Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a nonelementary discrete subgroup of SU(n,1) or Sp(n,1). We show that if the trace field of Γ\Gamma is contained in R\mathbb R, Γ\Gamma preserves a totally geodesic submanifold of constant negative sectional curvature. Furthermore if Γ\Gamma is irreducible, Γ\Gamma is a Zariski dense irreducible discrete subgroup of SO(n,1) up to conjugation. This is an analog of a theorem of Maskit for general semisimple Lie groups of rank 11.
