چکیده
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 nonuniform arithmetic lattices in PU(n, 1). We also show that for each even n there are arbitrarily large families of nonisomorphic maximal nonuniform lattices in PU(n, 1) of equal covolume.

On the Set of Covolumes of Lattices for Fuchsian Buildings
We construct a nonuniform lattice and an infinite family of uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a Fuchsian building. We use complexes of groups and basic facts about spherical buildings. A consequence is that the set of covolumes of lattices for this building is nondiscrete.
متن کاملLattices Acting on Right-angled Hyperbolic Buildings
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 grou...

متن کاملExistence, covolumes, and infinite generation of lattices for Davis complexes
Let Σ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W, S). The automorphism group G of Σ is naturally a locally compact group, and a simple combinatorial condition due to Haglund– Paulin determines when G is nondiscrete. The Coxeter group W may be regarded as a uniform lattice in G. We show that many such G also admit a nonuniform lattice Γ, and an infinite family of uniform lattices with covolume...
متن کاملCounting Maximal Arithmetic Subgroups Mikhail Belolipetsky with an Appendix by Jordan Ellenberg and Akshay Venkatesh
We study the growth rate of the number of maximal arithmetic subgroups of bounded covolumes in a semi-simple Lie group using an extension of the method due to Borel and Prasad. As an application we prove a nonuniform case of a conjecture of Lubotzky et al. on the growth of lattices in higher rank semi-simple Lie group H, which claims that the growth rate is asymptotically equal to the congruenc...
