Conjugacy invariants of \(Sl(2,\mathbb H)\). (Q1430370): Difference between revisions

The author determines conjugacy invariants of Sl\((2,{\mathbb H})\), where \({\mathbb H}\) denotes the real quaternions. This leads then to a classification of projectivities, i.e. the elements of PSl\((2,{\mathbb H})\). Reviewer's remarks: On page 26 the classification of (direct) Möbius transformations on the complex projective line is cited incorrectly from [\textit{A. F. Beardon}, The geometry of discrete groups (1983; Zbl 0528.30001), p.\ 67]: the strictly loxodromic transformations are missing, and the identity has to be ruled out. By a completely different approach, a classification not only of the projectivities but also of the anti-projectivities on the quaterionic projective line was given by the reviewer [Publ. Math. 40, No. 3--4, 219--227 (1992; Zbl 0773.51001)] based upon two papers of \textit{L. Gyarmathi} [Publ. Math. 21, 233--248 (1974; Zbl 0295.50025) and ibid. 27, 93--106 (1980; Zbl 0458.51020)].
