We develop an approach to the character theory of certain classes of finite and profinite groups based on the construction of a Lie algebra associated to such a group, but without making use of the notion of a polarization which is central…

Equations over linearly ordered semilattices are studied. For any equation $t(X)=s(X)$ we find irreducible components of its solution set and compute the average number of irreducible components of all equations in $n$ variables.

We study orbits in a family of Markoff-like surfaces with extra off-diagonal terms over prime fields $\mathbb{F}_p$. It is shown that, for a typical surface of this form, every non-trivial orbit has size divisible by $p$. This extends a…

We study the quasi-admissibility and raisablility of some nilpotent orbits of a covering group. In particular, we determine the degree of the cover such that a given split nilpotent orbit is quasi-admissible and non-raisable. The speculated…

In general, a nilpotent orbit closure in a complex simple Lie algebra \g, does not have a crepant resolution. But, it always has a Q-factorial terminalization by the minimal model program. According to B. Fu, a nilpotent orbit closure has a…

Let $S$ be a finitely generated abelian semigroup of invertible linear operators on a finite dimensional real or complex vector space $V$. We show that every coarsely dense orbit of $S$ is actually dense in $V$. More generally, if the orbit…
