Arithmetic group

In mathematics, an arithmetic group is a group obtained as the integer points of an algebraic group, for example They arise naturally in the study of arithmetic properties of quadratic forms and other classical topics in number theory. They also give rise to very interesting examples of Riemannian manifolds and hence are objects of interest in differential geometry and topology. Finally, these two topics join in the theory of automorphic forms which is fundamental in modern number theory. One of the origins of the mathematical theory of arithmetic groups is algebraic number theory. The classical reduction theory of quadratic and Hermitian forms by Charles Hermite, Hermann Minkowski and others can be seen as computing fundamental domains for the action of certain arithmetic groups on the relevant symmetric spaces. The topic was related to Minkowski's geometry of numbers and the early development of the study of arithmetic invariant of number fields such as the discriminant. Arithmetic groups can be thought of as a vast generalisation of the unit groups of number fields to a noncommutative setting. The same groups also appeared in analytic number theory as the study of classical modular forms and their generalisations developed. Of course the two topics were related, as can be seen for example in Langlands' computation of the volume of certain fundamental domains using analytic methods. This classical theory culminated with the work of Siegel, who showed the finiteness of the volume of a fundamental domain in many cases. For the modern theory to begin foundational work was needed, and was provided by the work of Armand Borel, André Weil, Jacques Tits and others on algebraic groups. Shortly afterwards the finiteness of covolume was proven in full generality by Borel and Harish-Chandra. Meanwhile, there was progress on the general theory of lattices in Lie groups by Atle Selberg, Grigori Margulis, David Kazhdan, M. S. Raghunathan and others. The state of the art after this period was essentially fixed in Raghunathan's treatise, published in 1972.

En théorie des groupes le terme réseau désigne un sous-groupe d'un groupe topologique localement compact vérifiant les conditions suivantes : est discret dans , ce qui est équivalent à la condition qu'il existe un voisinage ouvert de l'identité de tel que ; est de covolume fini dans , c'est-à-dire qu'il existe sur l'espace quotient une mesure Borélienne de masse totale finie et invariante par (agissant par translations à droite). Un réseau est dit uniforme quand le quotient est compact. On dit alors que est un réseau de .

In mathematics, a congruence subgroup of a matrix group with integer entries is a subgroup defined by congruence conditions on the entries. A very simple example would be invertible 2 × 2 integer matrices of determinant 1, in which the off-diagonal entries are even. More generally, the notion of congruence subgroup can be defined for arithmetic subgroups of algebraic groups; that is, those for which we have a notion of 'integral structure' and can define reduction maps modulo an integer.

En mathématiques, un groupe réductif est un groupe algébrique G sur un corps algébriquement clos tel que le radical unipotent de G (c'est-à-dire le sous-groupe des éléments unipotents de ) soit trivial. Tout est réductif, de même que tout tore algébrique et tout groupe général linéaire. Plus généralement, sur un corps k non nécessairement algébriquement clos, un groupe réductif est un groupe algébrique affine lisse G tel que le radical unipotent de G sur la clôture algébrique de k soit trivial.
