Discrete subgroups of Lie groups (22E40) Classical groups (11E57) Cohomology of arithmetic groups (11F75) Quadratic forms (reduction theory, extreme forms, etc.) (11H55) Linear algebraic groups over global fields and their integers (20G30)

Abstract: Arithmetic groups are groups of matrices with integral entries. We shall first discuss their origin in number theory (Gauss, Minkowski) and their role in the "reduction theory of quadratic forms". Then we shall describe these groups by generators and relations. The next topic will be: are all subgroups of finite index given by congruence conditions? Finally, we shall discuss rigidity properties of arithmetic groups.
