Lattice (discrete Subgroup) - Adelic Case

Adelic Case

A lattice of fundamental importance for the theory of automorphic forms is given by the group G(K) of K-points of a semisimple (or reductive) linear algebraic group G defined over a global field K. This group diagonally embeds into the adelic algebraic group G(A), where A is the ring of adeles of K, and is a lattice there. Unlike arithmetic lattices, G(K) is not finitely generated.

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
