Congruence rigidity of algebraic groups

Group Theory 2026-05-06 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We identify the simple algebraic groups over number fields that are, in a suitable sense, determined by their finite adele points. Assuming CSP and Grothendieck rigidity, our results essentially characterize higher rank arithmetic groups that are profinitely solitary: the profinite commensurability class determines the commensurability class among finitely generated residually finite groups. This generalizes previous work of the second author with R. Spitler from split groups to arbitrary groups.
