Define the Möbius group, and describe how it acts on C∪{∞}\mathbb{C} \cup\{\infty\}.

Show that the subgroup of the Möbius group consisting of transformations which fix 0 and ∞\infty is isomorphic to C∗=C\{0}\mathbb{C}^{*}=\mathbb{C} \backslash\{0\}.

Now show that the subgroup of the Möbius group consisting of transformations which fix 0 and 1 is also isomorphic to C∗\mathbb{C}^{*}.
