contents In this paper, we introduce a collection of purely loxodromic free Kleinian groups, called infinite Schottky group, which are defined by a suitable collection of simple loops in a similar way as in the case for Schottky groups of finite rank. An infinite Schottky group $Γ$ admits a $Γ$-invariant connected component $Ω$ of its region of discontinuity, such that every other component is a topological disc and has trivial $Γ$-stabilizer, and $Ω/Γ$ is an infinite type Riemann surface without planar ends. Every infinite type Riemann surface $Σ_{F}$ without planar ends can be so obtained (retrosection theorem). If $G < {\rm Aut}(Σ_{F})$ acts freely and $Σ_{F}/G$ is of finite type, then we observe that it lifts to a group of automorphisms of $Ω$, for a suitable infinite Schottky uniformization of it by a infinite Schottky group $Γ$, if and only if there is a $G$-invariant collection ${\mathcal F}$ of pairwise disjoint essential simple loops on $Σ_{F}$ such that each connected component of $Σ_{F} \setminus {\mathcal F}$ is a finite planar surface, generalizing the situation for the case of Schottky groups of finite rank.

In this paper, we introduce a collection of purely loxodromic free Kleinian groups, called infinite Schottky group, which are defined by a suitable collection of simple loops in a similar way as in the case for Schottky groups of finite rank. An infinite Schottky group $Γ$ admits a $Γ$-invariant connected component $Ω$ of its region of discontinuity, such that every other component is a topological disc and has trivial $Γ$-stabilizer, and $Ω/Γ$ is an infinite type Riemann surface without planar ends. Every infinite type Riemann surface $Σ_{F}$ without planar ends can be so obtained (retrosection theorem). If $G < {\rm Aut}(Σ_{F})$ acts freely and $Σ_{F}/G$ is of finite type, then we observe that it lifts to a group of automorphisms of $Ω$, for a suitable infinite Schottky uniformization of it by a infinite Schottky group $Γ$, if and only if there is a $G$-invariant collection ${\mathcal F}$ of pairwise disjoint essential simple loops on $Σ_{F}$ such that each connected component of $Σ_{F} \setminus {\mathcal F}$ is a finite planar surface, generalizing the situation for the case of Schottky groups of finite rank.
