Bianchi group

In mathematics, a Bianchi group is a group of the form where d is a positive square-free integer. Here, PSL denotes the projective special linear group and is the ring of integers of the imaginary quadratic field . The groups were first studied by as a natural class of discrete subgroups of , now termed Kleinian groups. As a subgroup of , a Bianchi group acts as orientation-preserving isometries of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space . The quotient space is a non-compact, hyperbolic 3-fold with finite volume, which is also called Bianchi orbifold. An exact formula for the volume, in terms of the Dedekind zeta function of the base field , was computed by Humbert as follows. Let be the discriminant of , and , the discontinuous action on , then The set of cusps of is in bijection with the class group of . It is well known that every non-cocompact arithmetic Kleinian group is weakly commensurable with a Bianchi group.

Groupe discret

In mathematics, a topological group G is called a discrete group if there is no limit point in it (i.e., for each element in G, there is a neighborhood which only contains that element). Equivalently, the group G is discrete if and only if its identity is isolated. A subgroup H of a topological group G is a discrete subgroup if H is discrete when endowed with the subspace topology from G. In other words there is a neighbourhood of the identity in G containing no other element of H.
