An algebraic group is called semi-reductive if it is a semi-direct product of a reductive subgroup and the unipotent radical. Such a semi-reductive algebraic group naturally arises and also plays a key role in the study of modular…

We prove a number of structural and representation-theoretic results on linearly reductive quantum groups, i.e. objects dual to that of cosemisimple Hopf algebras: (a) a closed normal quantum subgroup is automatically linearly reductive if…

We give closed formulas for the abelian Galois cohomology groups H^1_{ab}(F,G) and H^2_{ab}(F,G) of a connected reductive group G over a global field F in terms of the algebraic fundamental group \pi_1(G) introduced earlier by one of us…
