Abstract: A parabolic representation of the free group $F_2$ is one in which the images of both generators are parabolic elements of $PSL(2,IC)$. The Riley slice is a closed subset $calRsubsetIC$ which is a model for the parabolic, discrete and faithful characters of $F_2$. The complement of the Riley slice is a bounded Jordan domain within which there are isolated points, accumulating only at the boundary, corresponding to parabolic discrete and faithful representations of rigid subgroups of $PSL(2,IC)$. Recent work of Aimi, Akiyoshi, Lee, Oshika, Parker, Lee, Sakai, Sakuma & Yoshida, have topologically identified all these groups. Here we give the first identified substantive properties of the nondiscrete representations and prove a supergroup density theorem: given any irreducible parabolic representation $h{o}_{\ast }:F_{2}oPSL(2,IC)$ whatsoever, any non-discrete parabolic representation $h{o}_0$ has an arbitrarily small perturbation $h{o}_{e}psilon$ so that $h{o}_{e}psilon(F_2)$ contains a conjugate of $h{o}_{\ast }(F_2)$ as a proper subgroup. This implies that if $Gamm{a}_{\ast }$ is any nonelementary group generated by two parabolic elements (discrete or otherwise) and $gamm{a}_0$ is any point in the complement of the Riley slice, then in any neighbourhood of $gamma$ there is a point corresponding to a nonelementary group generated by two parabolics with a conjugate of $Gamm{a}_{\ast }$ as a proper subgroup. Using these ideas we then show that there are nondiscrete parabolic representations with an arbitrarily large number of distinct Nielsen classes of parabolic generators.
