Minimal index torsion-free subgroups of Kleinian groups

چکیده
A Kleinian group Γ is a discrete subgroup of PSL(2, C), the full group of orientation-preserving isometries of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. In the language of [T1] Q = H3/Γ is a hyperbolic 3-orbifold; that is a metric 3-orbifold in which all sectional curvatures are -1, and for which Γ is the orbifold fundamental group (see [T1] for further details). A Fuchsian group is a discrete subgroup of PSL(2, R) and as such acts discontinuously on the hyperbolic plane. We define Γ to be of finite co-volume (resp. co-area) if the volume (resp. area) of the quotient orbifold Q is finite. By Selberg’s Lemma, if Γ is a Kleinian (resp. Fuchsian) group of finite covolume (resp. co-area) it contains a torsion-free subgroup of finite index. By definition any torsion-free subgroup cannot contain any finite subgroups of Γ , so the index must be a multiple of the lowest common multiple of all orders of finite subgroups of Γ (see [CFJR] for a proof). Γ being of finite co-volume implies there are only finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups. Thus, we make the following

Existence and Non-Existence of Torsion in Maximal Arithmetic Fuchsian Groups
In [1], Borel discussed discrete arithmetic groups arising from quaternion algebras over number fields with particular reference to arithmetic Kleinian and arithmetic Fuchsian groups. In these cases, he described, in each commensurability class, a class of groups which contains all maximal groups. Developing results on embedding commutative orders of the defining number field into maximal or Ei...

We identify the normal subgroups of the orientation preserving subgroup [3, 5, 3] of the Coxeter group [3, 5, 3], with the factor group isomorphic to PSL2(Fq) with particular congruence subgroups of an arithmetic subgroup of PSL2(C) derived from a quaternion algebra over a quartic field. 1 Motivation – Hurwitz groups and HurwitzMacbeath surfaces It is a well known fact that up to isomorphy, the...
متن کاملSurface Subgroups of Kleinian Groups with Torsion
A subgroup of a group is known as a surface subgroup if it is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface with positive genus. The surface subgroup conjecture in low-dimensional topology proposes that if the fundamental group of a closed orientable irreducible 3-manifold is infinite, then it contains a surface subgroup. With the recent solution to the geometrisa...

J. Reine Angew. Math 436 (1993), pp. 209– 219. Stony Brook IMS Preprint #1991/23 December 1991 Let G ⊂ PSL(2,C) be a geometrically finite Kleinian group, with region of discontinuity Ω(G). By Ahlfors’ finiteness theorem, the quotient, Ω(G)/G, is a finite union of Riemann surfaces of finite type. Thus on it, there are only finitely many mutually disjoint free homotopy classes of simple closed cu...
متن کاملResults on Engel Fuzzy Subgroups
In the classical group theory there is an open question: Is every torsion free n-Engel group (for n ≥ 4), nilpotent?. To answer the question, Traustason [11] showed that with some additional conditions all 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent. Here, we gave some partial answer to this question on Engel fuzzy subgroups. We show that if μ is a normal 4-Engel fuzzy subgroup of ...
