Abstract: Let $J$ be a semisimple Lie group with all simple factors of real rank at least two. Let $Gamma<J$ be a lattice. We prove a very general local rigidity result about actions of $J$ or $Gamma$. This shows that almost all so-called "standard actions" are locally rigid. As a special case, we see that any action of $Gamma$ by toral automorphisms is locally rigid. More generally, given a manifold $M$ on which $Gamma$ acts isometrically and a torus $T{a}^n$ on which it acts by automorphisms, we show that the diagonal action on $T{a}^{n}imesM$ is locally rigid. This paper is the culmination of a series of papers and depends heavily on our work in cite{FM1,FM2}. The reader willing to accept the main results of those papers as "black boxes" should be able to read the present paper without referring to them.
