On volumes of arithmetic quotients of S O ( 1 , n )

Mikhail Belolipetsky (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of S O ( 1 , n ) . As a result we prove that for any even dimension  n there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic n -orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an explicit description of their fundamental groups as the stabilizers of certain lattices in quadratic spaces. We...

Purity of level m stratifications

Marc-Hubert Nicole, Adrian Vasiu, Torsten Wedhorn (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let k be a field of characteristic p > 0 . Let D m be a BT m over k (i.e., an m -truncated Barsotti–Tate group over k ). Let S be a k -scheme and let X be a BT m over S . Let S D m ( X ) be the subscheme of S which describes the locus where X is locally for the fppf topology isomorphic to D m . If p 5 , we show that S D m ( X ) is pure in S , i.e. the immersion S D m ( X ) S is affine. For p { 2 , 3 } , we prove purity if D m satisfies a certain technical property depending only on its p -torsion D m [ p ] . For p 5 , we apply the developed techniques to show that all level m ...

Rational fixed points for linear group actions

Pietro Corvaja (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We prove a version of the Hilbert Irreducibility Theorem for linear algebraic groups. Given a connected linear algebraic group G , an affine variety V and a finite map π : V G , all defined over a finitely generated field κ of characteristic zero, Theorem 1.6 provides the natural necessary and sufficient condition under which the set π ( V ( κ ) ) contains a Zariski dense sub-semigroup Γ G ( κ ) ; namely, there must exist an unramified covering p : G ˜ G and a map θ : G ˜ V such that π θ = p . In the case κ = , G = 𝔾 a is the additive group, we reobtain the...
