We give a constructive elementary proof for the fact that any K-automorphism of the full nxn matrix algebra over a field K is conjugation by some invertible nxn matrix A over K.
Given a function field $K$ and $\phi \in K[x]$, we study two finiteness questions related to iteration of $\phi$: whether all but finitely many terms of an orbit of $\phi$ must possess a primitive prime divisor, and whether the Galois…
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We study a generalization of the notion of G-complete reducibility in the context of Steinberg endomorphisms of G. Our…
Let (k1,k2,k3,k4) be a quartet of cyclic cubic number fields sharing a common conductor c=pqr divisible by exactly three prime(power)s p,q,r. For those components k of the quartet whose 3-class group Cl(3,k) = Z/3Z x Z/3Z is elementary…
In this article we prove that the numerical Grothendieck group of every smooth proper dg category is invariant under primary field extensions, and also that the mod-n algebraic K-theory of every dg category is invariant under extensions of…
It is known that the norm map N_G for a finite group G acting on a ring R is surjective if and only if for every elementary abelian subgroup E of G the norm map N_E for E is surjective. Equivalently, there exists an element x_G in R with…
For all $k \ge 2$, we show that there exists a group $G$ and a non-free stably free $\mathbb{Z} G$-module of rank $k$. We use this to show that, for all $k \ge 2$, there exist homotopically distinct finite $2$-complexes with fundamental…
This paper investigates the structure of $K_2$-groups for certain quotient rings of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$. Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group with $p$-rank $r$, let $\Gamma$ be the maximal $\mathbb{Z}$-order of…
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\mathbf{K}_p$ denote the completion at $p$ of the complex $K$-theory spectrum. $\mathbf{K}_p$ is a commutative ring spectrum that in some ways is very similar to the usual ring $\mathbf{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic…
Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $K$ a non-trivial conjugacy class of $G$ such that $KK^{-1}=1\cup D\cup D^{-1}$ with $D$ a conjugacy class of $G$. We prove that $G$ is not a non-abelian simple group. We also give arithmetical…
We study whether the norm one torus associated with a finite separable non-Galois field extension $K/k$ is $p$-retract rational over $k$ for a prime $p$, focusing on the case where the Galois group of the Galois closure of $K/k$ is either…
Let $G$ be a finite group. Then there exists a first-order statement $S(G)$ in the language of rings without parameters and depending only on $G$ such that, for any field $K$, we have that $K\models S(G)$ if and only if $K$ has a Galois…

For a prime \(p\ge 2\) and a number field K with p-class group of type (p,p) it is shown that the class, coclass, and further invariants of the metabelian Galois group \(G=Gal(F_p^2(K) | K)\) of the second Hilbert p-class field \(F_p^2(K)\)…
Given a Lie group $G$ with finitely many components and a compact Lie group A which acts on $G$ by automorphisms, we prove that there always exists an A-invariant maximal compact subgroup K of G, and that for every such K, the natural map…
Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…
Let $F$ be the function field of a smooth, geometrically integral curve over a $p$-adic field with $p\neq 2.$ Let $G$ be a classical adjoint group of type $^1D_n$ defined over $F$. We show that $G(F) / R$ is trivial, where $R$ denotes {\it…
