An Introduction to Arithmetic Groupsby Sascha Biberhofer
The theory of arithmetic groups andtheir relations to various geomet-ric and number theoretic questionscan often feel a little overwhelmingand complex. In contrast, this talkis meant as a gentle introduction tothis subject. We will start by tak-ing a closer look at Dirichlet’s unittheorem and slowly expand its scopeto a noncommutative setting, dis-covering arithmetic groups, symmet-ric spaces and some interesting factsabout them along the way.
Master Students, PhD Students, Postdocsand other members of the Faculty of
Mathematics are cordially invited!Organised by the Vienna Doctoral School of Mathematics.
