Presentations: from Kac-Moody groups to profinite and back

We go back and forth between, on the one hand, presentations of arithmetic and Kac-Moody groups and, on the other hand, presentations of profinite groups, deducing along the way new results on both

Cocompact lattices in locally pro-p-complete rank-2 Kac-Moody groups

We initiate an investigation of lattices in a new class of locally compact groups: so-called locally pro-p-complete Kac-Moody groups. We discover that in rank 2 their cocompact lattices are particularly well- behaved: under mild assumptions, a cocompact lattice in this completion contains no elements of order p. This statement is still an open question for the Caprace-Rémy-Ronan completion. Using this, modulo results of Capdeboscq and Thomas, we classify edge-transitive cocompact lattices and describe a cocompact lattice of minimal covolume. Bibliography: 22 titles
