We prove that given a super affine closed subgroup $H$ of a super affine group $G$ over a field $k$ of charctersitic $\mathrm{ch} k \ne 2$, the dur $k$-sheaf $G\tilde{\tilde{/}} H$ of right cosets is affine if the affine $k$-group $\bar{H}$…

In this paper we describe the structure of the space of parabolic reductions, and their compactifications, of principal $G$-bundles over a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. We first…

A remarkable result of Thompson states that a finite group is soluble if and only if its two-generated subgroups are soluble. This result has been generalized in numerous ways, and it is in the core of a wide area of research in the theory…

We prove a structure theorem for periodic locally soluble groups satisfying a chain condition on intersections of relatively uniformly definable subgroups using results from the theory of stable groups. The result in particular shows that…

In this paper we present an algorithm for determining whether a subgroup H of a non-connected reductive group G is G-completely reducible. The algorithm consists of a series of reductions; at each step, we perform operations involving…

We give a necessary and sufficient smoothness condition for the scheme parameterizing the n-dimensional representations of a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular,…

We present, in the same vein as in [20] and [21], some results of the so-called "Smooth (or $\mathcal{C}^\infty$) Commutative Algebra", a version of Commutative Algebra of $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}-$rings instead of ordinary commutative unital…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $k$. We say that a $G$-torsor is essentially finite if it admits a reduction to a finite…

We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…

We prove that any countable discrete and torsion free subgroup of a general linear group over an arbitrary field or a similar subgroup of an almost connected Lie group satisfies the integral algebraic K-theoretic (split) Novikov conjecture…

Free products of two residually finite groups with amalgamated retracts are considered. It is proved that a cyclic subgroup of such a group is not finitely separable if, and only if, it is conjugated with a subgroup of a free factor which…

We consider the action of the Levi subgroup of a parabolic subgroup that stabilizes a Schubert variety. We show that a smooth Schubert variety is a homogeneous space for a parabolic subgroup, or it has a smooth Schubert divisor. Further, we…

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $G$ be a split semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Its dual group $\hat{G}$ is a split reductive group over $\mathbb{Z}$.…

We prove that the closure of every Jordan class J in a semisimple simply connected complex group G at a point x with Jordan decomposition x = rv is smoothly equivalent to the union of closures of those Jordan classes in the centraliser of r…

We generalize results of P. Schneider and U. Stuhler for GL_l+1 to a reductive algebraic group G defined and split over a non-archimedean local field K. Following their lines, we prove that the generalized Steinberg representations of G…

We prove a rigidity result for automorphisms of points of certain stacks admitting adequate moduli spaces. It encompasses as special cases variations of the moduli of $G$-bundles on a smooth projective curve for a reductive algebraic group…

Francesco Severi showed that equisingular families of plane nodal curves are T-smooth, i.e. smooth of the expected dimension, whenever they are non-empty. For families with more complicated singularities this is no longer true. Given a…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, and $S$ an scheme over $k$. An $F$-zip is basically a locally free $O_S$-module of finite rank endowed with two filtration and an Frobenius-linear isomorphism between their graded pieces.…
