Hyperbolic Tessellations Associated to Bianchi Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Let F/Q be a number field. The space of positive definite binary Hermitian forms over F form an open cone in a real vector space. There is a natural decomposition of this cone into subcones. In the case of an imaginary quadratic field these subcones descend to hyperbolic space to give rise to tessellations of 3-dimensional hyperbolic space by ideal polytopes. We compute the structure of these polytopes for a range of imaginary quadratic fields.

A note on groups of a family of hyperbolic tessellations
In this paper we study the word problem of groups corresponding to tessellations of the hyperbolic plane. In particular using the Fibonacci technology developed by the second author we show that groups corresponding to the pentagrid or the heptagrid are not automatic.

In this paper, we try to give the appropriate class of languages to which belong various objects associated with tessellations in the hyperbolic plane.
متن کاملThe Farrell-jones Isomorphism Conjecture for Finite Co-volume Hyperbolic Actions and the Algebraic K-theory of Bianchi Groups
We prove the Farrell-Jones Isomorphism Conjecture for groups acting on complete hyperbolic manifolds with finite volume orbit space. We then apply this result to show that for any Bianchi group Γ, Wh(Γ), K̃0(ZΓ), and Ki(ZΓ) vanish for i ≤ −1.

Let G be a locally compact Kac-Moody group associated to a symmetrizable rank 3 Kac-Moody algebra of noncompact hyperbolic type. It is known that the fundamental chambers of Weyl groups of certain algebras in this class serve as billiard tables for a physical phenomenon known as cosmological billiards. We discuss the classification of Weyl groups in this class, we determine their group presenta...
