We study a generalization of the Fuchsian triangle groups to the hyperbolic 3-space, namely, the groups generated by half-turns in three hyperbolic lines. The role of the hyperbolic triangles is now played by the right-angled hexagons. This…
We produce a family of new, non arithmetic lattices in PU(2,1). All previously known examples were commensurable with lattices constructed by Picard, Mostow and Deligne-Mostow, and fell into 9 commensurability classes. Our groups produce 5…
We describe a general procedure to produce fundamental domains for complex hyperbolic triangle groups, a class of groups that contains a representative of the commensurability class of every known non-arithmetic lattice in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$.…
We study several explicit finite index subgroups in the known complex hyperbolic lattice triangle groups, and show some of them are neat, some of them have positive first Betti number, some of them have a homomorphisms onto a non-Abelian…
Let $\Delta=\Delta(a,b,c)$ be a hyperbolic triangle group, a Fuchsian group obtained from reflections in the sides of a triangle with angles $\pi/a,\pi/b,\pi/c$ drawn on the hyperbolic plane. We define the arithmetic dimension of $\Delta$…
We study the geometry of nonrelatively hyperbolic groups. Generalizing a result of Schwartz, any quasi-isometric image of a non-relatively hyperbolic space in a relatively hyperbolic space is contained in a bounded neighborhood of a single…
Semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups is a wide class of discrete groups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane which includes arithmetic Fuchsian groups, hyperbolic triangle groups, groups admitting a modular embedding, and others. We introduce a…
In "Non arithmetic super rigid groups: counter examples to Platonov's conjecture" Bass and Lubotzky gave a counter example to Platonov's conjecture by presenting an example of a linear group with super-rigidity which is not an arithmetic…
We obtain infinitely many (non-conjugate) representations of 3-manifold fundamental groups into a lattice in the holomorphic isometry group of complex hyperbolic space. The lattice is an orbifold fundamental group of a branched covering of…
The isometry group of a compact n-dimensional hyperbolic manifold is known to be finite. We show that for every n > 2, every finite group is realized as the full isometry group of some compact hyperbolic n-manifold. The cases n = 2 and n =…
The theory of complex hyperbolic discrete groups is still in its childhood but promises to grow into a rich subfield of geometry. In this paper I will discuss some recent progress that has been made on complex hyperbolic deformations of the…
We show that there are infinitely many commensurability classes of pseudomodular groups, thus answering a question raised by Long and Reid. These are Fuchsian groups whose cusp set is all of the rationals but which are not commensurable to…
We generalise the constructions of Brady and Lodha to give infinite families of hyperbolic groups, each having a finitely presented subgroup that is not of type $F_3$. By calculating the Euler characteristic of the hyperbolic groups…
This is an announcement of some of the results obtained as a part of the second author's Ph.D. thesis. In the first part, we prove that the fundamental group of an acylindrical complex of hyperbolic groups with finite edge groups is…
We consider the automorphism groups of various Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein, Gaussian, and Hurwitz integers, and in some of them we find reflection groups of finite index. These provide new finite-covolume reflection groups…
For $n \ge 2$, we prove that a finite volume complex hyperbolic $n$-manifold containing infinitely many maximal properly immersed totally geodesic submanifolds of dimension at least two is arithmetic, paralleling our previous work for real…
We prove that there are only finitely many closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds with injectivity radius and first eigenvalue of the Laplacian bounded below whose fundamental groups can be generated by a given number of elements. An application to…
We prove that in a cocompact complex hyperbolic arithmetic lattice $\Gamma < {\rm PU}(m,1)$ of the simplest type, deep enough finite index subgroups admit plenty of homomorphisms to $\mathbb{Z}$ with kernel of type $\mathscr{F}_{m-1}$ but…
The compact hyperbolic triangle group $\Delta(p,q,r)$ admits a canonical representation to $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbf{R})$ with discrete image which is unique up to conjugation. The trace field of this representation is \[K =…
We construct the first known infinite family of quasi-isometry classes of subgroups of hyperbolic groups which are not hyperbolic and are of type $\mathrm{FP}(\mathbb{Q})$. We give a simple criterion for producing many non-hyperbolic…
