Zariski closures and subgroup separability
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main result of this article is a refinement of the well-known subgroup separability results of Hall and Scott for free and surface groups. We show that for any finitely generated subgroup, there is a finite dimensional representation of the free or surface group that separates the subgroup in the induced Zariski topology. As a corollary, we establish a polynomial upper bound on the size of the quotients used to separate a finitely generated subgroup in a free or surface group.

Zariski Dense Subgroups of Semisimple Algebraic Groups with Isomorphic p-adic Closures
We prove under certain natural conditions the finiteness of the number of isomorphism classes of Zariski dense subgroups in semisimple groups with isomorphic p-adic closures.
متن کاملZariski dense surface subgroups in SL(3,Z)
The nature of finitely generated infinite index subgroups of SL(3,Z) remains extremely mysterious. It follows from the famous theorem of Tits [12] that free groups abound and, moreover, Zariski dense free groups abound. Less trivially, classical arithmetic considerations (see for example §6.1 of [9]) can be used to construct surface subgroups of SL(3,Z) of every genus ≥ 2. However these are con...
متن کاملInvariant Measures and Orbit Closures on Homogeneous Spaces for Actions of Subgroups Generated by Unipotent Elements
The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More precisely: Let G be a Lie group (not necessarily connected) and Γ a closed subgroup of G. Let W be a subgroup of G such that AdG(W ) is contained in the Zariski clos...
متن کاملAffine Schemes and Topological Closures in the Zariski-riemann Space of Valuation Rings
Let F be a field, let D be a subring of F , and let X be the Zariski-Riemann space of valuation rings containing D and having quotient field F . We consider the Zariski, inverse and patch topologies on X when viewed as a projective limit of projective integral schemes having function field contained in F , and we characterize the locally ringed subspaces of X that are affine schemes.
متن کاملAn analogue of a conjecture of Mazur: a question in Diophantine approximation on tori
B. Mazur has considered the question of density in the Euclidean topology of the set of Q-rational points on a variety X defined over Q, in particular for Abelian varieties. In this paper we consider the question of closures of the image of finitely generated subgroups of T (Q) in Γ\T (R) where T is a torus defined over Q, Γ an arithmetic subgroup such that Γ\T (R) is compact. Assuming Schanuel...
