有界生成与不能作用于直线上的格

Bounded generation and lattices that cannot act on the line

Lucy Lifschitz, Dave Witte Morris

摘要:

设D是连通的半单李群G中的不可约格,G具有有限中心.设G的实秩至少为2,G/D不是紧的,并且G有多个非紧单因子。我们证明了D在实直线上没有方向保持作用。(In代数项,这意味着D不是右可序的。)在G的单因子不与SL(2,R)同构的附加假设下,应用E.Ghys的定理得出结论:D在圆上的任何方向保持作用必须通过D的有限阿贝尔商分解。这个证明依赖于D.Carter、G.Keller和E.Paige证明的事实,即SL(2,A)是由幂零元有界生成的,只要A是一个有无穷多个单位的整数环。如果SL(3,R)和SL(3,C)中的所有非余紧格都是由幂幺子虚有界生成的,则G有多个非紧单因子的假设可以消除。

英文摘要:

Let D be an irreducible lattice in a connected, semisimple Lie group G with finite center. Assume that the real rank of G is at least two, that G/D is not compact, and that G has more than one noncompact simple factor. We show that D has no orientation-preserving actions on the real line. (In algebraic terms, this means that D is not right orderable.) Under the additional assumption that no simple factor of G is isogenous to SL(2,R), applying a theorem of E.Ghys yields the conclusion that any orientation-preserving action of D on the circle must factor through a finite, abelian quotient of D. The proof relies on the fact, proved by D.Carter, G.Keller, and E.Paige, that SL(2,A) is boundedly generated by unipotents whenever A is a ring of integers with infinitely many units. The assumption that G has more than one noncompact simple factor can be eliminated if all noncocompact lattices in SL(3,R) and SL(3,C) are virtually boundedly generated by unipotents.
