On finiteness of Kleinian groups in general dimension

All finitely generated Kleinian groups of small Hausdorff dimension are classical Schottky groups

This is the second part of the works on Hausdorff dimensions of Schottky groups. It has been conjectured that the Hausdorff dimensions of nonclassical Schottky groups are strictly bounded from below. In this second part of our works we provide a resolution of this conjecture, we prove that there exists a universal positive number $λ>0$, such that any finitely-generated non-elementary Kleinian groups with limit set of Hausdorff dimension $<λ$ are classical Schottky groups. We will generalize our previous technologies given in \cite{HS} to prove our general result. Our result can be consider as …

Three-dimensional sol manifolds and complex kleinian groups

We give a topological description of the quotient space $Ω(G)/G$ in the case $G \subset PSL(3, \mathbb{C})$ is a discrete subgroup acting on $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ and the maximum number of complex projective lines in general position contained in Kulkarni's limit set, $Λ(G)$, is 4. We also give a topological description of the quotient space $Ω(G)/G$ in the case $G$ a lattice of Heisenberg's group.

Non-local Curvature and Topology of Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds

In this paper, we focus on the geometry of compact conformally flat manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with positive scalar curvature. Schoen-Yau proved that its universal cover $(\widetilde{M^n},\tilde{g})$ is conformally embedded in $\mathbb{S}^n$ such that $M^n$ is a Kleinian manifold. Moreover, the limit set of the Kleinian group has Hausdorff dimension $<\frac{n-2}{2}$. If additionally we assume that the non-local curvature $Q_{2γ}\geq 0$ for some $1<γ<2$, the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set is less than or equal to $\frac{n-2γ}{2}$. If $Q_{2γ}>0$, then the above inequality is strict. Moreover, the…

On a conformal gap and finiteness theorem for a class of four manifolds

In this paper we develop a bubble tree structure for a degenerating class of Riemannian metrics satisfying some global conformal bounds on compact manifolds of dimension 4. Applying the bubble tree structure, we establish a gap theorem, a finiteness theorem for diffeomorphism type for this class, and a diameter bound for a family of conformal metricssatisfying a suitable curvature equation.

Lorentzian Kleinian Groups

Classical Kleinian groups are discrete subgroups of isometries of H n. The well-known theory of Kleinian groups starts with the definition of their associated limit set in the boundary of H n , and includes the geometric properties of the quotient hyperbolic space. This approach, naively applied, fails in the Lorentzian analogue anti-de Sitter space: discrete subgroups do not act properly discontinuously, and in many cases the set of accumulation points of orbits at the conformal boundary at infinity depends on the orbit. In this survey, we point out a way to extend this classical theory by in…

Stability, Finiteness and Dimension Four

We prove that for any $k\in \mathbb{R},$ $v>0,$ and $D>0$ there are only finitely many diffeomorphism types of closed Riemannian $4$-manifolds with sectional curvature $\geq k,$ volume $\geq v,$ and diameter $\leq D.$

Geometric Diffeomorphism Finiteness in Low Dimensions and Homotopy Group Finiteness

Our main result asserts that for any given numbers C and D the class of simply connected closed smooth manifolds of dimension m<7 which admit a Riemannian metric with sectional curvature bounded in absolute value by C and diameter uniformly bounded from above by D contains only finitely many diffeomorphism types. Thus in these dimensions the lower positive bound on volume in Cheeger's Finiteness Theorem can be replaced by a purely topological condition, simply-connectedness. In dimension 4 instead of simply-connectedness here only non-vanishing of the Euler characteristic has to be required. A…

Hausdorff dimension of non-conical limit sets

Geometrically infinite Kleinain groups have nonconical limit sets with the cardinality of the continuum. In this paper, we construct a geometrically infinite Fuchsian group such that the Hausdorff dimension of the nonconical limit set equals zero. For finitely generated, geometrically infinite Kleinian groups, we prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the nonconical limit set is positive.
