Uncountably many maximal subgroups in hyperbolic triangle groups

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Γ\Gamma be a hyperbolic triangle group. A subgroup has infinite index if its index in Γ\Gamma is infinite, and two subgroups are conjugate when one is obtained from the other by conjugation in Γ\Gamma. Uncountability conjecture. Every hyperbolic triangle group has uncountably many conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of infinite index. The paper establishes this for the groups Δ(2,3,r)\Delta(2,3,r) and Δ[2,3,r]\Delta[2,3,r] when r≥7r\geq 7, but the assertion for every hyperbolic triangle group remains open.
