Let M be the group of Möbius transformations of C∪{∞} and let SL(2,C) be the group of all 2×2 complex matrices with determinant 1 .
Show that the map θ:SL(2,C)→M given by
θ(acbd)(z)=cz+daz+b
is a surjective homomorphism. Find its kernel.
Show that every T∈M not equal to the identity is conjugate to a Möbius map S where either Sz=μz with μ=0,1, or Sz=z±1. [You may use results about matrices in SL(2,C), provided they are clearly stated.]
Show that if T∈M, then T is the identity, or T has one, or two, fixed points. Also show that if T∈M has only one fixed point z0 then Tnz→z0 as n→∞ for any z∈C∪{∞}.
