Abstract

In this article, we prove a version of Martin and Skora's conjecture that convergence groups on the 22-sphere are covered by Kleinian groups. Given a relatively hyperbolic group pair (G,P)(G,\mathcal{P}) with planar boundary and no Sierpinski carpet or cut points in its boundary, and with GG one ended and virtually having no 22-torsion, we show that GG is virtually Kleinian. We also give applications to various versions of the Cannon conjecture and to convergence groups acting on S2S^2.
