In this paper, we give an analogue of Jorgensens inequality for non-elementary groups of isometries of quaternionic hyperbolic space generated by two elements, one of which is elliptic. As an application, we obtain an analogue of Jorgensens inequality in 2-dimensional Mobius group of the above case.
Jorgensens inequality gives a necessary condition for a non-elementary two generator group of isometries of real hyperbolic 2-space to be discrete. We give analogues of Jorgensens inequality for non-elementary groups of isometries of quaternionic hyperbolic n-space generated by two elements, one of which is loxodromic.
In this paper, we obtain analogues of Jorgensens inequality for non-elementary groups of isometries of quaternionic hyperbolic $n$-space generated by two elements, one of which is loxodromic. Our result gives some improvement over earlier results of Kim [10] and Markham [15]}. These results also apply to complex hyperbolic space and give improvements on results of Jiang, Kamiya and Parker [7] As applications, we use the quaternionic version of J{o}rgensens inequalities to construct embedded collars about short, simple, closed geodesics in quaternionic hyperbolic manifolds. We show that these canonical collars are disjoint from each other. Our results give some improvement over earlier results of Markham and Parker and answer an open question posed in [16].
Transcendental Brauer elements are notoriously difficult to compute. Work of Wittenberg, and later, Ieronymou, gives a method for computing 2-torsion transcendental classes on surfaces that have a genus 1 fibration with rational 2-torsion in the Jacobian fibration. We use ideas from a descent paper of Poonen and Schaefer to remove this assumption on the rational 2-torsion.
The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a description of the structure of torsion subgroups. As an appliction, we prove the Tits alternative for arbitrary subgroups of the Cremona group, generalizing a result of Cantat. We also describe solvable subgroups of the Cremona group and their derived length, refining results from Deserti.
We construct Markov partitions for non-invertible and/or singular nonuniformly hyperbolic systems defined on higher dimensional Riemannian manifolds. The generality of the setup covers classical examples not treated so far, such as geodesic flows in closed manifolds, multidimensional billiard maps, and Viana maps, and includes all the recent results of the literature. We also provide a wealth of applications.
