Quasi-isometries of rank one S-arithmetic lattices

چکیده
We complete the quasi-isometric classification of irreducible lattices in semisimple Lie groups over nondiscrete locally compact fields of characteristic zero by showing that any quasi-isometry of a rank one S-arithmetic lattice in a semisimple Lie group over nondiscrete locally compact fields of characteristic zero is a finite distance in the sup-norm from a commensurator.

Quasi-isometric Rigidity of Higher Rank S-arithmetic Lattices
We show that S-arithmetic lattices in semisimple Lie groups with no rank one factors are quasi-isometrically rigid.
متن کاملGromov ’ s measure equivalence and rigidity of higher rank lattices
In this paper the notion of Measure Equivalence (ME) of countable groups is studied. ME was introduced by Gromov as a measure-theoretic analog of quasi-isometries. All lattices in the same locally compact group are Measure Equivalent; this is one of the motivations for this notion. The main result of this paper is ME rigidity of higher rank lattices: any countable group which is ME to a lattice...
متن کاملQuasi - Isometric Rigidity for Psl
1. Introduction. Combining the work of many people yields a complete quasi-isometry classification of irreducible lattices in semisimple Lie groups (see [F] for an overview of these results). One of the first general results in this classification is the complete description, up to quasi-isometry, of all nonuniform lattices in semisimple Lie groups of rank 1, proved by R. Schwartz [S1]. He show...
متن کاملRigidity of quasi-isometries for symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings
for all x ∈ X . Quasi-isometries occur naturally in the study of the geometry of discrete groups since the length spaces on which a given finitely generated group acts cocompactly and properly discontinuously by isometries are quasi-isometric to one another [Gro]. Quasi-isometries also play a crucial role in Mostow’s proof of his rigidity theorem: the theorem is proved by showing that equivaria...
متن کاملA Joining Classification and a Special Case of Raghunathan’s Conjecture in Positive Characteristic (with an Appendix by Kevin Wortman)
We prove the classification of joinings for maximal horospherical subgroups acting on homogeneous spaces without any restriction on the characteristic. Using the linearization technique we deduce a special case of Raghunathan’s orbit closure conjecture. In the appendix quasi-isometries of higher rank lattices in semisimple algebraic groups over fields of positive characteristic are characterized.
