A better proof of the Goldman-Parker conjecture

Richard Evan Schwartz

Abstract. The Goldman-Parker Conjecture classifies the complex hyperbolic C-reflection ideal triangle groups up to discreteness. We proved the Goldman-Parker Conjecture in [Ann. of Math. 153 (2001) 533--598] using a rigorous computer-assisted proof. In this paper we give a new and improved proof of the Goldman-Parker Conjecture. While the proof relies on the computer for extensive guidance, the proof itself is traditional.

Keywords. Hyperbolic, complex reflection group, ideal triangle group, Goldman-Parker conjecture
