Yang's test-map discreteness conjecture for subgroups of SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb C)

Let GG be a non-elementary subgroup of SL(2,C)SL(2,\mathbb C) containing elliptic elements, and let ff be a loxodromic or elliptic transformation. For each elliptic element gGg\in G, consider the subgroup f,g\langle f,g\rangle. Yang's test-map discreteness conjecture. If f,g\langle f,g\rangle is discrete for every elliptic element gGg\in G, then GG is discrete. This conjecture concerns whether discreteness of the rank-two subgroups detected by a fixed test map forces discreteness of the whole non-elementary Möbius group. It was proposed as a generalization of earlier discreteness criteria using partial information about rank-two subgroups; the supplied text gives no resolution.
