Superrigid Subgroups of Solvable Lie Groups
Let Γ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group G, such that AdG Γ has the same Zariski closure as AdG. If α : Γ → GLn(R) is any finite-dimensional representation of Γ, we show that α virtually extends to a continuous representation σ of G. Furthermore, the image of σ is contained in the Zariski closure of the image of α. When Γ is not discrete, the same conclusions are t...
متن کاملSuperrigid Subgroups and Syndetic Hulls in Solvable Lie Groups
It is not difficult to see that every group homomorphism from Z to R extends to a homomorphism from R to R. We discuss other examples of discrete subgroups Γ of connected Lie groups G, such that the homomorphisms defined on Γ can (“virtually”) be extended to homomorphisms defined on all of G. For the case where G is solvable, we give a simple proof that Γ has this property if it is Zariski dens...
متن کاملCharacteristic Classes and Representations of Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups
A volume invariant is used to characterize those representations of a countable group into a connected semisimple Lie group G which are injective and whose image is a discrete cocompact subgroup of G. Let IT be a discrete cocompact subgroup of G and consider the analytic variety Hom(7r, G) consisting of homomorphisms 0: TT —> G. Denote by K a maximal compact subgroup of G and X = K\G the associ...
متن کاملTrees and Discrete Subgroups of Lie Groups over Local Fields
Let K be a locally compact field and G a simple AT-group, G = G(K). A discrete subgroup T of G is called a lattice if G/F carries a finite G-invariant measure. It is a uniform (or cocompact) lattice if G/T is compact and nonuniform otherwise. When the jRf-rank of G is greater than one, Margulis [Ma, Z] proved that T is arithmetic, establishing the conjecture of Selberg and PiatetskiShapiro. Thi...
متن کاملHarmonic Functions on Discrete Subgroups of Semi - Simple Lie Groups
A description of the Poisson boundary of random walks on discrete subgroups of semi-simple Lie groups in terms of geometric boundaries of the corresponding Riemannian symmetric spaces is given. Let G be a discrete group, and { a probability measure on G. A function f on G is called-harmonic if f(g) = P f(gx) (x) 8 g 2 G. The Poisson boundary of the pair (G;) is the probability space (?;) with a...
