Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice in a product of n infinite irreducible complete Kac-Moody groups of simply laced type over finite fields. We show that if n is at least 3, then each Kac-Moody groups is in fact a simple algebraic group…
This book provides a gentle introduction to the study of arithmetic subgroups of semisimple Lie groups. This means that the goal is to understand the group SL(n,Z) and certain of its subgroups. Among the major results discussed in the later…
Quasi-lattices are introduced in terms of 'join' and 'meet' operations. It is observed that quasi-lattices become lattices when these operations are associative and when these operations satisfy 'modularity' conditions. A fundamental…
We prove that if $G$ is a non-uniform lattice in a rank-one semi-simple Lie group $\ne Isom(\H^2_\R)$ then $G$ is quasi-isometrically co-Hopf. This means that every quasi-isometric embedding $G\to G$ is coarsely onto and thus is a…
We consider (projectively) linearly sofic groups, i.e. groups which can be approximated using (projective) matrices over arbitrary fields, as a generalization of sofic groups. We generalize known results for sofic groups and groups which…
The main aim of this paper is the description of a large class of lattices in some nilpotent Lie groups, sometimes filiformes, carrying a flat left invariant linear connection anf often a left invariant symplectic form. As a consequence we…
We investigate a slight weakening of the classical property of strong approximation, which we call almost strong approximation, for connected reductive algebraic groups over global fields with respect to special sets of valuations. While…
Numerical semigroup rings are investigated from the relative viewpoint. It is known that algebraic properties such as singularities of a numerical semigroup ring are properties of a flat numerical semigroup algebra. In this paper, we show…
We consider the problem of Diophantine approximation on semisimple algebraic groups by rational points with restricted numerators and denominators and establish a quantitative approximation result for all real points in the group by…
This is the first one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple linear groups.
We consider Euclidean lattices spanned by images of algebraic conjugates of an algebraic number under Minkowski embedding, investigating their rank, properties of their automorphism groups and sets of minimal vectors. We are especially…
Given a finite graph of relatively hyperbolic groups with its fundamental group relatively hyperbolic and edge groups quasi-isometrically embedded and relatively quasiconvex in vertex groups, we prove that vertex groups are relatively…
We show that many important varieties and sets of varieties of semigroups may be defined by relatively simple and transparent first-order formulas in the lattice of all semigroup varieties.
We exhibit a family of infinite, finitely-presented, nilpotent-by-abelian groups. Each member of this family is a solvable S-arithmetic group that is related to Baumslag-Solitar groups, and everyone of these groups has a quasi-isometry…
We characterize finite-dimensional thick representations over ${\Bbb C}$ of connected complex semi-simple Lie groups by irreducible representations which are weight multiplicity-free and whose weight posets are totally ordered sets.…
We show that all the currently known non-arithmetic lattices in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ are monodromy groups of higher hypergeometric functions.
In this expository article, we give a self-contained introduction to the wonderfully well-behaved class of pseudocompact algebras, focusing on the foundational classes of semisimple and separable algebras. We give characterizations of such…
Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group. We develop a machinery for manipulation and manufacture of well-rounded families $\left\{ \mathcal{B}_{T}\right\} _{T>0}\subset G$ as they were defined in a work by A. Gorodnik and A. Nevo. The…
The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…
In any connected non-compact semi-simple Lie group without factors locally isomorphic to SL_2(R), there can be only finitely many lattices (up to isomorphism) of a given covolume. We show that there exist arbitrarily large families of…
