### Discreteness criteria and algebraic convergence theorem for subgroups in $\mathit{PU}(1,n;C)$

#### Abstract

In this paper, we will study the discreteness criterion for non-elementary subgroups in $\mathit{PU}(1,n;C)$. Several discreteness criteria are obtained. As an application, the convergence theorem of discrete subgroups in $\mathit{PU}(1,n;C)$ is discussed.
