Write . As a subgroup of a discrete group, it is a Kleinian group, even if it is not finitely generated. Since it is infinite, part (b) gives a nonempty closed Kleinian limit set . For , conjugation and base-point independence giveOne can see this directly by applying to : the image is the orbit of under the conjugate subgroup, and the choice of interior point does not affect its limit set. Normality makes the conjugate subgroup equal to , so is -invariant. Applying part (c) yields .
Conversely , so every boundary accumulation point of the smaller orbit is one of the larger orbit: . Therefore the limit set of an infinite normal Kleinian subgroup satisfiesInfinitude supplies nonemptiness, normality supplies invariance, and non-elementarity supplies minimality. Properness of the subgroup is not needed, and no finite-generation assumption on it has been inserted.
