Abstract

Let Γ = SL(n, ℤ) or any subgroup of finite index, n ≥ 4. We show that the standard action of Γ on {Mathematical expression} n is locally rigid, i.e., every action of Γ on {Mathematical expression} n by C diffeomorphisms which is sufficiently close to the standard action is conjugate to the standard action by a C diffeomorphism. In the course of the proof, we obtain a global rigidity result (Theorem 4.12) for actions of free abelian subgroups of maximal rank in SL(n, ℤ).
