Abstract

If Γ is a discrete subgroup of PSL(3, ℂ), it is determined the equicontinuity region Eq(Γ) of the natural action of Γ on ℙ2. It is also proved that the action restricted to Eq(Γ) is discontinuous, and Eq(Γ) agrees with the discontinuity set in the sense of Kulkarni whenever the limit set of Γ in the sense of Kulkarni, Λ(Γ), contains at least three complex lines in general position. Under some additional hypothesis, it turns out to be the largest open set on which Γ acts discontinuously. Moreover, if Λ(Γ) contains at least four complex lines and Γ acts on ℙ2 without fixed points nor invariant complex lines, then each connected component of Eq(Γ) is a holomorphy domain and a complete Kobayashi hyperbolic space.
