On finiteness of Kleinian groups in general dimension
A Kleinian group \(\Gamma\) is a discrete group of conformal transformations of the sphere \(S^n\) which has non-empty domain of discontinuity. A Kleinian group \(\Gamma\) is said to be geometrically finite if its limit set consists of conical limit points and cusped limit points. For \(n=2\), the group \(\Gamma\) is said to be analytically finite if the Riemann surface \(\Omega(\Gamma)/\Gamma\) is of finite type. \textit{C. Bishop} and \textit{P. Jones} proved in their paper [Acta Math. 179, 1--39 (1977; Zbl 0921.30032)] that the limit set of an analytically finite Kleinian group has Hausdorff dimension less than two if and only if \(\Gamma\) is geometrically finite. In the paper under review, the authors extend this result of Bishop and Jones to higher dimensions. They introduce a notion of conformal finiteness, which is a natural generalization of analytical finiteness to higher dimensions, and they prove the following Theorem: If \(\Gamma\) is a nonelementary, conformally finite Kleinian group on \(S^n\), then \(\Gamma\) is geometrically finite if and only if its limit set has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than \(n\). In the same paper cited above, Bishop and Jones constructed an invariant Lipschitz graph which serves in the case \(n=2\) to relate the geometry of the hyperbolic manifold \(B^3/\Gamma\) to the geometry of the Riemann surface \(\Omega(\Gamma)/\Gamma\). In the paper under review, the authors use an analogous construction of an invariant Lipschitz graph over the domain of discontinuity of a Kleinian group for \(n\geq 2\) to prove the following Theorem: Given a Kleinian group \(\Gamma\), the Kleinian manifold \(\Omega(\Gamma)/\Gamma\) is of finite geometry for some metric in the conformal class if and only if \(\Gamma\) is conformally finite. The paper contains also other geometric criteria for a Kleinian group to be conformally finite as well as some information on harmonic functions on the hyperbolic manifold \(B^{n+1}/\Gamma\).
