Kleinian groups with real parameters (Q2732612)

For a two-generator Möbius group \(\langle f,g \rangle\), there are three complex numbers as its parameters. In this paper the authors adopt the trace parameters \((\gamma (f,g), \beta (f), \beta (g))\), \(\beta (f)=\text{ tr}^2(f)-4\), \(\beta (g)=\text{ tr}^2(g)-4\), \(\gamma (f,g)=\text{ tr}([f,g])-2\), where \([f,g]\) denotes the commutator of \(f\) and \(g\). In order to investigate the space of the parameters for discrete groups the authors give a two-dimensional slice and study the real points of the space. For a discrete group \(\langle f,g \rangle\) with parameters \((\gamma, \beta, \beta')\), \(\gamma \neq \beta,0\), by using an elliptic element \(h\) of order two, the authors take another discrete group \(\langle f,h \rangle\) with parameters \((\gamma, \beta, -4)\) to reduce the parameters and give a necessary condition for a discrete group to satisfy \((\gamma, \beta)\in {\mathbb{R}}^2\).
