Third homology of simply connected Chevalley–Demazure group schemes

I’ve been studying the group of $\mathbb{Z}$-points of the simply connected Chevalley–Demazure group scheme of type $E_7$, denoted $G_{\text{sc}}(E_7,\mathbb{Z})$; see Vavilov and Plotkin - Chevalley ...

Finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\Bbb C)$ and Chevalley groups

I'm trying to show that if $G$ is a Chevalley group, then every finite index subgroup of $G(\Bbb Z)$ is Zariski dense in $G(\Bbb C)$. ($G(\Bbb Z)$ is the Chevalley group over $\Bbb Z$ and similarly ...

Is a presentation of the hyperbolic orthogonal group of rank 2 over the integers known?

The hyperbolic orthogonal group $O_{g,g}(\mathbb{Z})$ often appears in the study of high-dimensional manifolds, see e.g. work of Kreck or Galatius and Randal-Williams. Let $H$ denote the lattice $\...

A group generated by all the root subgroups above ideal of $\mathbb Z[\alpha]$ is of finite index in $G(\mathbb Z[\alpha])$

Let $G$ be a simply connected complex Chevalley group and let $T$ be some maximal torus in $G$ with $\dim T\geq 2$. From "A note on generators for arithmetic subgroups of algebraic groups" by ...

If $\Lambda \cap U$ is Zariski-dense in $U$, then $\Lambda$ contains $U(k\mathbb Z)$ for some $k ≥ 1$?

If $G$ is a $\mathbb Q$-defined subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb C)$, $\Lambda$ is a subgroup of $G(\mathbb Z)$, and $U$ is a unipotent subgroup of $G(\mathbb C)$ such that $\Lambda \cap U$ is ...
