Complex hyperbolic and projective deformations of small Bianchi groups (2208.14499v1)

Published 30 Aug 2022 in math.GT and math.GR

Abstract: The Bianchi groups ${\rm Bi}(d)={\rm PSL}(2,\mathcal{O}_d) < {\rm PSL}(2,\C)$ (where $\mathcal{O}_d$ denotes the ring of integers of $\Q (i\sqrt{d})$, with $d \geqslant 1$ squarefree) can be viewed as subgroups of ${\rm SO}(3,1)$ under the isomorphism ${\rm PSL}(2,\C) \simeq {\rm SO}0(3,1)$. We study the deformations of these groups into the larger Lie groups ${\rm SU}(3,1)$ and ${\rm SL}(4,\R)$ for small values of $d$. In particular we show that ${\rm Bi}(3)$, which is rigid in ${\rm SO}(3,1)$, admits a 1-dimensional deformation space into ${\rm SU}(3,1)$ and ${\rm SL}(4,\R)$, whereas any deformation of ${\rm Bi}(1)$ into ${\rm SU}(3,1)$ or ${\rm SL}(4,\R)$ is conjugate to one inside ${\rm SO}(3,1)$. We also show that none of the deformations into ${\rm SU}(3,1)$ are both discrete and faithful.
