چکیده
We prove that the rank problem is decidable in the class of torsion-free wordhyperbolic Kleinian groups. We also show that every group in this class has only finitely many Nielsen equivalence classes of generating sets of a given cardinality. AMS Classification numbers Primary: 20F67, 57M60

A new indexed approach to render the attractors of Kleinian groups
One widespread procedure to render the attractor of Kleinian groups, appearing in the renown book [8], wantshuge memory resources to compute and store the results. We present a new faster and lighter version that drops the original array and pulls out group elements from integers.
متن کاملGroup Algebras of Kleinian Type and Groups of Units
The algebras of Kleinian type are finite dimensional semisimple rational algebras A such that the group of units of an order in A is commensurable with a direct product of Kleinian groups. We classify the Schur algebras of Kleinian type and the group algebras of Kleinian type. As an application, we characterize the group rings RG, with R an order in a number field and G a finite group, such tha...
متن کاملJørgensen Number and Arithmeticity
The Jørgensen number of a rank-two non-elementary Kleinian group Γ is J(Γ) = inf{|trX − 4|+ |tr[X,Y ]− 2| : 〈X,Y 〉 = Γ}. Jørgensen’s Inequality guarantees J(Γ) ≥ 1, and Γ is a Jørgensen group if J(Γ) = 1. This paper shows that the only torsion-free Jørgensen group is the figure-eight knot group, identifies all non-cocompact arithmetic Jørgensen groups, and establishes a characterization of coco...
متن کاملGeometry and Dynamics of Discrete Isometry Groups of Higher Rank Symmetric Spaces
For real hyperbolic spaces, the dynamics of individual isometries and the geometry of the limit set of nonelementary discrete isometry groups have been studied in great detail. Most of the results were generalised to discrete isometry groups of simply connected Riemannian manifolds of pinched negative curvature. For symmetric spaces of higher rank, which contain isometrically embedded Euclidean...
متن کاملKleinian groups of small Hausdorff dimension are classical Schottky groups
Let H be the hyperbolic 3-space. A subgroup Γ of PSL(2,C) = Iso(H) is called a Kleinian group if it is discrete. Let x ∈ H. The orbit of x under action of Γ is denoted by Γx. The limit set ΛΓ of Γ is definited as ΛΓ = Γx ∩ ∂H. By definition, ΛG is smallest closed Γ-invariant subset of ∂H. The group Γ is called second kind if ΛΓ 6= ∂H, otherwise it is said to be first kind. The set ΩΓ = ∂H 3 − Λ...
