Mar 14, 2023 at 14:37 comment added Ben Wieland If a stratum has dimension zero, is it arithmetic? Is this a matter of convention? If it is an intrinsic property the locus, they must be arithmetic. A generic hyperelliptic curve is not arithmetic. Its fundamental group can be enlarged to include the hyperelliptic element, which fixes an isolated point.

altering the situation to hopefully make the question more meaningful
Mar 12, 2023 at 20:37 comment added Ethan Dlugie Thank you. I'm also editing the question a bit to restrict to the complex hyperbolic setting (in which I think these issues may disappear?)
Mar 12, 2023 at 18:39 comment added Moishe Kohan I will write an answer of sorts, correcting your question in the process, in a little while.
Mar 12, 2023 at 18:17 comment added Moishe Kohan No, that will not suffice either. The orbifold locus could be a 3-valent graph.

Clarifying the question
Mar 12, 2023 at 17:08 comment added Ethan Dlugie Ah I see. Let me modify my question to request that $M'$ be a connected component of an orbifold locus, that's what I really had in mind.
Mar 12, 2023 at 0:59 comment added Moishe Kohan OK, suppose you have a lattice $\Gamma_0< PSL(2,{\mathbb R})$ uniformizing a hyperelliptic hyperbolic surface $S$. Then $S$ admits a hyperelliptic involution $\tau$. Lifting $\tau$ to the hyperbolic plane, we obtain a lattice $\Gamma< PSL(2,{\mathbb R})$ which contains $\Gamma_0$ as an index 2 subgroup. The quotient $H^2/\Gamma$ is an orbifold $O$ with at least two singular points (projections to $O$ of the fixed-points of $\tau$). Hence, the orbifold locus of $O$ is disconnected, implying that it cannot be a lattice quotient (under the most common definition). Hence, your belief is wrong.
Mar 12, 2023 at 0:22 comment added Ethan Dlugie @MoisheKohan could you elaborate a bit? (Non)arithmetic lattices have come up in the things I've been working on but almost as a side effect rather than the main focus. I'm not an expert.
Mar 11, 2023 at 4:19 comment added Moishe Kohan Are your symmetric spaces required to be connected? If yes, then the answer is clearly negative.
