This note describes a unified approach to several superrigidity results, old and new, concerning representations of lattices into simple algebraic groups over local fields. For an arbitrary group $\Gamma$ and a $\Gamma$-boundary $B$ we…

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple algebraic group with trivial center, $S < G$ a maximal split torus, $H < G$ the centralizer of $S$ in $G$ and $\Gamma < G$ an irreducible lattice. Consider the group measure space von Neumann algebra…

Let $\Ga$ be a connected, solvable linear algebraic group over a number field~$K$, let $S$ be a finite set of places of~$K$ that contains all the infinite places, and let $\theints$ be the ring of $S$-integers of~$K$. We define a certain…

An essentially free group action of $\Gamma$ on $(X,\mu)$ is called W*-superrigid if the crossed product von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ completely remembers the group $\Gamma$ and its action on $(X,\mu)$. We prove…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

For $i=1,\ldots,k$, let $\mathbf{G}_i$ be a connected, simply connected, semisimple algebraic group over some local field $\kappa_i$ of characteristic zero. Let $G_i=\mathbf{G}_i(\kappa_i)$ be the $\kappa_i$-points of $\mathbf{G}_i$ and…

Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice in a product of two locally compact groups and assume that $\Gamma$ is densely embedded in a profinite group $K$. We give necessary conditions which imply that the left translation action…

The description of irreducible representations of a group G can be seen as a question in harmonic analysis; namely, decomposing a suitable space of functions on G into irreducibles for the action of G x G by left and right multiplication.…

We prove a rigidity result for cocycles from higher rank lattices to $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ and more generally to the outer automorphism group of a torsion-free hyperbolic group. More precisely, let $G$ be either a product of connected higher…

In this paper we study perturbations of constant cocycles for actions of higher rank semi-simple algebraic groups and their lattices. Roughly speaking, for ergodic actions, Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorems implies that the perturbed…

We prove general superrigidity results for actions of irreducible lattices on CAT(0) spaces; first, in terms of the ideal boundary, and then for the intrinsic geometry (including for infinite-dimensional spaces). In particular, one obtains…

We give a Super-Rigidity theorem a la Margulis which applies for a wider class of groups. In particular it applies to subgroups which are not assumed to be lattices in the ambient group. Our proof is based on the notion of Algebraic…

We prove that if a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is {\it w-rigid}, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup $H$ with the relative property (T) (e.g. $\Gamma= SL(2,\Bbb Z) \ltimes \Bbb Z^2$, or $\Gamma = H \times H'$ with $H$ an…

We revisit Margulis-Zimmer Super-Rigidity and provide some generalizations. In particular we obtain super-rigidity results for lattices in higher-rank groups or product of groups, targeting at algebraic groups over arbitrary fields with…

We systematically investigate cocycle superrigidity in the setting of finite rank median spaces for product groups and Kazhdan groups. By employing a dynamical approach to superrigidity, we establish, for a median space X of finite rank,…

We announce a generalization of Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorem proven using harmonic map techniques. This allows us to generalize many results concerning higher rank lattices to all lattices in semisimple groups with property $(T)$.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a weakly irreducible higher rank lattice. In this paper, we will prove various rigidity results for the $\Gamma$-action following a philosophy of the Zimmer program. We provide new rigidity results including local and global…

In this article, we prove that if a finitely generated group $G$ is not torsion then a necessary and sufficient condition for every full shift over $G$ has (continuous) cocycle superrigidity is that $G$ has one end. It is a topological…

This paper develops from scratch a theory of Galois rings and orders over arbitrary fields. Our approach is different from others in the literature in that there is no non-modularity assumption. We prove, when the field is algebraically…

Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with $|\mathrm{Out}(G)|<+\infty$. We prove that if a countable group $H$ with bounded torsion is measure equivalent to $G$, with an $L^1$-integrable measure equivalence cocycle towards $G$, then $H$ is…
