ON GEHRING–MARTIN–TAN GROUPS WITH AN ELLIPTIC GENERATOR

The Gehring–Martin–Tan inequality for two-generator subgroups of $\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ is one of the best known discreteness conditions. A Kleinian group $G$ is called a Gehring–Martin–Tan group if the equality holds for the group $G$. We give a method for constructing Gehring–Martin–Tan groups with a generator of order four and present some examples. These groups arise as groups of finite-volume hyperbolic 3-orbifolds.
