As an application, we prove partial results supporting a positive answer to a question asked by M. Gromov, suggesting a classical behaviour of continuous L^p-cohomology of simple real Lie groups. In addition to quasi-isometric invariance, the ingredients are a spectral sequence argument […]

Approximate groups were discovered independently in various contexts and I will describe how they arise very naturally in the context of arithmetic groups. I will then explain how to extend topological finiteness properties of groups to approximate groups. This allows to make a connection betweenarithmetic groups in positive characteristic and arithmetic approximate groups in characteristic zero. The […]
