Abstract

Suppose 4n4|n, n8n\geq 8, F=Fn=Q(ζn+ζˉn)F=F_n=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n+\bar{\zeta}_n), and there is one prime p=pn\mathfrak{p}=\mathfrak{p}_n above 22 in FnF_n. We study amalgam presentations for PU2(Z[ζn,1/2])\operatorname{PU_{2}}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n, 1/2]) and PSU2(Z[ζn,1/2])\operatorname{PSU_{2}}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n, 1/2]) with the Clifford-cyclotomic group in quantum computing as a subgroup. These amalgams arise from an action of these groups on the Bruhat-Tits tree Δ=Δp\Delta =\Delta_{\mathfrak{p}} for SL2(Fp)\operatorname{SL_{2}}(F_\mathfrak{p}) constructed via the Hamilton quaternions. We explicitly compute the finite quotient graphs and the resulting amalgams for 8n488\leq n\leq 48, n44n\neq 44, as well as for PU2(Z[ζ60,1/2])\operatorname{PU_{2}}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_{60}, 1/2]).
