Abstract

We consider solvable Lie groups which are isomorphic to unimodularizations of products of affine groups. It is shown that a lattice of such a Lie group is determined, up to commensurability, by a totally real algebraic number field. We also show that the outer automorphism group of the lattice is represented faithfully in the automorphism group of the number field. As an application, we obtain a classification of codimension one, volume preserving, locally free actions of products of affine groups.
