Arithmetic groups and integral points of integral structures
If $\mathbf{G}$ is an algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, a subgroup of $\mathbf{G}(\mathbb{Q})$ is arithmetic if it is commensurable to $\mathbf{G}(\mathbb{Q}) \cap \operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{...

Commensurator of a subgroup of matrices
Let $k$ be a totally real number field and let $\mathcal{O}_k$ denote its ring of integers. If $H$ is a subgroup of $\text{GL}(n, \mathbb{R})$ let denote with $H(k)$ and $H(\mathcal{O}_k)$ the ...

If $G$ is absolutely simple simply connected, why is G(F_v) quasisimple for almost every valuation v?
Let $G$ be an absolutely simple simply connected and connected algebraic group defined over a global field $k$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$. Fix an embedding of $G$ into $GL_n$. Given $v$ a non-...

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 ...
