We show that all the currently known non-arithmetic lattices in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ are monodromy groups of higher hypergeometric functions.
We study the arithmeticity of the Couwenberg-Heckman-Looijenga lattices in PU(n,1), and show that they contain a non-arithmetic lattice in PU(3,1) which is not commensurable to the non-arithmetic Deligne-Mostow lattice in PU(3,1).
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 consider a certain hybridization construction which produces a subgroup of ${\rm PU}(n,1)$ from a pair of lattices in ${\rm PU}(n-1,1)$. Among the Picard modular groups ${\rm PU}(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d)$, we show that the hybrid of pairs of…
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…
We show that the number of noncommensurable lattices, hence also that of maximal lattices in SO(1,n) is at least exponential. To do so we construct large families of noncommensurable hybrid hyperbolic (Gromov/Piatetski-Shapiro) manifolds.
We show that the non-arithmetic lattices in PO(n,1) of Belolipetsky and Thomson (2011), obtained as fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic manifolds with short systole, are quasi-arithmetic in the sense of Vinberg, and, by contrast, the…
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 ${\rm PU}(2,1)$.…
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…
Using conjugation of Shimura varieties, we produce nonisomorphic, cocompact, torsion-free lattices in $\mathrm{PU}(n,1)$ with isomorphic profinite completions for all $n \ge 2$. This disproves a conjecture of D. Kazhdan and gives the first…
The principle result of this article is the determination of the possible finite subgroups of arithmetic lattices in U(2,1).
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…
We study representations of lattices of PU(m,1) into PU(n,1). We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m-space to complex…
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…
Complex hyperbolic triangle groups were first considered by Mostow in building the first nonarithmetic lattices in PU(2, 1). They are a natural generalization of the classical triangle groups acting on the hyperbolic plane. A well-known…
We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained…
A class of complex hyperbolic lattices in PU(2,1) called the Deligne-Mostow lattices has been reinterpreted by Hirzebruch and others in terms of line arrangements. They use branched covers over a suitable blow up of the complete…
We study rigidity properties of lattices in hyperbolic n-space with n>2 and of surface groups in the context of (integrable) measure equivalence. The results for lattices in hyperbolic n-space with n>2 are generalizations of Mostow…
We construct two infinite families of ball quotient compactifications birational to bielliptic surfaces. For each family, the volume spectrum of the associated noncompact finite volume ball quotient surfaces is the set of all positive…
In this paper we produce many examples of thin subgroups of special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds. Specifically, we show that the non-arithmetic lattices in…
