Yue's critical exponent gap conjecture for complex hyperbolic Kleinian groups

About 4 years old · traced to

Let mm be a positive integer, let HCm\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^{m} be complex hyperbolic mm-space, and let Γ\Gamma be a convex cocompact isometry group of HCm\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^{m}. The critical exponent of Γ\Gamma is denoted by δΓ\delta_{\Gamma}. Yue's conjecture. Suppose that Γ\Gamma is a convex cocompact isometry group of HCm\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{C}}^{m}. Then either Γ\Gamma is a uniform lattice, in which case δΓ=2m\delta_{\Gamma}=2m, or

δΓ≤2m−1.\delta_{\Gamma}\leq 2m-1.

The conjecture proposes a gap below the maximal critical exponent for convex cocompact groups that are not uniform lattices. The result discussed in the source produces counterexamples to an analogous gap in dimensions m=2m=2 and 33 for finitely generated discrete groups, but the supplied text does not establish whether Yue's stated convex cocompact conjecture itself is resolved.
