On the Equicontinuity Region of Discrete Subgroups of PU(1,n)


Abstract in English

Let $ G $ be a discrete subgroup of PU(1,n). Then $ G $ acts on $mathbb {P}^n_mathbb C$ preserving the unit ball $mathbb {H}^n_mathbb {C}$, where it acts by isometries with respect to the Bergman metric. In this work we determine the equicontinuty region $Eq(G)$ of $G$ in $mathbb P^n_{mathbb C}$: It is the complement of the union of all complex projective hyperplanes in $mathbb {P}^n_{mathbb C}$ which are tangent to $partial mathbb {H}^n_mathbb {C}$ at points in the Chen-Greenberg limit set $Lambda_{CG}(G )$, a closed $G$-invariant subset of $partial mathbb {H}^n_mathbb {C}$, which is minimal for non-elementary groups. We also prove that the action on $Eq(G)$ is discontinuous.
