There is no lattice in PSL(2,R) which contains PSL(2,Z) properly?

How can I see that there is no lattice in $G=\mathrm{PSL}_2( \mathbb{R})$ which contains $\Gamma_1=\mathrm{PSL}_2( \mathbb{Z})$ properly, or equivalently, that $X_1 =\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) \...

When does a locally symmetric space have no odd degree Betti numbers?

Let $G$ be a semisimple real lie group, $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free cocompact discrete subgroup. The Betti number the locally symmetric space $X_{\Gamma}:=\...

Why are there so few irreducible admissible representations of $\text{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ (up to infinitesimal equivalence)?

Studying Langlands's classification of irreducible admissible representations, I have been rather stunned by the following: Theorem Up to infinitesimal equivalence, all irreducible admissible ...

How does the right regular of GL(n, R) and GL(n,Qp) decompose?

The question is contained in the title. I would guess that this question is already answered in the literature. Given the reductive group $GL(n)$ over a complete local field, how does the right ...

Two definitions of automorphic forms on Lie groups

My question is the about the equivalence of two definitions of automorphic forms on a semisimple Lie group. The most common definition of automorphic forms on a semisimple Lie group $G$ with respect ...

What is a map for the representation theory of reductive groups?

I have finished learning about linear algebraic groups (minus their representation theory) and the associated algebraic structures (root data, root systems, etc.), and will next attempt to summarize ...

Definition of Admissible Representation

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group over a number field $k$. Let $v$ be a place of $k$. If $v$ is finite, an admissible representation of $G(k_v)$ is defined to be an abstract representation of $...

Explicit Jacquet-Langlands correspondence for real reductive groups

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathbb R$. Let $G'$ over $\mathbb R$ be an inner form of $G$ with ${}^LG={}^LG'$. By local Langlands correspondence over $\mathbb R$, if a $L$-packet of $...

Non-vanishing of left- vs. right-averages over lattices in $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$

I asked the same question on MSE one week ago, but it has not received any answers. Background. Let $G=SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, let $K=SO(2)$, and let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, e.g. $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$...

Eigenvalues of the imaginary part of the Symplectic action on Siegel upper half plane

Let $A,B\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ and $U=A+iB$ unitary. $R=diag(r_1,r_2,…,r_n)$ is a diagonal matrix with $r_i>0, \forall i $. I need to calculate $\det(Ae^{-R}A^T+Be^{R}B^T)$. This matrix $Ae^{-R}A^T+...

characters on unipotent group

Let $G=GL_{n}$ and $N$ the maximal unipotent subgroup, $\mathbb{A}$ the ring of adeles on a number field $F$. We fix a non trivial character $\psi:F\backslash\mathbb{A}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}^{*}$. We ...

The identity connected component of centralizers of unipotent orbits

This is, in a way, a follow up question to Unipotent orbits and intersection with Levi and pseudo-Levi subgroups. I was reading "A generalisation of the Bala–Carter theorem for nilpotent orbits&...

Unipotent orbits and intersection with Levi and pseudo-Levi subgroups

Given a simple complex Lie group $G$ (I might say upfront that I am mostly interested with exceptional Lie algebras) and a nilpotent orbit $\mathcal{O}\subset G$ I would like to describe the ...
