A matrix $X=\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{pmatrix}\in\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ acts isometrically on the upper half-space model $\mathbb{H}^3$ via isometric extension of the Mobius transformation on $ …

Ordinary Minkowski space is $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}:=(\mathbb{R}^4,\phi)$ where $\phi:\mathbb{R}^4\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a quadratic form of signature $(3,1)$. Lying within this is a hyperboloid model fo …

Let $X$ be a complete finite-volume orientable hyperbolic $3$-manifold, and let $\Gamma$ be a Kleinian representation of $\pi_1(X)$. Let $K\Gamma:=\mathbb{Q}\big(\{\mathrm{tr}\mid\gamma\in\Gamma\}\big …

When I say manifold below, I mean a complete orientable finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold and when I say subsurface, I mean immersed closed totally geodesic subsurface. Whenever a manifold has a …

Let $\mathcal{I}^3\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ be the standard hyperboloid model for hyperbolic $3$-space and consider the usual $\mathrm{SO}(3,1)$ action of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ on $\mathcal{I}^3$. G …

This is a follow-up question to a question from math.stackexchange: https://math.stackexchange.com/q/1436253/67563 Had it not been for the exchange there between myself and @Lee_Mosher in the comments …

I am interested in realizing commensurability classes of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds whose quaternion algebra (note: not invariant quaternion algebra) is isomorphic to one of the form $\Big(\frac{a,b}{F( …

I am interested in when the trace field of a knot complement has the form $F(\sqrt{-d})$ for $F\subset\mathbb{R}$ and $d\in F^+$ (squarefree). Does this occur for infinitely many choices of pairs $(F, …

I realize there are a few different ways of going about proving this, depending on one's background, but there's a particular number theoretic aspect that I am just blanking on, and can't seem to find …

Let $\Gamma$ be a Kleinian group and let $\mathbb{H}^3$ be the upper half-space model for hyperbolic 3-space. Then $\mathbb{H}^3/\Gamma$ is an orientable hyperbolic 3-orbifold (with the group action d …

In Thurston's Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology, he gives a recipe for a non-standard model for hyperbolic space which he calls the paraboloid model. I'd like to use the model to try out certai …

UPDATE - Feb. 9, 2017: The original title of this post was "The $\text{isometry}^+$ group of hyperbolic $n$-space as $\mathrm{PSL}_2$ of a Clifford group." The original question, which appears below, …

Edit: In my original post I failed to require the group to be a manifold group. The answer below from @BenLinowitz works in that case. I am really interested though in when the group is torsion-free, …

I've been studying number theoretic methods of classifying hyperbolic 3-manifolds for over a year now. In particular, there is are the trace field, invariant trace field, quaternion algebra, and inva …

I'm working in the area of arithmetic Kleinian groups (as discrete groups of motions of hyperbolic 3-space). For the more general case of hyperbolic $n$-space, there is a particular class of arithmet …
