Groups generated by two elliptic elements in PU(2,1)

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let ff and gg be two elliptic elements in PU(2,1)\mathbf{PU}(2,1) of order mm and nn respectively, where m≥n>2m\geq n>2. We prove that if the distance δ(f,g)δ(f,g) between the complex lines or points fixed by ff and gg is large than a certain number, then the group <f,g>< f, g > is discrete nonelementary and isomorphic to the free product Zm∗Zn\mathbf{Z}_{m}*\mathbf{Z}_{n}.
