We prove that an analogue of Jordan's theorem on finite subgroups of general linear groups holds for the groups of biregular automorphisms of elliptic ruled surfaces. This gives a positive answer to a question of Vladimir L. Popov.
We prove that the group of birational automorphisms of a geometrically irreducible algebraic surface over a finite field is Jordan. We show that the analogous statement fails in higher dimensions. Finally, we prove that groups of birational…
We prove that an analogue of Jordan's theorem on finite subgroups of general linear groups does not hold for the groups of birational automorphisms of products of an elliptic curve and the projective line. This gives a negative answer to a…
Assuming a particular case of Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov conjecture, we prove that finite subgroups of the automorphism group of a finitely generated field over Q have bounded orders. Further, we investigate which algebraic varieties have…

We show an analogue of Jordan's theorem for algebraic groups defined over a field $\mathbb k$ of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, a Jordan-type property holds for the automorphism group of any projective variety over $\mathbb k$.
We discuss Jordan's theorem on finite subgroups of invertible matrices and give an account of his original proof.
We prove that the family of all connected n-dimensional real Lie groups is uniformly Jordan for every n. This implies that all algebraic groups (not necessarily affine) over fields of characteristic zero and some transformation groups of…
For a geometrically rational surface X over an arbitrary field of characteristic different from 2 and 3 that contains all roots of 1, we show that either X is birational to a product of a projective line and a conic, or the group of…
In 1878, Jordan showed that a finite subgroup of GL(n,C) contains an abelian normal subgroup whose index is bounded by a function of n alone. Previously, the author has given precise bounds. Here, we consider analogues for finite linear…
We study automorphism groups and birational automorphism groups of compact complex surfaces. We show that the automorphism group of such surface $X$ is always Jordan, and the birational automorphism group is Jordan unless $X$ is birational…
We investigate automorphism groups of planar graphs. The main result is a complete recursive description of all abstract groups that can be realized as automorphism groups of planar graphs. The characterization is formulated in terms of…
We prove that the automorphism group of a compact complex parallelizable manifold is Jordan. In the course of the proof we show that outer automorphism groups of cocompact lattices in complex Lie groups have bounded finite subgroups.
Models of all the gradings on the exceptional simple Lie algebras induced by Jordan subgroups of their groups of automorphisms are provided.
We prove that the image of the pluricanonical representation of a group of bimeromorphic automorphisms of a complex manifold has bounded finite subgroups. As a consequence, we show that the group of bimeromorphic automorphisms of an…
We show that a differential algebraic group can be filtered by a finite subnormal series of differential algebraic groups such that successive quotients are almost simple, that is have no normal subgroups of the same type. We give a…
We show the Jordan property for regional fundamental groups of klt singularities of fixed dimension. Furthermore, we prove the existence of effective simultaneous index one covers for $n$-dimensional klt singularities. We give an…
We study automorphism and birational automorphism groups of varieties over fields of positive characteristic from the point of view of Jordan and $p$-Jordan property. In particular, we show that the Cremona group of rank $2$ over a field of…
The notion of a topological Jordan decomposition of a compact element of a reductive p-adic group has proven useful in many contexts. In this paper, we generalise it to groups defined over fairly general discretely-valued fields and prove…
