Who first showed that $SL(n,O_K)$ is a lattice for a number ring $O_K$?

Let $O_K$ be the ring of integers in an algebraic number field $K$. Assume that $K$ has $r$ real embeddings and $s$ pairs of complex conjugate complex embeddings. There is then an injective ...

Conway big picture for congruence subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$

I saw in Conway’s paper "Understanding groups like $\Gamma_0(N)$" that the so-called Big Picture can give simple interpretations for important objects in number theory, such as Hecke ...

Lattices of minimal covolume in $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$

What are the (uniform/non-uniform) irreducible lattices of minimal (or even small) covolume in $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R}) \times \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$? Context: Such a lattice will ...

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 ...

Definition of reducible lattice

I am reading Raghunathan's book on discrete subgroups of Lie groups. In particular I am stuck on Corollary 5.19 which gives several equivalent conditions for a lattice in a semisimple Lie group to be ...
