We study a weakened version of the Holm--Willems Local Conjecture. The problem is reduced to quasi-simple groups under the assumption that the defect group is abelian. Complete proofs are provided in the case \(p = 2\).

The aim of this paper is to confirm an inequality predicted by Isaacs and Navarro in 1995, which asserts that for any $\pi'$-subgroup $Q$ of a $\pi$-separable group $G$, the number of $\pi'$-weights of $G$ with $Q$ as the first component…

Humphreys' conjecture on blocks parametrises the blocks of reduced enveloping algebras $U_\chi({\mathfrak g})$, where ${\mathfrak g}$ is the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

We produce new short laws in two variables valid in finite groups of Lie type. Our result improves upon results of Kozma and the second named author, and is sharp up to logarithmic factors, for all families except possibly the Suzuki…

We describe a new approach for classifying conjugacy classes of elementary abelian subgroups in simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field, and understanding the normaliser and centraliser structure of these. For toral…

We develop a detailed arithmetic theory related to special values at arbitrary integers of the Artin $L$-series of linear characters. To do so we define canonical generalized Stark elements of arbitrary `rank' and `weight', thereby…

We study N\'eron models of pseudo-Abelian varieties over excellent discrete valuation rings of equal characteristic $p>0$ and generalize the notions of good reduction and semiabelian reduction to such algebraic groups. We prove that the…

In 1979, Miller proved that for a group $G$ of odd order, two minimal group codes in $\mathbb{F}_2G$ are $G$-equivalent if and only they have identical weight distribution. In 2014, Ferraz-Guerreiro-Polcino Milies disprove Miller's result…

Let F be a totally real field and p an odd prime. If r is a continuous, semisimple, totally odd mod p representation of the absolute Galois group of F which is tamely ramified at all places of F dividing p, then we formulate a conjecture…

In this work we define operator-valued Fourier transforms for suitable integrable elements with respect to the Plancherel weight of a (not necessarily Abelian) locally compact group. Our main result is a generalized version of the Fourier…

A descent conjecture of Wittenberg [Wit24, Conjecture 3.7.4] predicts that if all the twists of a rationally connected torsor over a smooth base satisfy weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction, then so does the base. We give an…

In the present paper, we study a purely inseparable counterpart of Abhyankar's conjecture for the affine line in positive characteristic, and prove its validity for all the finite local non-abelian simple group schemes in characteristic…

This paper, and its companion [BCV24], are devoted to a negative resolution of the Aldous--Lyons Conjecture [AL07, Ald07]. This conjecture, originated in probability theory, is well known (cf. [Gel18]) to be equivalent to the statement that…

The main result of the paper is that if $A$ is an abelian variety over a subfield $F$ of ${\bold C}$, and $A$ has purely multiplicative reduction at a discrete valuation of $F$, then the Hodge group of $A$ is semisimple. Further, we give…

We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…

Let $G$ be a finite almost simple group and let $H$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. As a special case of a theorem of Zenkov, there exist $x,y \in G$ such that $H \cap H^x \cap H^y = 1$. In fact, if $G$ is simple, then a theorem of Mazurov…

We prove (by a case-by-case analysis) a conjecture of Bernstein/Schwarzman to the effect that quotients of abelian varieties by suitable actions of (complex) reflection groups are weighted projective spaces, and show that this remains true…

In [R2] and [RO] the Arnold conjecture for closed symplectic manifolds with trivial second homotopy group was proved. This proof used surgery and cobordism theory. Here we give a purely cohomological proof of this result.

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geq 0$. At the 1966 International Congress of Mathematicians in Moscow, Robert Steinberg conjectured that two elements $a, a' \in G$ are…
