The special linear group SL2​(R) acting by Möbius transformations has exactly three group orbits on the Riemann sphere: the extended real line and the two open half-planes. The identity Im((az+b)/(cz+d))=Imz/∣cz+d∣2 preserves these sets. Upper triangular determinant-one matrices send i to any prescribed point of the complex upper half-plane, and similarly send −i through the lower half-plane. The stabilizer subgroups of i and −i are both SO(2).
