Norm rigidity for arithmetic and profinite groups
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of has finite-index. We show that if has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If is any group satisfying this dichotomy we say that has the emph{dichotomy property}. We relate the dichotomy property, as well as some natural variants of it, to other rigidity results in the theory of arithmetic and profinite groups such as the celebrated normal subgroup theorem of Margulis and the seminal work of Nikolov and Segal. As a consequence we derive constraints to the possible approximations of certain non residually finite central extensions of arithmetic groups, which we hope might have further applications in the study of sofic groups. In the last section we provide several open problems for further research.
