The torus analogue of Mazur's conjecture
The torus analogue of Mazur's conjecture
Let be an algebraic anisotropic torus defined over , let be a finitely generated subgroup of , and let be any arithmetic subgroup of . Write for a subtorus of defined over .
The torus analogue of Mazur's conjecture. The connected component of the identity of the closure of the image of in equals the connected component of the identity of for some such . Equivalently, the closure of the image of is dense in the identity component of if and only if every subgroup of surjecting onto the image of in is Zariski dense in .
This is the paper's central conjecture about closures of finitely generated rational subgroups in compact quotients of anisotropic tori. The source proves it assuming Schanuel's conjecture, while noting that an unconditional proof may follow from more elementary geometry-of-numbers methods.
