Symplectic Representation of a Braid Group on 3-Sheeted Covers of the Riemann Sphere

Rolf-Peter, Holzapfel (1997)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We define Picard cycles on each smooth three-sheeted Galois cover C of the Riemann sphere. The moduli space of all these algebraic curves is a nice Shimura surface, namely a symmetric quotient of the projective plane uniformized by the complex two-dimensional unit ball. We show that all Picard cycles on C form a simple orbit of the Picard modular group of Eisenstein numbers. The proof uses a special surface classification in connection with the uniformization of a classical Picard-Fuchs system....

The box-counting dimension for geometrically finite Kleinian groups

B. Stratmann, Mariusz Urbański (1996)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We calculate the box-counting dimension of the limit set of a general geometrically finite Kleinian group. Using the 'global measure formula' for the Patterson measure and using an estimate on the horoball counting function we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set is equal to both: the box-counting dimension and packing dimension of the limit set. Thus, by a result of Sullivan, we conclude that for a geometrically finite group these three different types of dimension coincide with the...
