TLDR
In this paper, two commuting semisimple elements of S&(Z) (n 24) which generate a free abelian group of rank 2 and which are contained in a Zariski dense (in fact, maximal) subgroup of infinite index in S&Z are exhibited.

Commensurated Subgroups of Arithmetic Groups, Totally Disconnected Groups and Adelic Rigidity

TL;DR: A substantial number of cases of a conjecture regarding commensurated subgroups of S-arithmetic groups made by Margulis and Zimmer in the late 1970s were established in this article.

Commensurated subgroups of arithmetic groups, totally disconnected groups and adelic rigidity

TL;DR: A 30-year old conjecture of Gregory Margulis and Robert Zimmer on the commensurated subgroups of S-arithmetic groups has been investigated in this article, where the conjecture was shown to be false.

Arithmeticity of Certain Symplectic Hypergeometric Groups

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a sufficient condition on a pair of integral polynomials that the associated hypergeometric group is an arithmetic subgroup of the integral symplectic group.

Nonarithmetic superrigid groups: Counterexamples to Platonov's conjecture

TL;DR: In this paper, counterexamples to Platonov's Conjecture were constructed, showing that "most" arithmetic groups are superrigid and that finitely generated linear groups which are super-rigid must be of "arithmetic type".

Discrete subgroups of Lie groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of lattices in semisimple Lie groups has been studied and the density theorem of Borel has been proved for non-potent Lie groups.

Free subgroups in linear groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of finding a non-abelian free group with a solvable normal subgroup R such that R is locally finite (i.e., every jinite subset generates a $nite subgroup).

Strong approximation for Zariski-dense subgroups of semi-simple algebraic groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider algebraically closed fields of characteristic different from 2 and 3, and define algebraic groups over these fields, where G is a simple, connected and simply connected algebraic group defined over k.
