Abstract

Let G6,3=a0,,a5ai3=id,aiai+1=ai+1ai,iZ/6ZG_{6,3}=\langle a_0, \cdots, a_5| a_{i}^{3}=id, a_{i} a_{i+1}= a_{i+1} a_{i}, i \in \mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z}\rangle be a hyperbolic group with boundary the Menger curve. J. Granier \cite{Granier} constructed a discrete, convex cocompact and faithful representation ρ\rho of G6,3G_{6,3} into PU(2,1)\mathbf{PU}(2,1). We show the 3-orbifold at infinity of ρ(G6,3)\rho(G_{6,3}) is a closed hyperbolic 3-orbifold, with underlying space the 3-sphere and singular locus the Z3\mathbb{Z}_3-coned chain-link C(6,2)C(6,-2). This answers the second part of Misha Kapovich's Conjecture 10.6\cite{Kapovich}.
