The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of $GL(n, K)$ ($K$ - a field, $n \geq 3$) which is not contained in the center, contains $SL(n, K)$. A. Rosenberg gave description of normal subgroups…

Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…

We classify locally finite joinings with respect to the Burger-Roblin measure for the action of a horospherical subgroup $U$ on $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G = \operatorname{SO}(n,1)^\circ$ and $\Gamma$ is a convex cocompact and Zariski…

Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of complex simple Jordan algebra with the automorphism group $G$ of type $F_{4(-20)}$. Explicitly, we give the orbit decomposition of $\mathcal{J}^1$ under the action of $G$ and determine the Lie group…

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$, endowed with a rational self-map $\Phi$. Let $\alpha\in G(K)$ and let $\Gamma\subseteq G(K)$ be a finitely generated subgroup. We show that the set…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group of rank $1$ and $\Gamma$ be a torsion free discrete subgroup of $G$. We show that in $G/\Gamma$, given $\epsilon>0$, any trajectory of a unipotent flow remains in the set of points with injectivity radius…

Let $K/F$ be a finite Galois extension of number fields. It is well known that the Tchebotarev density theorem implies that an irreducible, finitely ramified $p$-adic representation $\rho$ of the absolute Galois group of $K$ is determined…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group and $\mathcal O$ a nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak g$. Let ${\mathbf{CS}}(\mathcal O)$ denote the affine cone over the secant variety of $\overline{\mathbb P\mathcal O}\subset \mathbb P\mathfrak g$. Using…

We classify all locally finite joinings of a horospherical subgroup action on \Gamma \ G when \Gamma is a Zariski dense geometrically finite subgroup of G=PSL_2(R) or PSL_2(C). This generalizes Ratner's 1983 joining theorem for the case…

We prove a quantitative version of the following statement: the unipotent flow orbit of a typical lattice in $\rm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})/\rm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ is dense. Our quantitative result uses A. Weil's bounds for Kloostermann sums.

We classify the sets of natural numbers $n$ for which certain dynamical systems $(X,f)$ on a compact metric space $X$ have a periodic point of (least) period $n$. Interest in this question dates back to Sharkovskii's theorem for continuous…

By a classical result of Jordan, each finite subgroup G of a complex linear group GL_n(C) has an abelian subgroup whose index in G is bounded by a constant depending only on n. We consider the problem if this remains true for finite…

This paper is devoted to the classification of GL^+(2,R)-orbit closures of surfaces in the intersection of the Prym eigenform locus with various strata of quadratic differentials. We show that the following dichotomy holds: an orbit is…

We present a proof of the following claim. Suppose that $n$ is an integer such that $n>1$ and that $k$ is any field. Suppose that $g$ is an element of $\mathrm{SL}(n,k)$ of infinite order. Then the set $\{h\in\mathrm{SL}(n,k)\mid <g,h>$ is…

We prove the following result, conjectured by Alan Weinstein: every smooth proper Lie groupoid near a fixed point is locally linearizable, i.e. it is locally isomorphic to the associated groupoid of a linear action of a compact Lie group.…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $V$ be a completely reducible faithful $G$-module. It has been known for a long time that if $G$ is abelian, then $G$ has a regular orbit on $V$. In this paper we show that $G$ has an orbit of size at…

Let $\phi$ be a rank $r$ Drinfeld $\BF_q[T]$-module determined by $\phi_T(X) = TX+g_1X^q+...+g_{r-1}X^{q^{r-1}}+X^{q^r}$, where $g_1,...,g_{r-1}$ are algebraically independent over $\BF_q(T)$. Let $N\in\BF_q[T]$ be a polynomial, and…

In this note we prove that whenever a Lie group $G$ acts on a manifold $X$, then the orbit $Gx$ through any point $x$ of $X$ is a weakly embedded submanifold of $X$. The investigation of this problem was inspired by an application to Cat…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper we provide a general theory to produce full orbit sequences in the affine $n$-dimensional space over a finite field. For $n=1$ our construction covers the case of the Inversive Congruential…

We prove that if $G\subset\text{Diff}^{1}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ is an Abelian subgroup generated by a family of commuting diffeomorphisms of the plane, all of which are $C^{1}$-close to the identity in the strong $C^{1}$-topology, and if there…
