Abstract:
In this paper we give two basic constructions of groups with the following properties: - (a)
-
, i.e., the group is acting by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on ; - (b)
- every element of
is Möbius-like; - (c)
-
, where denotes the limit set of ; - (d)
-
is discrete; - (e)
-
is not a conjugate of a Möbius group. Both constructions have the same basic idea (inspired by Denjoy): we start with a Möbius group (of a certain type) and then we change the underlying circle upon which acts by inserting some closed intervals and then extending the group action over the new circle. We denote this new action by . Now we form a new group which is generated by all of and an additional element whose existence is enabled by the inserted intervals. This group has all the properties (a) through (e).
