Let $X$ be a smooth curve over a finitely generated field $k$, and let $\ell$ be a prime different from the characteristic of $k$. We analyze the dynamics of the Galois action on the deformation rings of mod $\ell$ representations of the…

We prove that every locally inner (class-preserving) endomorphism of adjoint Chevalley groups and their elementary subgroups over commutative rings is inner for the root systems A1, A2, B2 (assuming 2 is invertible in the ring), and for G2…

Let G be a finite group, and let E be a generalised cohomology theory, subject to certain technical conditions. We study a certain ring C(E,G) that is the best possible approximation to E^0BG that can be built using only knowledge of the…

In this paper, we introduce and study the projectively coresolved Gorenstein flat dimension of a group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ and we prove that this dimension enjoys all the properties of the cohomological and the Gorenstein…

W.H.~Mills has determined, for a finitely generated abelian group $G$, the regular subgroups $N \cong G$ of $S(G)$, the group of permutations on the set $G$, which have the same holomorph of $G$, that is, such that $N_{S(G)}(N) =…

We define a GL-variety to be a (typically infinite dimensional) algebraic variety equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group under which the coordinate ring forms a polynomial representation. Such varieties have been used…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

For a simply laced and hyperbolic Kac--Moody group $G=G(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ with 1, we consider a map from a finite presentation of $G(R)$ obtained by Allcock and Carbone to a representation--theoretic construction…

This paper is an expanded and updated version of the preprint arXiv:math/0406499. It includes a more detailed description of the basics of the theory of Cherednik and Hecke algebras of varieties started in arXiv:math/0406499, as well as a…

In this paper we establish a definitive result which almost completely closes the problem of bounded elementary generation for Chevalley groups of rank $\ge 2$ over arbitrary Dedekind rings $R$ of arithmetic type, with uniform bounds.…

Let $F$ be a local non-archimedian field of odd residue characteristic and let $G=PGL(2)$. In this paper we study an analog of irreducible cuspidal representations of the group $G(F)$ when $F$ is replaced by the field $K=F((t))$. The story…

Generators and relations are given for the subalgebra of cocommutative elements in the quantized coordinate rings of the classical groups, where the deformation parameter q is transcendental. This is a ring theoretic formulation of the well…

Let $X$ denote an equivariant embedding of a connected reductive group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $B$ denote a Borel subgroup of $G$ and let $Z$ denote a $B \times B$-orbit closure in $X$. When the characteristic of $k$…

We prove that every isomorphism of Chevalley groups of type $G_2$ over commutative local rings with 1/2 and 1/3 is standard, i. e., it is a composition of a ring isomorphism and an inner automorphism.

Isotropic odd unitary groups generalize Chevalley groups of classical types over commutative rings and their twisted forms. Such groups have root subgroups parameterized by a root system $\mathsf{BC}_\ell$ and may be constructed by…

We prove various finiteness and representability results for cohomology of finite flat abelian group schemes. In particular, we show that if $f\colon X\rightarrow \mathrm{Spec}(k)$ is a projective scheme over a field $k$ and $G$ is a finite…

Let $F$ be an infinite division ring, $V$ be a left $F$-vector space, $r>0$ be an integer. We study the structure of the representation of the linear group $\mathrm{GL}_F(V)$ in the vector space of formal finite linear combinations of…

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…

Let $f:\mathcal{X}\to S$ be a proper holomorphic submersion of complex manifolds and $G$ a complex reductive linear algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Assume also given a holomorphic principal $G$-bundle $\mathcal{P}$ over…

We classify the linearly reductive finite subgroup schemes $G$ of $SL_2=SL(V)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, up to conjugation. As a corollary, we prove that such $G$ is in one-to-one correspondence with…
