Examples of the Thurston geometries with transitive Lie group action

Here are some examples of compact homogeneous 3 manifolds for different Thurston geometries: (1) Spherical: $\mathbb{S}^3 \cong \mathrm{SU}_2$ modulo any finite subgroup (2) Euclidean: 3 torus $\...

Hyperbolic manifolds with infinite cyclic fundamental group

It is a well known fact that there is a correspondence between complete hyperbolic $n$-manifolds up to isometry and discrete subgroups of isometries of the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ that act ...

Hyperbolic $3$-manifold groups that embed in compact Lie groups

Is there a closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold whose fundamental group is isomorphic to a subgroup of some compact Lie group? It is known that every surface group can be embedded into any semisimple ...
