We carry out a study of groups $G$ in which the index of any infinite subgroup is finite. We call them restricted-finite groups and characterize finitely generated not torsion restricted-finite groups. We show that every infinite…

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…

A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and the Lie algebra Lie(G). A Cayley map can be thought of as a…

Let G be an almost simple reductive group with Weyl group W. Let B be a Borel subgroup of G. Let C be an elliptic conjugacy class in W and let w be an element of minimal length of C. We investigate the existence of a semisimple class of G…

The Stable Reduction Theorem guarantees that any smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a discretely valued field admits a unique stable model after a finite field extension. Computing this model is a…

For a connected quasi-split reductive algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$, which is either a finite field or a non-archimedean local field, $\theta$ an involutive automorphism of $G$ over $k$, let $K =G^\theta$. Let $K^1=[K^0,K^0]$, the…

A subshift on a group G is a closed, G-invariant subset of A^G, for some finite set A. It is said to be a subshift of finite type (SFT) if it is defined by a finite collection of 'forbidden patterns', to be strongly aperiodic if all point…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g\geq 2$ such that $G$ acts faithfully and orientation-preserving on a closed compact orientable surface of genus $g$. This article is an overview of some results relating the…

We prove that, given $\epsilon>0$ and $k\geq 1$, there is an integer $n$ such that the following holds. Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is $k$-stable. Then there is a normal subgroup $H\leq G$ of index at most $n$, and a…

For a reductive group scheme $G$ over a semilocal Dedekind ring $R$ with total ring of fractions $K$, we prove that no nontrivial $G$-torsor trivializes over $K$. This generalizes a result of Nisnevich-Tits, who settled the case when $R$ is…

Hyperbolic-parabolic systems have spatially homogenous stationary states. When the dissipation is weak, one can derive weakly nonlinear-dissipative approximations that govern perturbations of these constant states. These approximations are…

The theory of minimal K-types for p-adic reductive groups was developed in part to classify irreducible admissible representations with wild ramification. An important observation was that minimal K-types associated to such representations…

We prove the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for quasi-split reductive groups schemes. Our method involves reducing to the Borel subgroup in order to conclude the result from purity for tori and the structure theorem for unipotent radicals of…

We investigate pairs $(G,Y)$, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group and $Y$ a purely-odd $G$-superscheme, asking when a pair corresponds to a quasi-reductive algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$, that is, $\mathbb{G}_{\text{ev}}$ is…

Inspired by the classical category theorems of Halmos and Rohlin for the discrete measure preserving transformations, we prove analogous results in the abstract setting of unitary and isometric C_0-semigroups on a separable Hilbert space.…

Let $k$ be a field. We investigate the relationship between subgroups of a pseudo-reductive $k$-group $G$ and its maximal reductive quotient $G'$, with applications to the subgroup structure of $G$. Let $k'/k$ be the minimal field of…

A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e. a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and its Lie algebra Lie(G). A prototypical example is the classical…

We show that every quasitrivial n-ary semigroup is reducible to a binary semigroup, and we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for such a reduction to be unique. These results are then refined in the case of symmetric n-ary…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. We say that $H$ satisfies partial $\Pi$-property in $G$ if there exists a chief series $\mathit{\Gamma}_G:1=G_0<G_1<\cdots<G_n=G$ of $G$ such that for every $G$-chief factor $G_i/G_{i-1}$ ($1\leq…

A number of properties of spherical Artin groups extend to Garside groups, defined as the groups of fractions of monoids where least common multiples exist, there is no nontrivial unit, and some additional finiteness conditions are…
