Locally finite approximation of Lie groups, I.
Let and for and when for , we obtain an effective archimedean counting result for a discrete orbit of in a homogeneous space where is the trivial group, a symmetric subgroup or a horospherical subgroup. More precisely, we show that for any effectively well-rounded family of compact subsets, there exists such that for an explicit measure on which depends on . We also apply the affine sieve and describe the distribution of almost primes on orbits of in arithmetic settings....
We prove a rigidity theorem for semiarithmetic Fuchsian groups: If Γ₁, Γ₂ are two semiarithmetic lattices in PSL(2,ℝ ) virtually admitting modular embeddings, and f: Γ₁ → Γ₂ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then f is induced by an inner automorphism of PGL(2,ℝ ).
Un groupe localement compact a la propriété (T) de Kazhdan si la -cohomologie de tout -module hilbertien est nulle. Cette propriété de rigidité de la théorie des représentations de a trouvé des applications qui vont de la théorie ergodique à la théorie des graphes. Pendant près de 30 ans, les seuls exemples connus de groupes avec la propriété (T), provenaient des groupes algébriques simples sur les corps locaux, ou de leurs réseaux. La situation a radicalement changé ces dernières années :...
Let be an irreducible lattice in a product of simple groups. Assume that has a factor with property (T). We give a description of the topology in a neighbourhood of the trivial one dimensional representation of in terms of the topology of the dual space of .We use this result to give a new proof for the triviality of the first cohomology group of with coefficients in a finite dimensional unitary representation.
This is a small survey paper about connections between the arithmetic and geometric properties in the case of arithmetic Fuchsian groups.
In this paper we continue the investigation of [7]-[10] concerning the actions of discrete subgroups of Lie groups on compact manifolds.
