    \textit{H. Cohn} [Acta Arith. 18, 125--136 (1971; Zbl 0218.10041)] studied the relation between Markoff's spectrum for the rational number field \(\mathbb{Q}\) and the Euclidean height of geodesics given by primitive elements of a two generator subgroup in \(\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})\). The quotient space of the hyperbolic plane \(\mathbb{H}^2\) by this subgroup is a once punctured torus.NEWLINENEWLINEIn the paper under review, the authors study the relation between Markoff's spectrum for the imaginary quadratic number field \(\mathbb{Q}(i)\) and the Euclidean height of geodesics of certain elements of a subgroup in \(\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C})\). The quotient space of the hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{H}^3\) by this subgroup is the Borromean rings complement.
