Representation Theory 2016-09-07 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

Margulis showed that "most" arithmetic groups are superrigid. Platonov conjectured, conversely, that finitely generated linear groups which are superrigid must be of "arithmetic type." We construct counterexamples to Platonov's Conjecture.
