Abstract

This paper is a follow-up to the paper I. Agol, M. Belolipetsky, P. Storm, K. Whyte, Finiteness of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups, Groups, Geometry, and Dynamics 2 (2008), 481–498. The main purpose is to investigate the effective side of the method developed there and its possible application to the problem of classification of arithmetic hyperbolic reection groups.
