Category Conferences - Seminars
In the focus are hyperbolic Coxeter groups
of finite covolume. These are groups generated by finitely
many reflections in the facets of a finite volume
hyperbolic n-polyhedron whose dihedral angles are
submultiples of pi.

First, I shall present the most important features and
discuss their natural appearance in the realm of
hyperbolic orbifolds of small volume.
Of particular arithmetic interest are growth properties
of Coxeter groups acting with finite covolume on
hyperbolic spaces of small dimensions.
In the second half, I shall present some recent results.
