I give a proof of Zel'manov's theorem that if $L$ is an $n$-Engel Lie algebra over a field $F$ of characteristic zero then $L$ is (globally) nilpotent. This is a very important result which extends Kostrikin's theorem that $L$ is locally…

It is proven that in the universal splitexact equivariant algebraic $KK$-theory for algebras, the $K$-theory groups coincide with classical $K$-theory in the sense of Phillips. This partially answers a question raised by Kasparov.

We show that the definition of unipotent (resp. nilpotent) pieces for classical groups given by Lusztig (resp. Lusztig and the author) coincides with the combinatorial definition using closure relations on unipotent classes (resp. nilpotent…

We establish a general Liouville type theorem for conformally invariant fully nonlinear equations.

Our paper begins with a revision of spectral theory for commutative Banach algebras, which enables us to prove the $L^p_{\omega}-$conjecture for locally compact abelian groups. We follow an alternative approach to the one known in the…

We describe the structure of ``K-approximate subgroups'' of torsion-free nilpotent groups, paying particular attention to Lie groups. Three other works, by Fisher-Katz-Peng, Sanders and Tao, have appeared which independently address related…

For any countable group, and also for any locally compact second countable, compactly generated topological group, G, we show the existence of a "universal" hypercyclic (i.e. topologically transitive) representation on a Hilbert space, in…

The work is my Ph D thesis (dissertation for obtaining candidate of sciences degree in Russia) fulfilled under direction of D. A. Raikov and defended under supervision of N. Ya. Vilenkin and S. V. Ptchelintsev. In the dissertatin I gave…

The aim of the paper is to popularise nilpotent Lie groups (notably the Heisenberg group and alike) in the context of Clifford analysis and related models of mathematical physics. It is argued that these groups are underinvestigated in…

This paper contains a stronger version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank.

This paper provides a comparison between the $K$-structure of unipotent representations and regular sections of bundles on nilpotent orbits for complex groups of type $D$. Precisely, let $ G_ 0 =Spin(2n,\mathbb C)$ be the Spin complex group…

The aim of this brief note is to offer another proof of a theorem of Hrushovski that approximate subgroups of GL_n(C) are almost nilpotent. This approach generalizes to uniformly non amenable groups.

This is an old article of 2000. Its aim is to illustrate how a Lie-theoretic result of Zelmanov enables one to treat various problems in group theory.

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

We construct a 3-variable enrichment of the Lawrence-Krammer-Bigelow (LKB) representation of the braid groups, which is the limit of a pro-nilpotent tower of representations having the original LKB representation as its bottom layer. We…

This paper develops a theory of polynomial maps from commutative semigroups to arbitrary groups and proves that it has desirable formal properties when the target group is locally nilpotent. We apply this theory to solve Waring's Problem…

This is a long overdue write up of the following: If the fundamental group of a normal complex algebraic variety (respectively Zariski open subset of a compact K\"ahler manifold) is a solvable group of matrices over Q (respectively…

Carrier graphs of groups representing subgroups of a given relatively hyperbolic groups are introduced and a combination theorem for relatively quasi-convex subgroups is proven. Subsequently a theory of folds for such carrier graphs is…

We observe a correspondence between collections of closed subgroups and normal subgroups in totally disconnected locally compact groups. This correspondence is applied to prove structure theorems for two classes of totally disconnected…

This note is an application of classification results for finite-dimensional Nichols algebras over groups. We apply these results to generalizations of Fomin--Kirillov algebras to complex reflection groups. First, we focus on the case of…
