Explain briefly how Möbius transformations of the Riemann sphere are extended to give isometries of the unit ball B3R3B^{3} \subset \mathbb{R}^{3} for the hyperbolic metric.

Which Möbius transformations have extensions that fix the origin in B3B^{3} ?

For which Möbius transformations TT can we find a hyperbolic line in B3B^{3} that TT maps onto itself? For which of these Möbius transformations is there only one such hyperbolic line?
