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 $S$-...

Examples of discrete subgroups of $PSL_2(\mathbf{R})$ with finite covolume and which are not co-compact
Is there a natural example of a discrete subgroup $\Gamma\leq PSL_2(\mathbf{R})$ such that
(1) $\Gamma$ has finite covolume
(2) $\mathfrak{h}/\Gamma$ is not compact ($\mathfrak{h}$ being the upper ...

Subgroups of $Sp(2n,\mathbb{R})$ between $Sp(2n,\mathbb{Z})$ and some arithmetic group
The fantastic answers to my previous question Subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbb R)$ which contain $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ as a finite index subgroup led me to the following question.
Let $O_K$ be the ring of ...

Non existence of cyclic infinite linear algebraic groups
Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group defined over some algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ and also over some subfield $k\subset \mathbb{K}$. There is thus a natural group structure on the set of $...

Commensurability of arithmetic, irreducible, nonuniform lattices
Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$ be arbitrary. Let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be arbitrary elements of $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ that satisfy $r_1 + r_2 > 0.$ Let $G := {\rm SL}_n(\mathbb{R})^{r_1} \times {\rm SL}...
