Let be the group of Möbius transformations of and let be the group of all complex matrices of determinant 1 .
Show that the map given by
is a surjective homomorphism. Find its kernel.
Show that any not equal to the identity is conjugate to a Möbius map where either with or . [You may use results about matrices in as long as they are clearly stated.]
Show that any non-identity Möbius map has one or two fixed points. Also show that if is a Möbius map with just one fixed point then as for any . [You may assume that Möbius maps are continuous.]
