Abstract

If Γ\Gamma is any nonuniform lattice in the group PU(2,1){\rm PU}(2,1), let Γ\overline{\Gamma} be the quotient of Γ\Gamma obtained by filling the cusps of Γ\Gamma (i.e. killing the center of parabolic subgroups). Assuming that such a lattice Γ\Gamma has positive first Betti number, we prove that for any sufficiently deep subgroup of finite index Γ1<Γ\Gamma_{1} < \Gamma, the group Γ1\overline{\Gamma_{1}} is noncoherent. The proof relies on previous work of M. Kapovich as well as of C. Hummel and V. Schroeder.
