Stable splittings of the Bianchi groups
The Bianchi groups are a collection of matrix groups that can be thought of as
generalizations of PSL2(ℤ), which can be built out of finite groups using algebraic
constructions like the amalgamated product and the HNN extension. When a Bianchi
group Γ’s classifying space is suspended, the space often splits into a wedge of pieces
that reflect Γ’s finite subgroups. In this talk, we will review previous work in this
vein and produce stable splittings for various members of the Bianchi group
family.
