Ultraproduct normal-subgroup conjecture for higher-rank arithmetic groups
Ultraproduct normal-subgroup conjecture for higher-rank arithmetic groups
Let be the arithmetic group specified by the local-to-global conjecture above, fix a non-principal ultrafilter on the natural numbers, and let and be the corresponding -ultrapowers of and . Ultraproduct normal-subgroup conjecture. For every such that the normal subgroup of generated by is all of , the normal subgroup of generated by contains a finite-index subgroup of a principal congruence subgroup. This is stated as a weaker analogue of the local-to-global conjecture, resembling Margulis' normal subgroup theorem; its resolution is not supplied.
