Homological dimension and critical exponent of Kleinian groups
arXiv:math/0701797
Abstract
We prove that the relative homological dimension of a Kleinian group G does not exceed 1 + the critical exponent of G. As an application of this result we show that for a geometrically finite Kleinian group G, if the topological dimension of the limit set of G equals its Hausdorff dimension, then the limit set is a round sphere.
