Abstract

Let Λ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO ( n + 1 , 1 ) . The quotient n + 1 / Λ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to ideals in a ring of integers. We establish a super-strong approximation result for Zariski-dense Λ with some additional regularity and thickness properties. Concretely, this asserts a quantitative spectral gap for the Laplacian operators on the congruence covers. This generalizes results of Sarnak and Xue (1991) and Gamburd (2002).
