Divisibility from the free even-sign action #
For odd characteristic, the Klein four-group of even sign changes acts freely on the punctured Markoff surface. Consequently every finite sign-invariant set is a disjoint union of four-element sign orbits.
In characteristic different from two, no nontrivial even sign change fixes a punctured Markoff point.
The even-sign action on the punctured Markoff surface is free in characteristic different from two.
