Non-arithmetic lattices.
Vinberg, …
Margulis’ amazing arithmeticity theorem says that irreducible lattices in Lie groups of high (
) rank are arithmetic. But
has rank 1, so a question is how to produce non-arithmetic lattices. For
, there are non-arithmetic lattices coming from hyperbolic knot complements.
G—P-S produces higher dimensional examples by taking two hyperbolic (arithmetic) manifolds, cutting along totally geodesic hypersurfaces, and gluing. Are there are examples of non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds without any totally geodesics hypersurfaces?
There are complements of
’s in
which are hyperbolic, and maybe these would provide some examples.
