Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least…

For finitely generated groups $G$ and $H$ equipped with word metrics, a translation-like action of $H$ on $G$ is a free action where each element of $H$ moves elements of $G$ a bounded distance. Translation-like actions provide a geometric…

We establish conditions under which lattices in certain simple Lie groups are profinitely solitary in the absolute sense, so that the commensurability class of the profinite completion determines the commensurability class of the group…

Let $(K,\mathcal O, k)$ be a $p$-modular system with $k$ algebraically closed and $\mathcal O$ unramified, and let $\Lambda$ be an $\mathcal O$-order in a separable $K$-algebra. We call a $\Lambda$-lattice $L$ rigid if ${\rm…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

Let $k$ be a field, $\tilde{G}$ a connected reductive $k$-group, and $\Gamma$ a finite group. In a previous work, the authors defined what it means for a connected reductive $k$-group $G$ to be "parascopic" for $(\tilde{G},\Gamma)$.…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

Let $\Sigma$ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W,S). The automorphism group G of $\Sigma$ is naturally a locally compact group, and a simple combinatorial condition due to Haglund--Paulin determines when G is nondiscrete. The…

Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup U. Let g be the Lie algebra of G, and X = G/U be the associated Riemannian globally symmetric space of type IV. We have constructed three types of arithmetic…
