In this work, we construct fundamental domains for congruence subgroups of $SL_2(F_q[t])$ and $PGL_2(F_q[t])$. Our method uses Gekeler's description of the fundamental domains on the Bruhat- Tits tree $X = X_{q+1}$ in terms of cosets of…

Let $B$ be a totally-definite quaternion algebra over a totally real field $F$, let $\mathfrak{p}$ be a prime ideal of $F$, and let $\Gamma$ be the group of reduced norm-$1$ elements of an Eichler $\mathcal{O}_F[1/\mathfrak{p}]$-order $R$…

For a subgroup of $PGL(2,q)$ we show how some irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ arise from the field of invariant rational functions. The proofs rely on two actions of $PGL(2,F)$, one on the projective line over a field $F$ and…

This paper explores a natural action of the group $\mathrm{PGL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ on the set of monic irreducible polynomials of degree at least two over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. Our main results deal with the existence and number of…

Let $P\in\mathbb{P}_1(\mathbb{Q})$ be a periodic point for a monic polynomial with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$. With elementary techniques one sees that the minimal periodicity of $P$ is at most $2$. Recently we proved a generalization of…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the finite field with $q^n$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime. This paper introduces a natural action of the Projective Semilinear Group $\text{P}\Gamma \text{L}(2,…

The main aim of this paper is to give two infinite series of examples of Lorentz space forms that can be obtained from Lorentz polyhedra by identification of faces. These Lorentz space forms are bi-quotients of the form $\Gamma_1\backslash…

Let $G=SO(3,C)$, $\Gamma=SO(3,Z[i])$, $K=SO(3)$, and let $X$ be the locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$. In this paper, we write down explicit equations defining a fundamental domain for the action of $\Gamma$ on $G/K$. The…

We describe an algorithm for computing certain quaternionic quotients of the Bruhat-Tits tree for GL2(Qp). As an application, we describe an algorithm to obtain (conjectural) equations for the canonical embedding of Shimura curves.

We initiate a study of the spectral theory of the locally symmetric space $X=\Gamma\backslash G/K$, where $G=SO(3,Complex)$, $\Gamma=SO(3,Z[i])$, $K=SO{3}$. We write down explicit equations defining a fundamental domain for the action of…

We continue investigations started by Lakeland on Fuchsian and Kleinian groups which have a Dirichlet fundamental domain that also is a Ford domain in the upper half-space model of hyperbolic $2$- and $3$-space, or which have a Dirichlet…

A new proof is given for the correctness of the powers of two descent method for computing discrete logarithms. The result is slightly stronger than the original work, but more importantly we provide a unified geometric argument,…

We show by means of various examples that many of the current definitions of the notion of fundamental domain of a Fuchsian group lack an extra condition ensuring that the domain differs from a measurable fundamental set at most by a null…
