Kazhdan’s Theorem on Arithmetic Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
Define an arithmetic variety to be the quotient of a bounded symmetric domain by an arithmetic group. An arithmetic variety is algebraic, and the theorem in question states that when one applies an automorphism of the field of complex numbers to the coefficients of an arithmetic variety the resulting variety is again arithmetic. This article simplifies Kazhdan’s proof. In particular, it avoids recourse to the classification theorems. It was originally completed on March 28, 1984, and distributed in handwritten form.

On the Characterization of Complex Shimura Varieties
In this paper we recall the construction and basic properties of complex Shimura varieties and show that these properties actually characterize them. This characterization immediately implies the explicit form of Kazhdan’s theorem on the conjugation of Shimura varieties. As a further corollary, we show that each Shimura variety corresponding to an adjoint group has a canonical model over its re...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کامل18.782 Arithmetic Geometry Lecture Note 25
In the last lecture we proved that the torsion subgroup of the rational points on an elliptic curve E/Q is finite. In this lecture we will prove a special case of Mordell’s theorem, which states that E(Q) is finitely generated. By the structure theorem for finitely generated abelian groups, this implies E(Q) ' Z ⊕ T, where Zr is a free abelian group of rank r, and T is the (necessarily finite) ...
متن کاملThe arithmetic Hodge index theorem for adelic line bundles
In this paper, we prove index theorems for integrable metrized line bundles on projective varieties over complete fields and number fields respectively. As applications, we prove a non-archimedean analogue of the Calabi theorem and a rigidity theorem about the preperiodic points of algebraic dynamical systems.
متن کاملMirror Congruence For Rational Points On Calabi-Yau Varieties
One of the basic problems in arithmetic mirror symmetry is to compare the number of rational points on a mirror pair of Calabi-Yau varieties. At present, no general algebraic geometric definition is known for a mirror pair. But an important class of mirror pairs comes from certain quotient construction. In this paper, we study the congruence relation for the number of rational points on a quoti...
