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…
We prove that the covolume of any quasi-arithmetic hyperbolic lattice (a notion that generalizes the definition of arithmetic subgroups) is a rational multiple of the covolume of an arithmetic subgroup. As a corollary, we obtain a good…
For each integer $n \geq 3$, we exhibit a nonuniform arithmetic lattice in $\mathrm{SO}(n,1)$ containing Zariski-dense surface subgroups.
This paper studies the covolumes of nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We determine the smallest covolume nonuniform arithmetic lattices for each n, the number of minimal covolume lattices for each n, and study the growth of the…
We compute the hyperbolic covolume of the automorphism group of each even unimodular Lorentzian lattice. The result is obtained as a consequence of a previous work with Belolipetsky, which uses Prasad's volume to compute the volumes of the…
The objective of this paper is to determine the lattices of minimal covolume in SL_n(R), for n greater than 3. The answer turns out to be the simplest one: SL_n(Z) is, up to automorphism, the unique lattice of minimal covolume in SL_n(R).…
We apply G. Prasad's volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of SO(1,n). As a result we prove that for any even dimension n there exists a…
We introduce and motivate a notion of pseudo-arithmeticity, which possibly applies to all lattices in $\mathrm{PO}(n,1)$ with $n>3$. We further show that under an additional assumption (satisfied in all known cases), the covolumes of these…
A classic theorem of Kazhdan and Margulis states that for any semisimple Lie group without compact factors, there is a positive lower bound on the covolume of lattices. H. C. Wang's subsequent quantitative analysis showed that the…
We prove noncoherence of certain families of lattices in the isometry group of the hyperbolic n-space for n greater than 3. For instance, every nonuniform arithmetic lattice in SO(n,1) is noncoherent, provided that n is at least 6.
We develop a new method of constructing non-arithmetic lattices in the projective orthogonal group $\text{PO}(n,1)$ for every integer $n$ larger than one. The technique is to consider anti-holomorphic involutions on a complex arithmetic…
Using the rings of Lipschitz and Hurwitz integers $\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z})$ and $\mathbb{H}ur(\mathbb{Z})$ in the quaternion division algebra $\mathbb{H}$, we define several Kleinian discrete subgroups of $PSL(2,\mathbb{H})$
We prove, under the assumption of the virtual fibration conjecture for arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds, that all arithmetic lattices in O(n,1), n> 4, and different from 7, are non-coherent. We also establish noncoherence of uniform…
By use of H. C. Wang's bound on the radius of a ball embedded in the fundamental domain of a lattice of a semisimple Lie group, we construct an explicit lower bound for the volume of a quaternionic hyperbolic orbifold that depends only on…
In this paper we use techniques from convex projective geometry to produce many new examples of thin subgroups of lattices in special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. More…
In [BGLM] and [GLNP] it was conjectured that if $H$ is a simple Lie group of real rank at least 2, then the number of conjugacy classes of (arithmetic) lattices in $H$ of covolume at most $x$ is $x^{(\gamma(H)+o(1))\log x/\log\log x}$ where…
Let $\rho$ be a maximal representation of a uniform lattice $\Gamma\subset{\rm SU}(n,1)$, $n\geq 2$, in a classical Lie group of Hermitian type $H$. We prove that necessarily $H={\rm SU}(p,q)$ with $p\geq qn$ and there exists a holomorphic…
In this paper we derive an explicit lower bound on the volume of a hyperbolic $n$-orbifold for dimensions greater than or equal to four. Our main tool is H. C. Wang's bound on the radius of a ball embedded in the fundamental domain of a…
This paper is concerned with discrete, uniform subgroups (lattices) of oscillator groups, which are certain semidirect products of the Heisenberg group and the additive group of real numbers. The present paper rectifies the uncertainties in…
We show the local rigidity of complex hyperbolic lattices in classical Hermitian semisimple Lie groups, $SU(np,p), Sp(2n+2,\mathbb R), SO^*(2n+2), SO(2n,2)$. This reproves or generalizes some results in \cite{GM, KKP, Klingler-inv,…
