Review text

Let \(\Gamma\) be an elementary solvable group. The author deals with the group Aut~\(\Gamma\) of automorphisms of \(\Gamma\). He constructs an ``algebraic ~ representation of Aut~\(\Gamma\). Here ``algebraic ~ means that the image of a semisimple (unipotent) automorphism, in the sense of \textit{H. C. Wang} [Ann. Math. (2) 64, 1--19 (1956; Zbl 0073.25803)], will be a semisimple (unipotent) matrix (see Theorem 1). This answers the Wang's question. As a corollary of this theorem, the author shows that for any group of automorphisms Aut~\(\Gamma\) of a lattice \(\Gamma\) in a solvable connected Lie group \(G\) there exists a representation \(\rho: \text{ Aut}~\Gamma\longrightarrow GL_n(\mathbb{Z})\), such that \(\rho(\text{ Aut}~\Gamma)\) is an arithmetic subgroup in the Zariski closure \(\overline{\rho(\text{ Aut}~\Gamma)}\).
