Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the topological and analytical restrictions on a domain D in euclidean n-space R n on which an infinite discrete quasiconformal group can act. We will see that the restrictions are indeed severe, unlike the case of a discrete group of topological or differentiable homeomorphisms.
