Baily–Borel compactification

Baily–Borel compactification   (Redirected from Baily–Borel theorem) Jump to navigation Jump to search In mathematics, the Baily–Borel compactification is a compactification of a quotient of a Hermitian symmetric space by an arithmetic group, introduced by Walter L. Baily and Armand Borel (1964, 1966).

Example If C is the quotient of the upper half plane by a congruence subgroup of SL2(Z), then the Baily–Borel compactification of C is formed by adding a finite number of cusps to it.
