Algebraic Groups Constructed From Rings with Involution
Abstract
We define a class of groups constructed from rings equipped with an involution. We show that under suitable conditions, these groups are either algebraic or arithmetic, including as special cases the orientation-preserving isometry group of hyperbolic 4-space, $SL(2,R)$ for any commutative ring $R$, various symplectic and orthogonal groups, and an important class of arithmetic subgroups of $SO^+(4,1)$. We investigate when such groups are isomorphic and conjugate, and relate this to problem of determining when hyperbolic $4$-orbifolds are homotopic.
