Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3, let $G$ be an almost simple algebraic group of type $F_4$, $G_2$ or $D_4$ and let $\theta$ be an automorphism of $G$ of finite order, coprime to the…

We compute invariants of quadratic forms associated to orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. This allows us to determine some commensurabilities between these groups, as well as to say when some thin groups cannot be conjugate to…

In this paper, we investigate the difference between weak second maximal subgroups and second maximal subgroups. A sufficient and necessary condition is also given to describe such class of groups whose weak second maximal subgroups…

Let S be a finitely generated subsemigroup of Z^2. We derive a general formula for the K-theory of the left regular C*-algebra for S.

According to Comfort, Raczkowski and Trigos-Arrieta, a dense subgroup D of a compact abelian group G determines G if the restriction homomorphism G^ --> D^ of the dual groups is a topological isomorphism. We introduce four conditions on D…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $cd(G)$ denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is an almost simple group whose socle is Mathieu group such that $cd(G)…

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime. A module for G over a field of characteristic p is called algebraic if it satisfies a polynomial, with addition and multiplication given by direct sum and tensor product. In some sense, having…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…

Let G be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p>0 with root system R, and let ${\mathfrak g}={\cal L}(G)$ be its restricted Lie algebra. Let V be a finite dimensional ${\mathfrak…

Assume $G\prec H$ are groups and ${\cal A}\subseteq{\cal P}(G),\ {\cal B}\subseteq{\cal P}(H)$ are algebras of sets closed under left group translation. Under some additional assumptions we find algebraic connections between the Ellis…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p\geqslant 0$, let $H$ be a proper closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a nontrivial irreducible $KG$-module, which is $p$-restricted, tensor…

Given a not-necessarily Hausdorff, topologically free, twisted \'etale groupoid $(G, L)$, we consider its "essential groupoid C*-algebra", denoted $C^*_{ess}(G, L)$, obtained by completing $C_c(G, L)$ with the smallest among all…

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

We show an analogue of a theorem of An, Ghosh, Guan, and Ly on weighted badly approximable vectors for totally imaginary number fields. We show that for $G=\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\times\dots\times\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ and $\Gamma<G$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a $T$-ideal of identities of an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic zero. Consider the family $\mathcal{M}_{\Gamma}$ of finite dimensional algebras $\Sigma$ with $Id(\Sigma) = \Gamma$.…

Let $k$ be a nonperfect field of characteristic $2$. Let $G$ be a $k$-split simple algebraic group of type $E_6$ (or $G_2$) defined over $k$. In this paper, we present the first examples of nonabelian non-$G$-completely reducible…

The study of finite subgroups of a simple algebraic group $G$ reduces in a sense to those which are almost simple. If an almost simple subgroup of $G$ has a socle which is not isomorphic to a group of Lie type in the underlying…

In this paper we prove that any strongly embedded subgroup of a K*-group G of finite Morley rank and odd type that does not interpret any bad field is solvable if its Pruefer 2-rank is at least 2. If the normal 2-rank of G is at least 3…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact, second countable groups. Assume that $G$ acts in a measure class preserving way on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$ such that $L^\infty(X,\mu)$ has an invariant mean and that there is a Borel…

We prove that if G is a discrete group that admits a metrically proper action on a finite-dimensional CAT(0) cube complex X, then G is weakly amenable. We do this by constructing uniformly bounded Hilbert space representations for which the…
