In the second part of the course, we will talk about the model theory of lattices in high rank simple Lie groups. The latter behave very differently from the first. These lattices are all arithmetic ( by Margulis seminal work) and their model theory is related to other properties, like super-rigidity, bounded generations, the congruence subgroup problem and more. All needed material will be explained. יצוא אירוע iCal url
