On volumes of arithmetic quotients of S O ( 1 , n )

Mikhail Belolipetsky (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of S O ( 1 , n ) . As a result we prove that for any even dimension  n there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic n -orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an explicit description of their fundamental groups as the stabilizers of certain lattices in quadratic spaces. We...
