Self-embeddings of Kleinian groups

From MaRDI portal





The authors give sufficient conditions for a geometrically finite Kleinian group \(G\) acting in the hyperbolic space \({\mathbf H}^n\) to have a co-Hopf property, i.e. not to contain non-trivial proper subgroup isomorphic to itself. The main result of the article is the following. Let \(G\) be a geometrically finite, non-elementary, torsion-free, discrete (Kleinian) subgroup of the orientation preserving isometry group \(Iso_{+} {\mathbf H}^n\) of the hyperbolic space \({\mathbf H}^n\) (\(n \geq 3\)). Then \(G\) is co-Hopf if \(G\) does not split as \(HNN\)-extension or amalgamated free product over a virtually abelian subgroup \(H \subset G\) of virtual rank \(k\) (\(0 \leq k \leq n-1\)). Furthermore, for any \(n\) and \(k \in \{ 1, \dots , n-2 \}\) there are freely indecomposable non-elementary, geometrically finite, torsion-free Kleinian groups which split over non-maximal parabolic subgroups of rank \(k\) and which are not co-Hopf.
