Introduction to Bruhat-Tits Theory - Lecture 2

Explore the second lecture of a mini-course on Bruhat-Tits theory presented by Brian Conrad at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into advanced mathematical concepts as part of the program "Zariski Dense Subgroups, Number Theory and Geometric Applications." Gain insights into the theory of arithmetic and Zariski-dense subgroups, with applications to algebraic and differential geometry, combinatorics, and other areas. Learn about techniques used to investigate Zariski-dense subgroups, focusing on methods from algebraic and analytic number theory and arithmetic theory of algebraic groups. Discover how these concepts have been applied to solve long-standing problems in mathematics and their potential for future applications in geometry, topology, and mathematical physics.
