The high-dimensional non-reflection lattice conjecture

From papers

There exists an integer NN such that for every nNn\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 nNn\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.
