| Oct 17, 2010 at 20:32 | comment | added | Tim Perutz | Ghys's work starts from the fact that non-degenerate lattices up to scale form the complement of a trefoil knot in $S^3$. That knot is not preserved by the Hopf $S^1$-action, which instead traces out unknots. This seems inauspicious for a nice lattice interpretation of the circle-action... | |
