Congruence properties of Zariski-dense subgroups. I. (English) Zbl 0551.20029

The authors prove the following Theorem. Let G be a connected simply connected absolutely almost simple algebraic group defined over \({\mathbb{Q}}\) and let \(\Gamma\) be a finitely generated subgroup in G(\({\mathbb{Q}})\) which is Zariski-dense in G. Then for all sufficiently large prime numbers p the reduction \(\Gamma_ p\) of \(\Gamma\) coincides withe \(G_ p({\mathbb{F}}_ p)\). They give also applications of this theorem to the study of properties of p-adic and adelic closures of various subgroups in G.
