Lattices in the four-dimensional split oscillator group

Abstract

Besides the oscillator group, there is another four-dimensional non-abelian solvable Lie group that admits a bi-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. It is called split oscillator group (sometimes also hyperbolic oscillator group or Boidol's group). We parametrise the set of lattices in this group and develop a method to classify these lattices up automorphisms of the ambient group. We show that their commensurability classes are in bijection with the set of real quadratic fields.
