The special linear group 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 preserves these sets. Upper triangular determinant-one matrices send to any prescribed point of the complex upper half-plane, and similarly send through the lower half-plane. The stabilizer subgroups of and are both .
