Moduli of triples of points in quaternionic hyperbolic geometry

Abstract

In this work, we describe the moduli of triples of points in quaternionic projective space which define uniquely the congruence classes of such triples relative to the action of the isometry group of quaternionic hyperbolic space ${\rm H}^n_{\mathbb{Q}}$. To solve this problem, we introduce some basic invariants of triples of points in quaternionic hyperbolic geometry. In particular, we define quaternionic analogues of the Goldman invariants for mixed configurations of points introduced by him in complex hyperbolic geometry.
