Abstract

Let 𝐾 be a non-archimedean local field. We show that discrete subgroups without 2-torsion in PSL 2 ⁢ ( K ) can always be lifted to SL 2 ⁢ ( K ) , and provide examples (when char ⁡ ( K ) ≠ 2 ) which cannot be lifted if either of these conditions is removed. We also briefly discuss lifting representations of groups into PSL 2 ⁢ ( K ) to SL 2 ⁢ ( K ) .
