On discrete Zariski-dense subgroups of algebraic groups

alg-geom 2008-02-03 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We investigate for which linear-algebraic groups (over the complex numbers or any local field) there exists subgroups which are dense in the Zariski topology, but discrete in the Hausdorff topology. For instance, such subgroups exist for every non-solvable complex group.
