9700474 Rapinchuk This award provides funding for a continuing of the congruence subgroup problem for S-arithmetic subgroups of linear algebraic groups over number fields. The principal investigator will attempt to prove the centrality of the congruence kernel for some new classes of groups using a variety of techniques such as different boundedness conditions (bounded generation and similar properties), methods of representation theory (property (T) of Kazhdan), etc. He will also study the properties of groups having finite representation type and the representation varieties of some finitely generated groups. This research falls into the general mathematical field of Number Theory. Number Theory has its historical roots in the study of the whole numbers, addressing such questions as those dealing with the divisibility of one whole number by another. It is among the oldest branches of mathematics and was pursued for many centuries for purely aesthetic reasons. However, within the last half century it has become an indispensable tool in diverse applications in areas such as data transmission and processing, and communication systems.

9700474 Rapinchuk 该奖项为数域上线性代数群的 S 算术子群的同余子群问题的继续研究提供资金。首席研究员将尝试使用各种技术来证明同余核对于一些新类群的中心性，例如不同的有界条件（有界生成和相似属性）、表示论方法（Kazhdan 的属性（T））、他还将研究具有有限表示类型的群的性质以及一些有限生成群的表示多样性。 这项研究属于数论的一般数学领域。 数论的历史根源在于对整数的研究，解决诸如一个整数能否被另一个整数整除等问题。它是数学最古老的分支之一，几个世纪以来纯粹出于美学原因而被人们所追求。然而，在过去的半个世纪中，它已成为数据传输和处理以及通信系统等领域的各种应用中不可或缺的工具。
