded by the two hypersurfaces equidistant from the pairs w, yw and w,y~lw respectively. The proof relies on a convexity property of the distance to an isometric flow containing y.
متن کاملHyperbolic Geometry: Isometry Groups of Hyperbolic Space
The goal of this paper is twofold. First, it consists of an introduction to the basic features of hyperbolic geometry, and the geometry of an important class of functions of the hyperbolic plane, isometries. Second, it identifies a group structure in the set of isometries, specifically those that preserve orientation, and deals with the topological properties of their discrete subgroups. In the...
متن کاملLocal rigidity of discrete groups acting on complex hyperbolic space
The superrigidity theorem of Margulis, see Zimmer [17], classifies finite dimensional representations of lattices in semi-simple Lie groups of real rank strictly larger than 1. It is a fundamental problem to obtain the classification of finite dimensional representations of lattices in rank I semi-simple Lie groups. That this problem will be considerably harder than the previous one is suggeste...
