چکیده
In this paper we find infinitely many lattices in SL(4,R) each of which contains thin subgroups commensurable with the figure-eight knot group.

The Figure Eight Knot Group is Conjugacy Separable
We prove that torsion free subgroups of PGL2(C) (abstractly) commensurable with the Euclidean Bianchi groups are conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce the result stated in the title.
متن کاملThe fundamental group of the double of the figure eight knot exterior is GFERF

متن کاملComplex hyperbolic geometry of the figure eight knot
We show that the figure eight knot complement admits a uniformizable spherical CR structure, i.e. it occurs as the manifold at infinity of a complex hyperbolic orbifold. The uniformization is unique provided we require the peripheral subgroups to have unipotent holonomy.
متن کاملBranched Spherical Cr Structures on the Complement of the Figure Eight Knot
We obtain a branched spherical CR structure on the complement of the figure eight knot whose holonomy representation was given in [4]. There are essentially two boundary unipotent representations from the complement of the figure eight knot into PU(2, 1), we call them ρ1 and ρ2. We make explicit some fundamental differences between these two representations. For instance, seeing the figure eigh...
متن کاملHyperbolic Geometry on the Figure-Eight Knot Complement
The exact relationship between knot theory and non-euclidean geometry was a puzzle that survived more than 100 years. The histories of the two subjects were clearly intertwined; Carl Friedrich Gauss was a pioneer and did much to popularize both fields. After Gauss their two histories diverge a little, although taken together the list of luminaries in the two fields reads like a mathematical and...
