Margulis–Zimmer conjecture on commensurated subgroups of S-arithmetic lattices
Let be a semisimple algebraic group defined over a number field , and let be a finite set of valuations of . Assume that has higher -rank, and that
is an -arithmetic lattice in . A subgroup is commensurated if .
Margulis–Zimmer conjecture. Every commensurated subgroup of is either finite or -arithmetic for some .
This conjecture seeks to classify commensurated subgroups of higher-rank lattices and was advertised by Margulis and Zimmer in the late 1970s. It is presented as a major motivation for the Greenberg–Shalom hypothesis; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
