Rigidity of real-analytic actions of \(SL(n,\mathbb Z)\) on \(\mathbb T^n\): a case of realization of Zimmer program (Q972043)

The group \(SL(n,\mathbb Z)\) acts on the \(n\)-dimensional torus by automorphisms which are projections of the linear maps in \({\mathbb R}^n\) (standard action). The corresponding action on \({\mathbb Z}^n\) is the standard homotopy data. We prove that any real-analytic action of \(SL(n,\mathbb Z),n\geq 3\) with standard homotopy data that preserves an ergodic measure \(\mu\) whose support is not contained in a ball, is analytically conjugate on an open invariant set to the standard linear action on the complement to a finite union of periodic orbits.
