A general group-theoretic lattice is usually defined as something like A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $G$ is a lattice if the quotient $G/\Gamma$ carries a $G$-invariant ...

Given two matrices $A,B\in{\rm{SL}}_2(\Bbb{R})$, is there any criterion guaranteeing that the subgroup they generate is discrete? What if one puts restrictions on $A,B$ e.g. they are both elliptic? ...

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 ...
