Lattices Acting on Right-angled Hyperbolic Buildings

چکیده
Let X be a right-angled hyperbolic building. We show that the lattices in Aut(X) share many properties with tree lattices. For example, we characterise the set of covolumes of uniform and of nonuniform lattices in Aut(X), and show that the group Aut(X) admits an infinite ascending tower of uniform and of nonuniform lattices. These results are proved by constructing a functor from graphs of groups to complexes of groups.

Uniform 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 کاملInfinite generation of non-cocompact lattices on right-angled buildings
Tree lattices have been well-studied (see [BL]). Less understood are lattices on higherdimensional CAT(0) complexes. In this paper, we consider lattices on X a locally finite, regular right-angled building (see Davis [D] and Section 1 below). Examples of such X include products of locally finite regular or biregular trees, or Bourdon’s building Ip,q [B], which has apartments hyperbolic planes t...
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 کاملTopological Groups of Kac-moody Type, Fuchsian Twinnings and Their Lattices
— 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...
