We call such groups {\\it quasi-cocompact}. In this case $\\Omega/\\Gamma$ is a compact complex projective orbifold and $\\Omega$ is a {\\it divisible set}. Our first theorem refines classical work by Kobayashi-Ochiai and others about complex surfaces with a projective structure: We prove that every such group is either virtually affine or complex hyperbolic. We then classify the divisible sets that appear in this way, the corresponding quasi-cocompact groups and the orbifolds $\\Omega/\\Gamma$. We also prove that excluding a few exceptional cases, the Kulkarni region of discontinuity coincides with the equicontinuity region and is the largest open invariant set where the action is properly discontinuous.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-09-06T17:03:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37F99" ], "keywords": [ "discrete subgroups", "largest open invariant set", "first theorem refines classical work", "automorphism", "connected component whicis compact" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.1336C" } } }
