Abstract

In this paper we look at a special type of discrete subgroups of PSLn+1(C)PSL_{n+1}(\Bbb{C}) called Schottky groups. We develop some basic properties of these groups and their limit set when n>1n > 1, and we prove that Schottky groups only occur in odd dimensions, {\it i.e.}, they cannot be realized as subgroups of PSL2n+1(C)PSL_{2n+1}(\Bbb{C}).
