A random closed subgroup with conjugation-invariant law is called an {\\em invariant random subgroup} or IRS for short. We show that each nonabelian free group has a large \"zoo\" of IRS's. This contrasts with results of Stuck-Zimmer which show that there are no non-obvious IRS's of higher rank semisimple Lie groups with property (T).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v6", "updated": "2014-04-15T01:30:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "invariant random subgroup", "higher rank semisimple lie groups", "nonabelian free group", "conjugation-invariant law", "random closed subgroup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.5939B" } } }
