<p>It is known that for each genus, only finitely many points in the moduli space of hyperbolic genus g surfaces are arithmetic. I'm wondering if an existence result is known: for which g do we have examples of arithmetic Fuchsian genus g surface groups? What about surfaces with boundary? </p>

<p>If there is an arithmetic group of genus $2$ (which there is, see <a href="http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/aa/aa86/aa8626.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/aa/aa86/aa8626.pdf</a>), then there are such of all genera, by taking finite index subgroups. The argument for non-uniform (cusped) groups is the same. The question for maximal such groups is more interesting, and I am not sure what the answer is...</p>
