Abstract
We prove that, for any two finite volume hyperbolic -manifolds, the amalgamation of their fundamental groups along any nontrivial geometrically finite subgroup is not LERF. This generalizes the author's previous work on nonLERFness of amalgamations of hyperbolic -manifold groups along abelian subgroups. A consequence of this result is that closed arithmetic hyperbolic -manifolds have nonLERF fundamental groups. Along with the author's previous work, we get that, for any arithmetic hyperbolic manifold with dimension at least , with possible exceptions in -dimensional manifolds defined by the octonion, its fundamental group is not LERF.
