Ascending Chain Condition for finite normalizers

Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup. Consider the ascending chain of iterated normalizers: $$ H \trianglelefteq N_G(H) \trianglelefteq N_G(N_G H) \trianglelefteq \cdots \trianglelefteq N^{(k)}_G(H) …

Uniform lattices in semisimple Lie groups

Let $\Gamma$ be a uniform lattice in a semisimple Lie group $G$. Must $\Gamma$ be virtually torsion-free? If (1) is true, then does this work more generally if $G$ is reductive? I am motivated by …

Automorphism groups of virtually cyclic groups

Let $V$ be a virtually cyclic group. Then is $Aut(V)$ also a virtually cyclic group? This is true when $V$ is a finite group (zero-ended) and when $V = C_\infty, D_\infty$ (both two-ended).
