Strong approximation for Zariski dense subgroups over arbitrary global fields
Richard Pink[1] (1) ETH Zürich, SwitzerlandConsider a finitely generated Zariski dense subgroup $ \Gamma $ of a connected simple algebraic group G over a global field F. An important aspect of strong approximation is the question of whether the closure of $ \Gamma $ in the group of points of G with coefficients in a ring of partial adeles is open. We prove an essentially optimal result in this direction, based on the condition that $ \Gamma $ is not discrete in that ambient group. There are no restrictions on the characteristic of F or the type of G, and simultaneous approximation in finitely many algebraic groups is also studied. Classification of finite simple groups is not used.
