Arithmetic purity of strong approximation for semi-simple simply connected groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semi-simple simply connected k-simple linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field k. For instance, for any such group G and for any open subset U of G with codim(GsetminusU,G)geq2, we prove that (i) if G is k-isotropic, then U satisfies strong approximation off any one (hence any finitely many) place; (ii) if G is the spin group of a non-degenerate quadratic form which is non-compact over archimedean places, then U satisfies strong approximation off all archimedean places. As a consequence, we prove that the same property holds for affine quadratic hypersurfaces. Our approach combines a fibration method with subgroup actions developed for induction on the codimension of GsetminusU, and an affine combinatorial sieve which allows to produce integral points with almost prime polynomial values.
