Abstract:
A maximal non-elementary Fuchsian subgroup of a Bianchi group $PSL(2,O_d)$ has an invariant circle or straight line under its linear fractional action on the complex plane, to which is associated a positive integer $D$, the discriminant, which, in turn, is an invariant of the wide commensurability class of the Fuchsian subgroup. In this paper, for all Bianchi groups, we classify the conjugacy classes of these maximal Fuchsian subgroups by determining the number with given discriminant.References
