| Lattices in semisimple Lie groups have been studied from the point of view of number theory, algebraic groups, topology and geometry, and geometric group theory. The Fragestellung of one line of investigation is to what extent the properties of the lattice determine, and are determined by, the properties of the group. This talk reviews a number of results about lattices, and in particular looks at Mostow–Margulis rigidity. | |||
