Abstract: Let Gamma be an S-arithmetic subgroup of a solvable algebraic group G over an algebraic number field F, such that the finite set S contains at least one place that is nonarchimedean. We construct a certain group H, such that if L is any local field and alpha is any homomorphism from Gamma to GL(n,L), then alpha virtually extends (modulo a bounded error) to a continuous homomorphism defined on some finite-index subgroup of H. In the special case where F is the field of rational numbers, the real-rank of G is 0, and Gamma is Zariski-dense in G, we may let H = G_S. We also point out a generalization that does not require G to be solvable.

Review text

Let \(\Gamma\) be an \(S\)-arithmetic subgroup of a solvable algebraic group \(\mathbf G\) over an algebraic number field \(F\), such that the finite set \(S\) contains at least one place that is non-archimedean. The authors construct a certain group \(H\) such that if \(L\) is any local field and \(\alpha\colon\Gamma\to\mathrm{GL}_n(L)\) is any homomorphism, then \(\alpha\) virtually extends (modulo a bounded error) to a continuous homomorphism defined on some finite-index subgroup of \(H\). In the special case where \(F=\mathbb Q\), \(\mathrm{rank}_{\mathbb R}\mathbf G=0\), and \(\Gamma\) is Zariski-dense in \(\mathbf G\), we may set \(H=\mathbf G_S\). The authors also point out a generalization that does not require \(\mathbf G\) to be solvable.
