ABSTRACT.

We study various aspects of the family of groups generated by the parabolic matrices A(t 1 ζ),. .. , A(t m ζ) where A(z) = () and by the elliptic matrix (). The elements of the matrices W in such groups can be computed by a recursion formula. These groups are special cases of the generalized parametrized modular groups introduced in [16].

We study the sets {z : tr W(z) Є [-2, +2]} [13] and their critical points and geometry, furthermore some finite index subgroups and the discretness of subgroups.

Key words and phrases. modular group; parametrized modular group; singular set; discrete groups; Chebyshev polynomials

RESUMEN.

Estudiamos algunos aspectos de la familia de grupos generados por matrices parabólicas A(t 1 ζ),...,A(t m ζ) donde A(z) = () y por la matriz elíptica (). Los elementos de las matrices W en tales grupos se pueden calcular mediante una formula de recurrencia. Estos grupos son casos especiales de la generalizacion del grupo modular parametrizado estudiado en [16].

Estudiamos los conjuntos {z : tr W(z) Є [-2, +2]} [13] y sus puntos críticos y geometría, así como tambien algunos subgrupos de índice finito y la discreticidad de tales subgrupos.

Palabras y frases clave. grupo modular; grupo modular parametrizado; conjunto singular; grupos discretos; polinomios de Chebyshev
