Two series of polyhedral fundamental domains for Lorentz bi-quotients (Q2304639)

The paper under review concerns the theory of Lorentz space forms. Namely, it deals with Lorentz space forms obtained as biquotients $\Gamma_1\backslash G \slash\Gamma_2$ are considered, where $G=\widetilde{\operatorname{SU}(1,1)}$, $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are discrete subgroups of $G$, and Lorentz metrics are generated by Killing forms on $G$. A general construction of polyhedral fundamental domains for the action of $\Gamma_1\times \Gamma_2$ on $G$ was proposed in [the second author, Differ. Geom. Appl. 29, No. 4, 507--515 (2011; Zbl 1239.53091)], see also [the second author, Geom. Dedicata 126, 155--175 (2007; Zbl 1130.53051)]. In the present paper, this construction is described explicitly for two particular series of subgroups $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ so that the corresponding biquotients $\Gamma_1\backslash G \slash\Gamma_2$ are represented as specific polyhedra with faces identified according to some gluing rules. Besides, relations of the biquotients in question to quasi-homogeneous $\mathbb Q$-Gorenstein surface singularities are discussed.
