چکیده

We will say that a smooth projective complex algebraic variety V (of dimension n − 1) is a fake Pn−1 if V is the quotient of the unit ball Bn−1 by a torsion-free cocompact discrete subgroup of PU(n − 1, 1), and all the Betti numbers of V are equal to those of Pn−1 C . If the fundamental goup of a fake P n−1 is an arithmetic subgroup of PU(n − 1, 1), then we will say that it is an arithmetic fake Pn−1. It follows from the results of this paper that arithmetic fake Pn−1 can exist only if n = 3 or 5. We have shown in [PY] that there are twelve distinct classes of fake P. We will show here that there exists an arithmetic fake P (in fact, there are four distinct classes of these varieties).

We will say that a smooth complex projective algebraic variety V (of dimension n− 1) is a fake Pn−1 if V is the quotient of the unit ball Bn−1 in Cn−1by a torsion-free cocompact discrete subgroup of PU(n−1, 1), and all the Betti numbers of V are equal to those of Pn−1 C . If the fundamental group of a fake Pn−1 is an arithmetic subgroup of PU(n − 1, 1), then we will say that it is an arithmetic...

On the Growth of Torsion in the Cohomology of Arithmetic Groups

Let G be a semisimple Lie group with associated symmetric space D, and let Γ ⊂ G be a cocompact arithmetic group. Let L be a lattice inside a ZΓ-module arising from a rational finite-dimensional complex representation of G. Bergeron and Venkatesh recently gave a precise conjecture about the growth of the order of the torsion subgroup Hi(Γk;L )tors as Γk ranges over a tower of congruence subgrou...

Small Generators of Cocompact Arithmetic Fuchsian Groups

In the study of Fuchsian groups, it is a nontrivial problem to determine a set of generators. Using a dynamical approach we construct for any cocompact arithmetic Fuchsian group a fundamental region in SL2(R) from which we determine a set of small generators.

Cusp and b1 growth for ball quotients and maps onto Z with finitely generated kernel

Let M = B/Γ be a smooth ball quotient of finite volume with first betti number b1(M) and let E(M) ≥ 0 be the number of cusps (i.e., topological ends) of M . We study the growth rates that are possible in towers of finite-sheeted coverings of M . In particular, b1 and E have little to do with one another, in contrast with the well-understood cases of hyperbolic 2and 3-manifolds. We also discuss ...

Infinite topology of curve complexes and non-Poincaré duality of Teichmüller modular groups

Let S be an orientable surface. Let Diff(S) be the group of all diffeomorphisms of S, and Diff(S) its identity component. Then Mod±S = Diff(S)/Diff (S) is called the extended mapping class group or the extended Teichmüller modular group of S. Let Diff(S) be the subgroup of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of S. Then Mod(S) = Diff(S)/Diff(S) is called the mapping class group or the Teichmü...
