A Construction of Lattices for Certain Hyperbolic Buildings
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a nonuniform lattice and an infinite family of uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a hyperbolic building with all links a fixed finite building of rank 2 associated to a Chevalley group. We use complexes of groups and basic facts about spherical buildings.

— This paper deals with a class of totally disconnected groups acting on buildings, among which are certain Kac-Moody groups. The apartments of our buildings are hyperbolic planes tiled by right-angled polygons. We discuss linearity properties for the groups, as well as an analogy with semisimple groups over local fields of positive characteristic. Looking for counter-examples to this analogy l...
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 کاملHyperbolic Triangular Buildings Without Periodic Planes of Genus 2
We study surface subgroups of groups acting simply transitively on vertex sets of certain hyperbolic triangular buildings. The study is motivated by Gromov’s famous surface subgroup question: Does every oneended hyperbolic group contain a subgroup which is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus at least 2? In [10] and [3] the authors constructed and classified all grou...
متن کاملUniform Lattices Acting on Some Hyperbolic Buildings
Let X be a 2-dimensional right-angled hyperbolic building. We characterise the set of covolumes of uniform lattices in Aut(X). We also show that the group Aut(X) admits an infinite ascending tower of uniform lattices.
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] ...
