Cohomological gap in arithmetic groups

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$For the sake of this question, let's say that a group $G$ of finite cohomological dimension $n$ has a cohomological gap if for some $0 < i < n$ there is no subgroup $...

Cohomology of cocompact lattices in hyperbolic spaces

I have a (maybe too naive) hope that cocompact torsion-free arithmetic lattices in hyperbolic spaces $X \neq \mathbb{H}_\mathbb{R}^2$ are uniquely determined by their cohomology with coefficients in $\...

Lattices of minimal covolume in $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$

What are the (uniform/non-uniform) irreducible lattices of minimal (or even small) covolume in $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$? Context: Such a lattice will ...

Are finite presentations of arithmetic groups computable?

In this famous paper by Borel and Harish-Chandra, Arithmetic Subgroups of Algebraic Groups, it is proved that, in characterisitic zero, arithmetic groups are finitely presented. I have an extremely ...
