Feb 17, 2013 at 7:18 comment added Venkataramana Yes, for some (many) lattices in $SU(n,1)$ and $SO(n,1)$ one has infinite abelianisation. Don't know what happens for $Sp(n,1)$ lattices (or lattices in the real rank one form of $F_4$).
Feb 17, 2013 at 6:27 comment added Misha Such decompositions of course exist for some rank 1 lattices: The ones with infinite abelianization. Maybe this is the reason the question was asked in the higher rank case.
Feb 17, 2013 at 6:07 comment added Venkataramana Sorry; I don't know if this is true for $SL_2({\mathbb Z})$. Since this is asked for higher rank lattices, I suspect that perhaps for real rank one lattices, it may be false.
Feb 17, 2013 at 5:56 comment added Misha Aakumadula: Do you know the answer even for $SL(2,Z)$? At least, I do not see an obvious way to find an AH-decomposition as the group has finite abelianization.

effected some changes suggested by some comments
Feb 17, 2013 at 5:26 comment added Misha You should add the assumption that the lattice is irreducible and in a semisimple Lie group.
