Nil 3-manifolds and cusps of complex hyperbolic surfaces (2411.15345v1)

Abstract: McReynolds showed that every compact Nil 3-manifold occurs as the cusp cross-section of some arithmetic complex hyperbolic 2-manifold. We classify which commensurability classes of cusped, arithmetic, complex hyperbolic 2-manifolds admit cusps with cross-section homeomorphic to a given compact Nil 3-manifold. In particular, there are some Nil 3-manifolds which occur as cusps in every such commensurability class, and some which only occur in a single commensurability class. We also show that every compact Nil 3-manifold occurs as the cusp cross-section of some non-arithmetic complex hyperbolic 2-manifold.
