Abstract

We prove that every arithmetic lattice in PSL(2,C)(2,\mathbb{C}) and every arithmetic lattice of the simplest type in PO(n,1)(n,1), n2n\ge 2, is the normalizer of arbitrarily many of its sublattices. Combined with previous work, this result implies that every lattice in PSL(2,C)(2,\mathbb{C}) has this property. In this way, we prove that the set of profinitely flexible lattices in PSL(2,C)(2,\mathbb{C}) is either empty or countably infinite. Another result is that every finite group is realized as the full isometry group of an arithmetic hyperbolic nn-manifold. The proof of this theorem is based on study of normalizers of lattices and subgroup growth theory.
