This work demonstrates the equivalence of primitive stability and Q-conditions in hyperbolic d-space, suggesting deeper connections for representations of F_2.
The two largest known domains of discontinuity for the action of Out(F_2) on the PSL(2,C)-character variety of F_2 - defined by Minsky's primitive stability, and Bowditch's Q-conditions - were proven to be equal independently by Lee-Xu and Series. We prove the equivalence between primitive stability and a generalization of the Q-conditions for representations of F_2 into the isometry group of hyperbolic d-space for d >= 3, under some assumptions. In particular, these assumptions are satisfied by all W_3-extensible representations. We also generalize Lee-Xu's and Series' results concerning the bounded intersection property to higher dimensions after extending their original definition to this setting.
