Abstract:
It is shown that if G is a real nilpotent group of type D, then for every neighborhood U of the identity in G there is a discrete cocompact subgroup ${\Gamma _U}$ of G such that for every $\varphi \in {\operatorname {Aut}}(G),\varphi {\Gamma _U}$ and U have more elements in common than just the identity. This result is exactly the opposite of what is true when G is a semisimple Lie group.References
