Abstract

We study the geometry and dynamics of discrete subgroups Γ\Gamma of \PSL(3,C)\PSL(3,\mathbb{C}) with an open invariant set Ω\PC2\Omega \subset \PC^2 where the action is properly discontinuous and the quotient Ω/Γ\Omega/\Gamma contains a connected component whicis compact. We call such groups {\it quasi-cocompact}. In this case Ω/Γ\Omega/\Gamma is a compact complex projective orbifold and Ω\Omega is a {\it divisible set}. Our first theorem refines classical work by Kobayashi-Ochiai and others about complex surfaces with a projective structure: We prove that every such group is either virtually affine or complex hyperbolic. We then classify the divisible sets that appear in this way, the corresponding quasi-cocompact groups and the orbifolds Ω/Γ\Omega/\Gamma. We also prove that excluding a few exceptional cases, the Kulkarni region of discontinuity coincides with the equicontinuity region and is the largest open invariant set where the action is properly discontinuous.
