Some noncoherent, nonpositively curved Kähler groups (Q515309)

Summary: If \(\Gamma\) is any nonuniform lattice in the group \(\mathrm{PU}(2,1)\), let \(\overline{\Gamma}\) be the quotient of \(\Gamma\) obtained by filling the cusps of \(\Gamma\) (i.e. killing the center of parabolic subgroups). Assuming that such a lattice \(\Gamma\) has positive first Betti number, we prove that for any sufficiently deep subgroup of finite index \(\Gamma_{1} < \Gamma\), the group \(\overline{\Gamma_{1}}\) is noncoherent. The proof relies on previous work of \textit{M. Kapovich} [Geom. Topol. 17, No. 1, 39--71 (2013; Zbl 1288.11041)] as well as of \textit{C. Hummel} and \textit{V. Schroeder} [Invent. Math. 123, No. 2, 283--307 (1996; Zbl 0860.53025)].
