Review text

This paper proves a theorem which is an extension of a theorem of \textit{L. Greenberg} [Discontin. Groups Riemann Surf., Proc. 1973 Conf. Univ. Maryland, 227--237 (1974; Zbl 0295.20054)]. According to this theorem if \(\Gamma\) is a Fuchsian or Kleinian group of the second kind then the limit set \(L(\Gamma)\) is invariant under the normalizer of \(\Gamma\) and even under the commensurability group of \(\Gamma\), i.e. \(\{\gamma \in G: [\Gamma:\Gamma\cap\gamma\Gamma\gamma^{-1}]<\infty\}\) where \(G\) denotes the group of isometries of the symmetric space. It follows that if \(L(\Gamma)\) is not invariant under a non-trivial Lie group then the normaliser and the commensurability group of \(\Gamma\) are both discrete. If \(\Gamma\) is geometrically finite one even has that the index of \(\Gamma\) in these two groups is finite. In this paper the authors consider the higher-dimensional cases and find a formulation valid when a non-trivial Lie group maps \(L(\Gamma)\) into itself. Their discussion concerns the normalizer rather than the commensurability group. They give applications to Teichmüller theory.
