The Margulis–Platonov conjecture over global fields
Proves the Margulis–Platonov conjecture over every global field, including function fields of characteristic two. For an absolutely almost simple simply connected algebraic group G over k, every noncentral abstract normal subgroup of is the inverse image of an open normal subgroup in the finite product of its anisotropic nonarchimedean local groups.

The Margulis–Platonov conjecture over global function fields
Oct 5, 2026·margulis-platonov-global-function-fields.pdf
We prove the Margulis–Platonov conjecture over every global function field, including characteristic two. For an absolutely almost simple simply connected algebraic group, every noncentral abstract normal subgroup of its rational points is the inverse image of an open normal subgroup of the finite product of its anisotropic local groups.

We prove the Margulis–Platonov conjecture over number fields. For an absolutely almost simple simply connected group, every noncentral abstract normal subgroup of its rational points is the inverse image of an open normal subgroup of the product of its anisotropic nonarchimedean local groups.
