The Borel-Serre partial compactification gives cofinite models for the proper classifying space for arithmetic lattices. Non-arithmetic lattices arise only in semisimple Lie groups of ${\mathbb{R}}$-rank one. The author generalizes the Borel-Serre partial compactification to construct cofinite models for the proper classifying space for lattices in semisimple Lie groups of ${\mathbb{R}}$-rank one by using the reduction theory of Garland and Raghunathan.

In this paper, when G is a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group of dimension less than or equal to four, we study the uniform lattices Γ of G up to isomorphism and then we study the structure of the automorphism group Aut(Γ) of Γ from the viewpoint of splitting as a natural extension.
