The high-dimensional non-reflection lattice conjecture

At least 6 years old · documented by

There exists an integer NN such that for every n≥Nn\ge N and every lattice Γ<PU⁡(n,1)\Gamma<\operatorname{PU}(n,1), the following hold: Γ\Gamma is not a reflection subgroup, and the underlying space of the orbifold MΓM_\Gamma is not a rational algebraic variety. More ambitiously, that underlying space is a variety of general type. High-dimensional non-reflection lattice conjecture. Such an NN exists and these assertions hold for all n≥Nn\ge N. The conjecture is motivated by the known nonarithmetic examples in dimensions 22 and 33, which are commensurable with complex reflection subgroups and have rational projective underlying spaces; the proposed obstruction concerns sufficiently high dimensions and remains open.
