We study the problem of \emph{robust satisfiability} of systems of nonlinear equations, namely, whether for a given continuous function $f:\,K\to\mathbb{R}^n$ on a~finite simplicial complex $K$ and $\alpha>0$, it holds that each function…
Let $G$ be a finite group and, for a given complex character $\chi$ of $G$, let ${\mathbb{Q}}(\chi)$ denote the field extension of ${\mathbb{Q}}$ obtained by adjoining all the values $\chi(g)$, for $g\in G$. The group $G$ is called…
Let $G$ be a complex, linear algebraic group acting on an algebraic space $X$. The purpose of this paper is to prove a Riemann-Roch theorem (Theorem 5.3) which gives a description of the completion of the equivariant Grothendieck group…
Let $G$ be a group. Let $X$ be a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$. Denote by $A=X(K)$ the set of $K$-points of $X$. We study a class of endomorphisms of pro-algebraic groups, namely algebraic group cellular…
Let $R$ be a complete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$ with algebraically closed fraction field $K$ and residue field $k$. Let $X/R$ be a smooth projective morphism. We show that if $X_k$ is stably rational, then $H^3(X_K,…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of $S_6$, the symmetric group of degree 6. For any field $k$, $G$ acts naturally on the rational function field $k(x_1,...,x_6)$ via $k$-automorphisms defined by $\sigma\cdot x_i=x_{\sigma(i)}$ for any $\sigma\in G$,…
A group $G$ is said to be equationally Noetherian if every system of equations in $G$ is equivalent to a finite subsystem. We show that all free-by-cyclic groups are equationally Noetherian. As a corollary, we deduce that the set of…
We prove a dynamical Shafarevich theorem on the finiteness of the set of isomorphism classes of rational maps with fixed degeneracies. More precisely, fix an integer d at least 2 and let K be either a number field or the function field of a…
A finite $p$-group $G$ is said to be $d$-maximal if $d(H)<d(G)$ for every subgroup $H<G$, where $d(G)$ denotes the minimal number of generators of $G$. A similar definition can be formulated when $G$ is acted on by some group $A$. We…
If $K$ is a closed subgroup of a compact group $G$, the probability that randomly chosen pair of elements from $K$ and $G$ commute is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Say that a subgroup $K\leq G$ is $\epsilon$-central in $G$ if $Pr(\langle g…
We prove a $p$-adic analog of Kunz's theorem: a $p$-adically complete noetherian ring is regular exactly when it admits a faithfully flat map to a perfectoid ring. This result is deduced from a more precise statement on detecting finiteness…
Let $E/k$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over a global function field $k$ of characteristic $p>3$, and $G\subset \mathrm{Gal}(k^{\mathrm{sep}}/k)$ be a topologically finitely generated subgroup. We prove that if $E/k$ has analytic rank…
We introduce a directed graph related to a group $G$, which we call the N-prime graph $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ of $G$ and which is a refinement of the classical Gruenberg-Kegel graph. The vertices of $\Gamma_{\rm{N}}(G)$ are the primes $p$ such…
Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, $\ell >3$, $K$ is a field that is an unramified finite extension of the field $\Q_\ell$ of $\ell$-adic numbers, and $G$ is a finite group that is a semi-direct product of a normal $\ell'$-subgroup $H$ and a…
For a finite group $G$, let $a_n(G)$ be the number of subgroups of order $n$ and define $\zeta_G(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n(G)n^{-s}$. Examples are known of non-isomorphic finite groups with the same group zeta function. However, no general…
Let $G$ be a group containing a nilpotent normal subgroup $N$ with central series $\{N_j\}$, such that each $N_j/N_{j+1}$ is a $\mathbb{F}$-vector space over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and the action of $G$ on $N_j/N_{j+1}$ induced by the…
