Geometry and Groups | Part II, 2006

Let GG be a discrete subgroup of PSL2(C)\operatorname{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{C}). Show that GG is countable. Let G={g1,g2,}G=\left\{g_{1}, g_{2}, \ldots\right\} be some enumeration of the elements of GG. Show that for any point pp in hyperbolic 3-space H3\mathbb{H}^{3}, the distance dhyp(p,gn(p))d_{h y p}\left(p, g_{n}(p)\right) tends to infinity. Deduce that a subgroup GG of PSL2(C)\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{C}) is discrete if and only if it acts properly discontinuously on H3\mathbb{H}^{3}.
