A rigidity theorem for complex Kleinian groups

Abstract

Farre, Pozzetti and Viaggi proved that any (d-k)-hyperconvex subgroup of PSL(d,C) is virtually isomorphic to a convex cocompact Kleinian group and that its k-th simple root critical exponent is at most 2. We show that a (d-k)-hyperconvex subgroup is isomorphic to a uniform lattice in PSL(2,C) if and only if its k-th simple root critical exponent is exactly 2. Furthermore, we show that if a strongly irreducible (d-k)-hyperconvex subgroup has k-th simple root critical exponent 2, then it is the image of a uniform lattice in PSL(2, C) by an irreducible representation of PSL(2, C) into PSL(d, C).
