Let $\mathcal{G}^{(\lambda)}$ be a group scheme which deforms $\mathbb{G}_a$ to $\mathbb{G}_m$. We explicitly describe the Cartier dual of the $l$-th Frobenius type kernel $N_l$ of the group scheme $\mathcal{E}^{(\lambda,\mu;D)}$ which is…

This work was inspired by two natural questions. The first question is when Lie(G')=Lie(G)', where G is a connected algebraic supergroup defined over a field of characteristic zero. The second question is whether the unipotent radical of…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \ge 0$. A closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ is called $G$-completely reducible ($G$-cr) if whenever $H$ is contained in a parabolic…

We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra $L$ such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) $ L$ satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually-$p$…

We prove that for a finitely generated linear group G over a field of positive characteristic the family of quotients by finite subgroups has finite asymptotic dimension. We use this to show that the K-theoretic assembly map for the family…

A parabolic subalgebra $\mathfrak{p}$ of a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is called a parabolic subalgebra of abelian type if its nilpotent radical is abelian. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of the…

A group is small if it has countably many complete $n$-types over the empty set for each natural number n. More generally, a group $G$ is weakly small if it has countably many complete 1-types over every finite subset of G. We show here…
