Profinite commensurability of S-arithmetic groups

Group Theory 2020-07-24 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

Given an S-arithmetic group, we ask how much information on the ambient algebraic group, number field of definition, and set of places S is encoded in the commensurability class of the profinite completion. As a first step, we show that the profinite commensurability class of a higher rank S-arithmetic group determines the number field up to arithmetical equivalence and the places in S above unramified primes. We include applications to profiniteness questions of group invariants.
