Abstract
In the first part of this paper, we determine the asymptotic subgroup growth of the fundamental group of a torus knot complement. In the second part, we use this to study random finite degree covers of torus knot complements. We determine their Benjamini–Schramm limit and the linear growth rate of the Betti numbers of these covers. All these results generalise to a larger class of lattices in . As a by-product of our proofs, we obtain analogous limit theorems for high index random subgroups of non-uniform Fuchsian lattices with torsion.
