For instance, lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups will always fix a point or a pair. The same holds for irreducible lattices in products of connected groups. Further results include a Tits alternative and a description of the topological dynamics. We briefly discuss to what extent our results hold for more general topological curves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-01T16:26:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "group actions", "higher rank simple lie groups", "results hold", "general topological curves", "establish obstructions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
