Abstract: We study the Chabauty compactification of two families of closed subgroups of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

. The first family is the set of all parahoric subgroups of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

. Although the Chabauty compactification of parahoric subgroups is well studied, we give a different and more geometric proof using various Levi decompositions of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

. Let

C

be the subgroup of diagonal matrices in

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

. The second family is the set of all

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

-conjugates of

C

. We give a classification of the Chabauty limits of conjugates of

C

using the action of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

on its associated Bruhat--Tits building and compute all of the limits for

n l e q 4

(up to conjugacy). In contrast, for

n g e q 7

we prove there are infinitely many

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

-nonconjugate Chabauty limits of conjugates of

C

. Along the way we construct an explicit homeomorphism between the Chabauty compactification in

m a t h f r a k s l (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

-conjugates of the

p

-adic Lie algebra of

C

and the Chabauty compactification of

S L (n, m a t h b b Q_{p})

-conjugates of

C

.

Review text

For prime \(p\), we denote by \(C\) the diagonal Cartan subgroup of \(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p)\), consisting of all diagonal matrices in the group. Let us denote by \(\mathrm{Cart}(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p))\) the set of all conjugates of \(C\) in \(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p)\). In the paper under the review, the author study the Chabauty compactification \(\overline{\mathrm{Cart}(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p))}^{Ch}\), and classify elements of this compactification. Provided classification distincts between members of compactification having only elliptic elements and those having at least one hyperbolic element. An explicit homeomorphism between \(\overline{\mathrm{Cart}(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p))}^{Ch}\) and the Chabauty compactification in \(\mathfrak{sl}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p)\) of \(\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Q}_p)\)-conjugates of the Lie algebra of \(C\) is constructed. The authors also compute all the Chabauty limits for \(n \leq 4\), up to conjugacy, and prove that for \(n \geq 7\) there are infinitely many Chabauty limits.
