We prove that PSL(2,Z[1/p]) gives the first example of groups which are not quasi-isometric to each other but have the same quasi-isometry group. Namely, PSL(2,Z[1/p]) and PSL(2,Z[1/q]) are not quasi-isometric unless p=q, and, independent of p, the quasi-isometry group of PSL(2,Z[1/p]) is PSL(2,Q). In addition, we char…
We study the covolumes of arithmetic lattices in PSL2(R)n for n≥2 and identify uniform and non-uniform irreducible lattices of minimal covolume. More precisely, let μ be the Euler-Poincaré measure on PSL2(R)n and χ=μ/2n. We show that the Hilbert modular group $PSL_2(\mathfrak o_{k_{49…
For null curves in PSL(2,C), there exists a representation formula in terms of two meromorphic functions and their derivatives (Small's formula). In this paper, we give an elementary proof of Small's formula. Moreover, a similar formula for Legendrian curves in PSL(2,C) is given. As null curves in PSL(2,C) are related …
While lattices in semi-simple Lie groups are studied very well, only little is known about discrete subgroups of infinite covolume. The main class of examples are Schottky groups. Here we investigate some new examples. We consider subgroups Γ of arithmetic groups in PSL(2,C)q×PSL(2,R)r with q+r>1 and the…
If Γ<PSL(2,C) is a lattice, we define an invariant of a representation Γ→PSL(n,C) using the Borel class β(n)∈Hc3(PSL(n,C),R). We show that the invariant is bounded and its maximal value is attained by conjugation of t…
We show that a PSL(2;R)-representation of a Fuchsian group induces the asymptotics of the Reidemeister torsion for the Seifert manifold corresponding to the euler class of the PSL(2;R)-representation. We also show that the limit of leading coefficient of the Reidemeister torsion is determined by the euler class of a PS…
In this note, we give an explicit counterexample to the simple loop conjecture for representations of surface groups into PSL(2,R). Specifically, we show that for any surface with negative Euler characteristic and genus at least 1, there are uncountably many non-conjugate, non-injective homomorphisms of its fundamental…
Let M be a complete oriented hyperbolic 3--manifold of finite volume. Using classifying spaces for families of subgroups we construct a class βP(M) in the Adamson relative homology group H3([PSL2(C):Pˉ];Z), where Pˉ is the subgroup of parabolic transformations which fix ∞…
We describe in parallel the Lorentzian homogeneous spaces G=PSL(2,R) and g=psl(2,R), and review some recent results relating the geometry of their quotients by discrete groups.
Let e denote the Euler class on the space Hom(Γg,PSL(2,R)) of representations of the fundamental group Γg of the closed surface Σg of genus g. Goldman showed that the connected components of Hom(Γg,PSL(2,R)) are precisely the inverse images e−1(k), for 2−2g≤k≤2g−2, and t…
We study the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant of the Dirac operator over cofinite quotient of PSL(2,R), which is a noncompact manifold with a nonexact fibred-cusp metric near the ends.
Let G be a lattice in PSL(2,C). The pro-normal topology on G is defined by taking all cosets of non-trivial normal subgroups as a basis. This topology is finer than the pro-finite topology, but it is not discrete. We prove that every finitely generated subgroup H<G is closed in the pro-normal topology. As a corollary w…
Let M be a nontrivial compression body without toroidal boundary components. We study the dynamics of the group of outer automorphisms of the fundamental group of M on the PSL(2,C)-character variety of M.
In this paper we are interested in computing representations of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold into PSL(3;C) (in particular in PSL(2;C); PSL(3;R) and PU(2; 1)). The representations are obtained by gluing decorated tetrahedra of flags. We list complete computations (giving 0-dimensional or 1-dimensional solution …
We construct infinitely many noncommensurable non-cocompact Fuchsian groups Δ of finite covolume sitting in PSL(2,Q) so that the set of hyperbolic fixed points of Δ will contain a given finite collection of elements in the boundary of the hyperbolic plane.
For an oriented surface of genus g with b boundary components, we construct a rational map from a subset of C^{6g-6+3b} onto an open algebraic subset of the PSL(2,C)-character variety as an analogue of the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates. After taking the quotient by an action of a finite group, we obtain a parametrization…
