On abstract representations of the groups of rational points of algebraic groups and their deformations. (Q380382)

The author continues his study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank \(\geq 2\). He analyzes representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative rings and, as a consequence, proves the conjecture of Borel and Tits on abstract homomorphisms of the groups of rational points of algebraic groups for groups of the form \(\mathrm{SL}_{n,D}\), where \(D\) is a finite-dimensional central division algebra over a field of characteristic 0. He also studies deformations of representations of elementary subgroups of universal Chevalley groups of rank \(\geq 2 \) over finitely generated commutative rings.
