In this paper, we prove two structure theorems for twisted Chevalley groups $G_\sigma (R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ with unity. The first theorem concerns the normality of $E'_\sigma (R,J)$, the elementary congruence subgroups at level…

Recently, Chach\'olski, Neeman, Pitsch, and Scherer studied, in a series of three papers, model approximations for the unbounded category of cochain complexes over a commutative ring. These approximations allow to construct relative…

We show that if G is a split semisimple algebraic group over a model complete field K, then the groups G(K) and G(K)' (the commutator group which is a ``Chevalley group'' as for example the group PSL_2(K)) are model complete as well.

Let $R$ be any associative ring with $1$, $n\ge 3$, and let $A,B$ be two-sided ideals of $R$. In our previous joint works with Roozbeh Hazrat [17,15] we have found a generating set for the mixed commutator subgroup $[E(n,R,A),E(n,R,B)]$.…

Let A be a quasi-finite R-algebra (i.e., a direct limit of module finite algebras) with identity. Let I_i, i=0,...,m, be two-sided ideals of A, \GL_n(A,I_i) the principal congruence subgroup of level I_i in GL_n(A) and E_n(A,I_i) be the…

The present paper is the [slightly expanded] text of our talk at the Conference "Advances in Group Theory and Applications" at Porto Cesareo in June 2011. Our main results assert that [elementary] Chevalley groups very rarely have finite…

The goal of this paper is to construct quantum analogues of Chevalley groups inside completions of quantum groups or, more precisely, inside completions of Hall algebras of finitary categories. In particular, we obtain pentagonal and other…

We analyze the abstract representations of the groups of rational points of even-dimensional quasi-split special unitary groups associated with quadratic field extensions. We show that, under certain assumptions, such representations have a…

We prove a higher-dimensional Chevalley restriction theorem for orthogonal groups, which was conjectured by Chen and Ng\^{o} for reductive groups. In characteristic $p>2$, we also prove a weaker statement. In characteristic $0$, the theorem…

We prove a category equivalence between algebraic supergroups and Harish-Chandra pairs over a commutative ring which is $2$-torsion free. The result is applied to re-construct the Chevalley $\mathbb{Z}$-supergroups constructed by Fioresi…

We generalise the expansion formulae of Musiker, Schiffler and Williams, obtained for cluster algebras from orientable surfaces, to a larger class of coefficients which we call principal laminations. In doing so, for any quasi-cluster…

A general method for calculating or constructing lower central factors of groups is presented. {\it Relative basic commutators} are defined.

Let $(\FormR)$ be a form ring such that $A$ is quasi-finite $R$-algebra (i.e., a direct limit of module finite algebras) with identity. We consider the hyperbolic Bak's unitary groups $\GU(2n,\FormR)$, $n\ge 3$. For a form ideal…

In the framework of algebraic supergeometry, we give a construction of the scheme-theoretic supergeometric analogue of Chevalley groups, namely affine algebraic supergroups associated to simple Lie superalgebras of classical type. In…

The Chen groups of a finitely-presented group G are the lower central series quotients of its maximal metabelian quotient, G/G''. The direct sum of the Chen groups is a graded Lie algebra, with bracket induced by the group commutator. If G…

This paper presents algebraic methods for the study of polynomial relative invariants, when the group G formed by the symmetries and relative symmetries is a compact Lie group. We deal with the case when the subgroup H of symmetries is…

Let W be a finite reflection group acting orthogonally on R^n, P be the Chevalley polynomial mapping determined by an integrity basis of the algebra of W-invariant polynomials, and h be the highest degree of the coordinate polynomials in…

For $\mathfrak{g}$ a simple Lie algebra and $G$ its adjoint group, the Chevalley map and work of Coxeter gives a concrete description of the algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $\mathfrak{g}$ in terms of traces over various…

We present a framework that connects three interesting classes of groups: the twisted groups (also known as Suzuki-Ree groups), the mixed groups and the exotic pseudo-reductive groups. For a given characteristic p, we construct categories…

We generalize the notion of an approximate indicator for a closed subgroup $H$ of a locally compact group $G$ introduced by Aristov, Runde, and Spronk and extend their characterization of the existence of such nets in terms of the…
