Discrete automorphism groups of convex cones of finite type

Geometric Topology 2019-02-20 v2 Metric Geometry

Abstract

We investigate subgroups of SL (n,Z) which preserve an open nondegenerate convex cone in real n-space and admit in that cone as fundamental domain a polyhedral cone of which some faces are allowed to lie on the boundary. Examples are arithmetic groups acting on selfdual cones, Weyl groups of certain Kac-Moody algebras and do occur in algebraic geometry as the automorphism groups of projective manifolds acting on their ample cones.
