Abstract

We prove a modified version for a conjecture of Weiss from 2004. Let GG be a semisimple real algebraic group defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, Γ\Gamma be an arithmetic subgroup of GG. A trajectory in G/ΓG/\Gamma is divergent if eventually it leaves every compact subset, and is obvious divergent if there is a finite collection of algebraic data which cause the divergence. Let AA be a diagonalizable subgroup of GG of positive dimension. We show that if the projection of AA to any Q\mathbb{Q}-factor of GG is of small enough dimension (relatively to the Q\mathbb{Q}-rank of the Q\mathbb{Q}-factor), then there are non-obvious divergent trajectories for the action of AA on G/ΓG/\Gamma.
