On volumes of quasi-arithmetic hyperbolic lattices (Q2412564)

Let \(\mathbb H^n\) be the hyperbolic \(n\)-space, with group of isometries \(G=PO(n,1)\). Let \(k\) be the number field with ring of integers \(\mathcal O_k\). The author proves that the covolume of any quasi-arithmetic hyperbolic lattice is a rational multiple of the covolume of an arithmetic subgroup. As a consequence it is obtained a good description for the shape of the volumes of most of the known hyperbolic \(n\)-manifolds, with \(n>3\). A main effort of this article is to present a proof that includes the more difficult case of nonuniform lattices. The results also show that all covolumes of the quasi-arithmetic torsion-free lattices are integral multiples of a single number. It is not clear if this is true for lattices containing torsion.
