Is there a notion of hyperbolicity for number rings?

For algebraic curves over a nice enough field $k$, we have a notion of what it means to be hyperbolic: If $\overline{C}$ is a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ and $P_1,\dots,P_n$ are closed points,...

$K$-ranks of some algebraic groups in Lubotzky's "Discrete groups, expanding graphs and invariant measures"

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group and $K$ any field. Then the $K$-rank of $G$ is the maximal rank $r$ of a $K$-splitting torus $T \cong (K^...

Compactifications of group schemes

Let $G$ be a group scheme over a scheme $S$ which is the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring. Let $\eta$ (resp. $s$) be the generic (resp. closed) point. Assume that the generic fiber $G_{\eta}$ is ...
