Abstract

In this paper‎, ‎we have shown that the coset diagrams for the‎ ‎action of a linear-fractional group $\Gamma$ generated by the linear-fractional‎ ‎transformations $r:z\rightarrow \frac{z-1}{z}$ and $s:z\rightarrow \frac{-1}{2(z+1)}$ on‎ ‎the rational projective line is connected and transitive‎. ‎By using coset diagrams‎, ‎we have shown that $r^{3}=s^{4}=1$ are defining relations for $\Gamma$‎. ‎Furthermore‎, ‎we have studied some important results for the action of group $\Gamma$ on real‎ ‎quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{n})$‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we have classified all the ambiguous numbers in the orbit.
