Rigidity of a rank $1$ cusp of punctured-surface groups in hyperbolic $4$-space

Youngju Kim

Abstract

We prove that a punctured-torus group of hyperbolic $4$-space which keeps an embedded hyperbolic $2$-plane invariant has a strictly parabolic commutator. More generally, this rigidity persists for a punctured-surface group.

Keywords: Hyperbolic geometry, hyperbolic $4$-space, parabolic isometry, punctured-surface group, punctured-torus group, deformation, rigidity
