Random Kleinian Groups, II : Two parabolic generators

In earlier work we introduced geometrically natural probability measures on the group of all Möbius transformations in order to study "random" groups of Möbius transformations, random surfaces, and in particular random two-generator groups, that is groups where the generators are selected randomly, with a view to estimating the likely-hood that such groups are discrete and then to make calculations of the expectation of their associated parameters, geometry and topology. In this paper we continue that study and identify the precise probability that a Fuchsian group generated by two parabolic Möbius transformations is discrete, and give estimates for the case of Kleinian groups generated by a pair of random parabolic elements which we support with a computational investigation into of the Riley slice as identified by Bowditch's condition, and establish rigorous bounds.

Random Kleinian Groups I: Random Fuchsian Groups

We introduce a geometrically natural probability measure on the group of all Möbius transformations of the circle. Our aim is to study "random" groups of Möbius transformations, and in particular random two-generator groups. By this we mean groups where the generators are selected randomly. The probability measure in effect establishes an isomorphism between random $n$-generators groups and collections of $n$ random pairs of arcs on the circle. Our aim is to estimate the likely-hood that such a random group is discrete, calculate the expectation of their associated parameters, geometry and topology, and to test the effectiveness of tests for discreteness such as Jørgensen's inequality.
