Arithmetic groups and the Lehmer conjecture

Abstract: A. We generalize a result of Sury [Sur92] and prove that uniform discreteness of cocompact lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups (first conjectured by Margulis [Mar91]) is equivalent to a weak form of Lehmer's conjecture. We include a short survey of related results and conjectures.

“…The main new content of Theorem A is that the Salem conjecture implies the Margulis conjecture for any simple Lie group . The fact that Conjecture 1.3 follows from Conjecture 1.1 for any isotropic almost simple R-group already follows from the main theorem of the second-named author and F. Thilmany [PT21].…”
