Abstract

Let F=R\mathbb F=\mathbb R, C\mathbb C or H\mathbb H. Let HFn{\bf H}_{\mathbb F}^n denote the nn-dimensional F\mathbb F-hyperbolic space. Let U(n,1;F){\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F) be the linear group that acts by the isometries. A subgroup GG of U(n,1;F){\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F) is called \emph{Zariski dense} if it does not fix a point on the closure of the F\mathbb F-hyperbolic space, and neither it preserves a totally geodesic subspace of it. We prove that a Zariski dense subgroup GG of U(n,1;F){\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F) is discrete if for every loxodromic element gGg \in G, the two generator subgroup f,g\langle f, g \rangle is discrete, where fU(n,1;F)f \in {\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F) is a test map not necessarily from GG.
