Jorgensen's inequality for non-Archimedean metric spaces.

Armitage, J. Vernon. and Parker, John R. (2008) 'Jorgensen's inequality for non-Archimedean metric spaces.', in Geometry and dynamics of groups and spaces : in memory of Alexander Reznikov. Basel and Boston: Birkhauser, pp. 97-111. Progress in mathematics. (265).

Abstract

Jørgensen’s inequality gives a necessary condition for a non-elementary group of Möbius transformations to be discrete. In this paper we generalise this to the case of groups of Möbius transformations of a non-Archimedean metric space. As an application, we give a version of Jørgensen’s inequality for SL(2, ℚ p ).
