Discrete Linear Groups containing Arithmetic Groups

Abstract: We prove in a large number of cases, that a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a simple real algebraic group

G

which contains a higher rank lattice is a lattice in the group

G

. For example, we show that a Zariski dense subgroup of

S L_{n} (m a t h b b R)

which contains

S L_{3} (m a t h b b Z)

in the top left hand corner, is conjugate to

S L_{n} (m a t h b b Z)

.
