On 2-Sphere Bowditch Boundaries Attaining Conformal Dimension

Abstract

Bonk and Kleiner proved that if G is a Gromov hyperbolic group whose boundary ∂∞G is homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric $2$-sphere Z, and the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of Z is attained and equal to Q, then G acts discretely, cocompactly, and isometrically on ℍ3. In this article, we extend the Bonk-Kleiner theorem to the setting of relatively hyperbolic groups. More precisely, we prove that if (G,ℋ) is a relatively hyperbolic group whose Bowditch boundary is homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric $2$-sphere Z, with the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of Z attained and equal to Q, then G acts discretely and isometrically on ℍ3, and every subgroup in ℋ is virtually ℤ2.

AB  - Bonk and Kleiner proved that if G is a Gromov hyperbolic group whose boundary ∂_∞G is homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric $2$-sphere Z, and the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of Z is attained and equal to Q, then G acts discretely, cocompactly, and isometrically on ℍ^3. In this article, we extend the Bonk-Kleiner theorem to the setting of relatively hyperbolic groups. More precisely, we prove that if (G,ℋ) is a relatively hyperbolic group whose Bowditch boundary is homeomorphic to an Ahlfors Q-regular metric $2$-sphere Z, with the Ahlfors regular conformal dimension of Z attained and equal to Q, then G acts discretely and isometrically on ℍ^3, and every subgroup in ℋ is virtually ℤ^2.
