Abstract

A Kleinian group (a discrete subgroup of conformal automorphisms of the unit ball) G is said to have proper conjugation if it contains the conjugate αGα−1 by some conformal automorphism α as a proper subgroup in it. We show that a Kleinian group of divergence type cannot have proper conjugation. Uniqueness of the Patterson–Sullivan measure for such a Kleinian group is crucial to our proof.
