Abstract: The log3 Theorem, proved by Culler and Shalen, states that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved a distance at least log3 by one of the non-commuting isometries xi or eta provided that xi and eta generate a torsion-free, discrete group which is not co-compact and contains no parabolic. This theorem lies in the foundation of many techniques that provide lower estimates for the volumes of orientable, closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose fundamental group has no 2-generator subgroup of finite index and, as a consequence, gives insights into the topological properties of these manifolds. In this paper, we show that every point in the hyperbolic 3-space is moved a distance at least (1/2)log(5+3sqrt2) by one of the isometries in xi,eta,xieta when xi and eta satisfy the conditions given in the log3 Theorem.
