Geometric Topology 2018-05-08 v2

Abstract

Let SL(2, H\mathbb H) be the group of 2×22 \times 2 quaternionic matrices A=(abcd)A=\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} with quaternionic determinant detA=adaca1b=1\det A=|ad-aca^{-1} b|=1. This group acts by the orientation-preserving isometries of the five dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. We obtain discreteness criteria for Zariski-dense subgroups of SL(2, H\mathbb H) using test maps.
