[Abstract-pdf] [Abstract-ps]

In this paper we consider extreme discrete two-generator groups (Jørgensen groups) of parabolic type -- finite case -- for Jørgensen's inequality. There are exactly 16 Jørgensen groups, including the modular group, the Picard group and the figure-eight knot group, in this case. Nine of them are Kleinian groups of the first kind and seven of them are Kleinian groups of the second kind.

Keywords: Jørgensen's inequality, Jørgensen number, Jørgensen group, Kleinian group, Poincaré's polyhedron theorem.
