Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give presentations for projective SS-unit groups of the Hurwitz order in Hamilton's quaternions over the rational field Q\mathbb{Q}. To our knowledge, this provides the first explicit presentations of an SS-arithmetic lattice in a semisimple Lie group with SS large. In particular, we give presentations for groups acting irreducibly and cocompactly on a product of Bruhat--Tits trees. We also include some discussion and experimentation related to the congruence subgroup problem, which is open when SS contains at least two odd primes. In the appendix, we provide code that allows the reader to compute presentations for an arbitrary finite set SS.
