Is the image of an $S$-arithmetic subgroup under a surjective $k$-morphism $S$-arithmetic?
Let $k$ be a global field and let $S$ be a non-empty set of places containing all archimedean ones. Suppose $f:G\to H$ is a surjective $k$-morphism of $k$-groups and let $\Gamma\leq G(k)$ be an $S$-...

Unitary representations of lattices
Let $G$ be a simple linear group over a non-archimedean local field $F$.
Assume that the split-rank over $F$ is at least 2.
Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$. Then $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated ...

Examples of groups for which Margulis superrigidity theorem applies
I am not an expert at all in the subject of Lie groups, lattices, arithmetic groups and rigidity. But, lately I am interested in Margulis superrigidity theorem, which in most versions can be stated as ...

Stabilizer in $G(\mathbb{Z})$ of point in fundamental domain $G(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash G(\mathbb{R}) / K$
Let $G$ be a semisimple group (the cases of primary interest to me are where $G$ is a special linear group or a special orthogonal group), let $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G(\mathbb{R})$, and ...

Question about lattice with dense projection
Let $H\subset \operatorname{GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ be a connected, semisimple algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. Fix a number field $K$ with $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=3$ that is not totally real. Denote its ...

Does the standard arithmetic subgroup of a closed $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic groups have non-trivial $\mathbb{Q}$-characters?
I am trying to understand the Borel-Harish Chandra theorem about arithmetic subgroups being lattices.
Suppose $G$ is an algebraic group inside $GL_n(\mathbb{C})$ such that it is definable as a zero ...
