This is a past event

Bi-invariant metrics on lattices in Chevalley groups are bounded.

I will prove what is stated in the title.

The proof relies on the bounded generation property which I will explain.

The model example is, of course, SL(n,Z) for n>2. I will present many more examples and a motivation. This a joint work with S. Gal and it benefited from my discussions with Colin, Dave, Geoff and Meinolf. http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.0423
