Abstract: Suppose G is a non-free finitely generated Kleinian group without parabolics which is not a lattice and let C(G) denote the commensurator in PSL(2,C). We prove that if the limit set of G is not a round circle, then C(G) is discrete. Furthermore, G has finite index in C(G) unless G is a fiber group in which case C(G) is a lattice.

Review text

This article was inspired by the question of whether there is a broad generalization of the theorem of Margulis by replacing the finite covolume hypothesis by the weaker assumption that the group only be Zariski dense. Let \(\Gamma\) be a finitely generated torsion-free Kleinian group of the first kind which is not a lattice and \(C(\Gamma)\) be the commensurator of \(\Gamma\). The authors show that if \(\Gamma\) is not free and contains no parabolic elements then \(C(\Gamma)\) is discrete, furthermore, \([C(\Gamma ):\Gamma]=\infty\) if and only if \(\Gamma\) is a fiber group, in this case, \(C(\Gamma)\) is a lattice.
