This monograph extends this approach to the more general investigation of -lattices, and these "tree lattices" are the main object of study. The authors present a coherent survey of the results on uniform tree lattices, and a (previously unpublished) development of the theory of non-uniform tree lattices, including some fundamental and recently proved existence theorems. should be a helpful resource to researcher sin the field, and may also be used for a graduate course on geometric methods in group theory.
