The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

A subgroup of a finite group G is said to be second maximal if it is maximal in every maximal subgroup of G that contains it. A question which has received considerable attention asks: can every positive integer occur as the number of the…

How to find "best rational approximations" of maximal commutative subgroups of GL(n,R)? In this paper we pose and make first steps in the study of this problem. It contains both classical problems of Diophantine and simultaneous…

In this note, we consider all possible extensions G of a non-trivial perfect group H acting faithfully on a K3 surface X. The pair (X, G) is proved to be uniquely determined by G if the transcendental value of G is maximum. In particular,…

Given an amenable second countable Hausdorff locally compact \'etale groupoid $\mathcal G$ such that each isotropy group $\mathcal G^x_x$ has local polynomial growth, we give a description of $\operatorname{Prim} C^*(\mathcal G)$ as a…

For a central perfect extension of groups $A \rightarrowtail G\twoheadrightarrow Q$, first we study the natural image of $H_3(A,\mathbb{Z})$ in $H_3(G, \mathbb{Z})$. As a particular case, we show that if the extension is universal this…

In this third part, we make the following hypothesis: representation $R=R(\alpha,\beta,\gamma ;l)$ of $W(p,q,r)$ is reducible and there exist a $G$-invariant non-nulle bilinear form where $G=Im R$. With those conditions, we know the…

Let G be an isotropic reductive algebraic group over a commutative ring R. Assume that the elementary subgroup E(R) of group of points G(R) is correctly defined. Then E(R) is perfect, except for the well-known cases of a split reductive…

This work concerns commutative algebras of the form $R=Q/I$, where $Q$ is a standard graded polynomial ring and $I$ is a homogenous ideal in $Q$. It has been proposed that when $R$ is Koszul the $i$th Betti number of $R$ over $Q$ is at most…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $\Omega(G)$ be its Burnside ring, and $\Delta(G)$ its augmentation ideal. Denote by $\Delta^n(G)$ and $Q_n(G)$ the $n$-th power of $\Delta(G)$ and the $n$-th consecutive quotient group…

Let $(G,N)$ be a pair of groups. In this article, first we construct a relative central extension for the pair $(G,N)$ such that special types of covering pair of $(G,N)$ are homomorphic image of it. Second, we show that every perfect pair…

Given a unital associative ring S and a subring R, we say that S is an ideal (or Dorroh) extension of R if for some ideal I of S, S = R + I, where the sum is direct. In this note we investigate the ideal structure of an arbitrary ideal…

The paper presents a subclass of the class of MD5-algebras and MD5-groups, i.e., five dimensional solvable Lie algebras and Lie groups such that their orbits in the co-adjoint representation (K-orbit) are orbit of zero or maximal dimension.…

For normal subgoups $R$ and $S$ of a free group $F$, an identification of the subgroup $F\cap (1+\mathfrak r\mathfrak f\mathfrak s)$ is derived, and it is shown that the the quotient $\frac{F\cap (1+\mathfrak r\mathfrak f\mathfrak…

Let $G$ denote the projective special linear group $\text{PSL}(2,q)$, for a prime power $q$. It is shown that a finite 2-subgroup of the group $V(\mathbb{Z}G)$ of augmentation 1 units in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of $G$ is…

We classify all triples $(G,V,H)$ such that $SL_n(q)\leq G\leq GL_n(q)$, $V$ is a representation of $G$ of dimension greater than one over an algebraically closed field $\FF$ of characteristic coprime to $q$, and $H$ is a proper subgroup of…

For $i=1,\ldots,k$, let $\mathbf{G}_i$ be a connected, simply connected, semisimple algebraic group over some local field $\kappa_i$ of characteristic zero. Let $G_i=\mathbf{G}_i(\kappa_i)$ be the $\kappa_i$-points of $\mathbf{G}_i$ and…
