Abstract: In this paper we look at a special type of discrete subgroups of $PS{L}_{n+1}(BbbC)$ called Schottky groups. We develop some basic properties of these groups and their limit set when $n>1$, and we prove that Schottky groups only occur in odd dimensions, {it i.e.}, they cannot be realized as subgroups of $PS{L}_{2n+1}(BbbC)$.

Review text

The paper concerns with the Schottky groups in higher dimensional complex projective spaces. Schottky groups have been studied in odd-dimensional projective spaces. The main result of the paper shows that Schottky groups in fact only occur in odd dimensions and can not be realized in even dimensions.
