Abstract

Let GG be a connected, absolutely almost simple, algebraic group defined over a finitely generated, infinite field KK, and let Γ\Gamma be a Zariski dense subgroup of G(K)G(K). We show, apart from some few exceptions, that the commensurability class of the field F\mathcal{F} given by the compositum of the splitting fields of characteristic polynomials of generic elements of Γ\Gamma determines the group GG upto isogeny over the algebraic closure of KK.
