On Minimal Covolume Hyperbolic Lattices
نویسنده
چکیده
We study lattices with a non-compact fundamental domain of small volume in hyperbolic space Hn. First, we identify the arithmetic lattices in Isom+Hn of minimal covolume for even n up to 18. Then, we discuss the related problem in higher odd dimensions and provide solutions for n = 11 and n = 13 in terms of the rotation subgroup of certain Coxeter pyramid groups found by Tumarkin. The results depend on the work of Belolipetsky and Emery, as well as on the Euler characteristic computation for hyperbolic Coxeter polyhedra with few facets by means of the program CoxIter developed by Guglielmetti. This work complements the survey about hyperbolic orbifolds of minimal volume.

Covolumes of nonuniform lattices in PU(n, 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 minimal covolume as n varies. In particular, there is a unique lattice (up to isomorphism) in PU(9, 1) of smallest Euler–Poincaré characteristic amongst all no...
متن کاملThe Leech Lattice and Complex Hyperbolic Re ections
We construct a natural sequence of nite-covolume reeection groups acting on the complex hy-perbolic spaces C H 13 , C H 9 and C H 5 , and show that the 9-dimensional example coincides with the largest of the groups of Mostow 10]. These reeection groups arise as automorphism groups of certain Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein integers, and we obtain our largest example by using the complex...
متن کاملCovolumes of Uniform Lattices Acting on Polygonal Complexes
Let X be a polygonal complex with finitely many isometry classes of links. We establish a restriction on the covolumes of uniform lattices acting on X. When all links of X are isometric, and are either a complete bipartite graph or the building for a Chevalley group of rank 2 over a field of prime order, we obtain further restrictions on covolumes. Some of these restrictions are sharp: in [Th] ...
متن کاملLattices in Hyperbolic Buildings
This survey is intended as a brief introduction to the theory of hyperbolic buildings and their lattices. Hyperbolic buildings are negatively curved geometric objects which also have a rich algebraic and combinatorial structure, and the study of these buildings and the lattices in their automorphism groups involves a fascinating mixture of techniques from many different areas of mathematics. Ro...
متن کاملRe ection Groups on the Octave Hyperbolic
For two diierent integral forms K of the exceptional Jordan algebra we show that Aut K is generated by octave reeections. These providègeometric' examples of discrete reeection groups acting with nite covolume on the octave (or Cayley) hyperbolic plane O H 2 , the exceptional rank one symmetric space. (The isometry group of the plane is the exceptional Lie group F 4(?20) .) Our groups are deene...
