Conjugacy classes in M\"obius groups
Abstract
Let \H^{n+1} denote the -dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. Let denote the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. The group of conformal diffeomorphisms of is denoted by . Let be its identity component which consists of all orientation-preserving elements in . The conjugacy classification of isometries in depends on the conjugacy of and in . For an element in , and are conjugate in , but they may not be conjugate in . In the literature, is called real if is conjugate in to . In this paper we classify real elements in . Let be an element in . Corresponding to there is an associated element in . If the complex conjugate eigenvalues of are given by , , , then are called the \emph{rotation angles} of . If the rotation angles of are distinct from each-other, then is called a \emph{regular} element. After classifying the real elements in we have parametrized the conjugacy classes of regular elements in . In the parametrization, when is not conjugate to , we have enlarged the group and have considered the conjugacy class of in . We prove that each such conjugacy class can be induced with a fibration structure.
