We give a quadratic lower bound on the dimension of the space of conjugacy classes of subgroups of SL(n,R) that are limits under conjugacy of the diagonal subgroup. We give the first explicit examples of abelian n-1 dimensional subgroups of SL(n,R) which are not such a limit, however all such abelian groups are limits of the diagonal group iff n < 5.

A limit group is the limit of a sequence of conjugates of the diagonal Cartan subgroup, C, of SL(3,R). We show C has 5 possible limit groups, up to conjugacy. Each limit group is determined by an equivalence class of nonstandard triangle, and we give a criterion for a sequence of conjugates of C to converge to each of the 5 limit groups.
We study the Chabauty compactification of two families of closed subgroups of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. The first family is the set of all parahoric subgroups of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. Although the Chabauty compactification of parahoric subgroups is well studied, we give a different and more geometric proof using various Levi decompositions of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $C$ be the subgroup of diagonal matrices in $SL(n, mathbb{Q}_p)$. The second family is the set of all $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of $C$. We give a classification of the Chabauty limits of conjugates of $C$ using the action of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$ on its associated Bruhat--Tits building and compute all of the limits for $nleq 4$ (up to conjugacy). In contrast, for $ngeq 7$ we prove there are infinitely many $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-nonconjugate Chabauty limits of conjugates of $C$. Along the way we construct an explicit homeomorphism between the Chabauty compactification in $mathfrak{sl}(n, mathbb{Q}_p)$ of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of the $p$-adic Lie algebra of $C$ and the Chabauty compactification of $SL(n,mathbb{Q}_p)$-conjugates of $C$.
In this article we describe the summit sets in B_3, the smallest element in a summit set and we compute the Hilbert series corresponding to conjugacy classes.The results will be related to Birman-Menesco classification of knots with braid index three or less than three.
We prove that various subgroups of the mapping class group $Mod(Sigma)$ of a surface $Sigma$ are at least exponentially distorted. Examples include the Torelli group (answering a question of Hamenstadt), the point-pushing and surface braid subgroups, and the Lagrangian subgroup. Our techniques include a method to compute lower bounds on distortion via representation theory and an extension of Johnson theory to arbitrary subgroups of $H_1(Sigma;mathbb{Z})$.
This paper uses work of Haettel to classify all subgroups of PGL(4,R) isomorphic to (R^3 , +), up to conjugacy. We use this to show there are 4 families of generalized cusps up to projective equivalence in dimension 3.
