Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, and assume that $p$ is a very good prime for $G$. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup whose unipotent radical $U_P$ has nilpotence class less than…

We study the definable topological dynamics $(G,S_G(M))$ of a definable group acting on its type space, where $M$ is a structure and $G$ is a group definable in $M$. In \cite{Newelski-I}, Newelski raised a question of whether weakly generic…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p. Let G be a (connected) reductive group that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of F. We show that a construction analogous to Yu's construction of complex…

For most classical and similitude groups, we show that each element can be written as a product of two transformations that a) preserve or almost preserve the underlying form and b) whose squares are certain scalar maps. This generalizes…

We use geometry of the wonderful compactification to obtain a new proof of the relation between Deligne-Lusztig (or Alvis-Curtis) duality for $p$-adic groups and the homological duality. This provides a new way to introduce an involution on…

Let $F/F_{\mathsf{o}}$ be a quadratic extension of non-archimedean locally compact fields of odd residual characteristic and $\sigma$ be its non-trivial automorphism. We show that any $\sigma$-self-dual cuspidal representation of ${\rm…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Under some restrictions on the size of $p$, the present paper establishes new results on the $G$-module structure of…

We prove that, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, a semisimple Hopf algebra that has a nontrivial self-dual simple module must have even dimension. This generalizes a classical result of W. Burnside. As an…

A duality theorem for the stable module category of representations of a finite group scheme is proved. One of its consequences is an analogue of Serre duality, and the existence of Auslander-Reiten triangles for the $\mathfrak{p}$-local…

In [HJLLZ24], we proposed a new conjecture on the structure of the unitary dual of connected reductive groups over non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic zero based on their Arthur representations and verified it for all the known…

For polynomials of degree two over finite fields, we present an improvement of Fitzgerald's characterization (Finite Fields Appl. 9(1):117-121, 2003). We then use this new characterization to obtain an explicit, complete, and simple…

A linear algebraic group G defined over a field k is called special if every G-torsor over every field extension of k is trivial. In 1958 Grothendieck classified special groups in the case where the base field is algebraically closed. In…

Let $K$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation field with residue field admitting a finite $p$-basis, and let $G_K$ be the Galois group. We first classify semi-stable representations of $G_K$ by weakly admissible filtered…

Let $G$ be a finite group and, for a prime $p$, let $S$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. A character $\chi$ of $G$ is called $\Syl_p$-regular if the restriction of $\chi$ to $S$ is the character of the regular representation of $S$. If, in…

We study congruences involving $p$-adic families of Hecke eigensystems of Yoshida lifts associated with two Hida families (say $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$) of elliptic cusp forms. With appropriate hypotheses, we show that if a Hida family of…

Let $G$ be a finite primitive permutation group on a set $\Omega$ with nontrivial point stabilizer $G_{\alpha}$. We say that $G$ is extremely primitive if $G_{\alpha}$ acts primitively on each of its orbits in $\Omega \setminus \{\alpha\}$.…

Let $k$ be a field, and $G$ be a $k$-group scheme of finite type. Let $G_{\mathrm{ad}}$ be the $k$-scheme $G$ with the adjoint action of $G$. We call $\lambda_{G,G}=H^0(\mathop{\mathrm{Spec}} k,e^*(\omega_{G_{\mathrm{ad}}}))$ the Knop…

We introduce the H-type deviation $\delta({\mathbb G})$ of a step two Carnot group ${\mathbb G}$, which measures the deviation of the group from the class of Heisenberg-type groups. We show that $\delta({\mathbb G})=0$ if and only if…

We consider the problem of classifying gradings by groups on a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ (with any number of multilinear operations) over an algebraically closed field. We introduce a class of gradings, which we call almost fine, such…

Let B be a p-block of a finite group G with abelian defect group D such that S\unlhd G, S'=S, G/Z(S)\le\Aut(S) and S/Z(S) is a sporadic simple group. We show that B is isotypic to its Brauer correspondent in N_G(D) in the sense of Brou\'e.…
