Random Groups

AbstractWe consider models of random groups in which the typical group is of intermediate rank (in particular, it is not hyperbolic). These models are parallel to Gromov’s well-known constructions, and include for example a ‘density model’ for groups of intermediate rank. The main novelty is the higher rank nature of the random groups. They are randomizations of certain families of lattices in algebraic groups (of rank 2) over local fields.

Residue Characteristic

Given a locally finite leafless tree $T$, various algebraic groups over local fields might appear as closed subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. We show that the set of closed cocompact subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ that are isomorphic to a quasi-split simple algebraic group is a closed subset of the Chabauty space of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. This is done via a study of the integral Bruhat–Tits model of $\operatorname{SL}_{2}$ and $\operatorname{SU}_{3}^{L/K}$, that we carry on over arbitrary local fields, without any restriction on the (residue) characteristic. In particular, we show that in residue characteristic $2$, the Tits index of simple algebraic subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ is not always preserved under Chabauty limits.

Recall that if S is a class of groups, then a group G is residually-S if, for any element 1 ≠ g ∈ G, there is a normal subgroup N of G such that g ∉ N and G/N ∈ S. Let Λ be a commutative Noetherian local pro-p ring, with a maximal ideal M. Recall that the first congruence subgroup of SLd(Λ) is: SL1d(Λ) = ker (SLd(Λ) → SLd(Λ/M)).Let K ⊆ ℕ. We define SΛ(K) = ∪d∈K{open subgroups of SL1d(Λ)}. We show that if K is infinite, then for Λ = [ ]p[[t]] and for Λ = ℤp a finitely generated non-abelian free pro-p group is residually-SΛ(K). We apply a probabilistic method, combined with Lie methods and a result on random generation in simple algebraic groups over local fields. It is surprising that the case of zero characteristic is deduced from the positive characteristic case.

Density Theorems

We extend classical density theorems of Borel and Dani–Shalom on lattices in semisimple, respectively solvable algebraic groups over local fields to approximate lattices. Our proofs are based on the observation that Zariski closures of approximate subgroups are close to algebraic subgroups. Our main tools are stationary joinings between the hull dynamical systems of discrete approximate subgroups and their Zariski closures.

The Relationship

AbstractIn this note, we study the relationship between Zariski and relative closedness for actions of (smooth) algebraic groups defined over valued (mainly local) fields of any characteristic. In particular, we use some recent basic results regarding the completely reducible subgroups and cocharacter-closedness due to Bate–Herpel–Röhrle–Tange and Uchiyama to construct some actions of simple algebraic groups G of the types {D_{4}}, {E_{6}}, {E_{7}}, {E_{8}}, {G_{2}} on an affine variety defined over a local function field k, and {v\in V(k)} such that the geometric orbit {G.v} is Zariski closed although the corresponding relative orbit {G(k).v} is not closed in the topology induced from k. Besides, by using an interesting result due to Gabber, Gille and Moret-Bailly, we show that this phenomenon does not appear when we consider the action of either a smooth unipotent group or a smooth commutative algebraic group, defined over an admissible valued (e.g., local) field.
