Abstract

A two-generator group 〈f, g〉 of Möbius maps is determined, up to conjugacy, by the numbers β = tr2(f) − 4, β′ = tr2(g) − 4 and γ = tr (fgf−1g−1) − 2, provided that γ ≠ 0. We study the subset D of C3 of those (β, β′, γ) which arise from discrete groups. In particular, we identify precisely D[setmn ]D.
