Given a higher rank arithmetic group (E.g. SL(3,Z)) it has r(n) complex irreducible representations of degree n. We will study the the rate of growth of r(n), the associated zeta function SUM(r(n)n^(-s)), its Euler factorisation etc. Some...

Closed subgroups of the automorphism group of a tree which acts locally primitively have a rich structure theory. Combined with superrigidity for irreducible lattices in products of trees such that the projection in each factor is locally primitive...
