In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups…

We develop the $p$-adic representation theory of $p$-adic Lie groups on solid vector spaces over a complete non-archimedean extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. More precisely, we define and study categories of solid, solid locally analytic and…

Using methods of associative algebras, Lie theory, group cohomology, and modular representation theory, we construct profinite $p$-adic analytic groups such that the centralizer of each of their non-trivial elements is abelian. The paper…

For any prime $p>3$ and $j\in\mathbb{N}$ we construct examples of non-$FSZ_{p^j}$ groups of order $p^{p^j+2j-1}$. In the special case of $j=1$ this yields groups of order $p^{p+1}$, which is the minimum possible order for a non-$FSZ$…

We describe certain almost-simple algebraic supergroups over an algebraically closed field of odd or zero characteristic. In addition to supergroups with simple Lie superalgebras from Kac's theorem, we construct new supergroups whose Lie…

We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.

We develop the basic model theory of local positive logic, a new logic that mixes positive logic (where negation is not allowed) and local logic (where models omit types of infinite distant pairs). We study several basic model theoretic…

We prove that numerous negatively curved simply connected locally compact polyhedral complexes, admitting a discrete cocompact group of automorphisms, have automorphism groups which are locally compact, uncountable, non linear and virtually…

Let p be an odd prime number. We describe the Whitehead group of all extra-special and almost extra-special p-groups. For this we compute, for any finite p-group P , the subgroup Cl\_1 (ZP) of SK\_1 (ZP), in terms of a genetic basis of P.…

We exhibit a simple construction, based on elementary linear algebra, for a class of examples of finite $p$-groups of nilpotence class $2$ all of whose automorphisms are central.

In this paper, we examine Lie group actions on moduli spaces (sets themselves built as quotients by group actions) and their fixed points. We show that when the Lie group is compact and connected, we obtain a linear constraint. This…

We show that finite quasisimple groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ with an irreducible representation of prime degree $r$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ have orders bounded above by a function of $r$, independent of $p$. We…

We classify compactly generated locally compact groups of polynomial growth up to $L^p$ measure equivalence (ME) for all $p\leq 1$. To achieve this, we combine rigidity results (previously proved for discrete groups by Bowen and Austin)…

In [12], Jacquet--Piatetskii-Shapiro--Shalika defined a family of compact open subgroups of $p$-adic general linear groups indexed by non-negative integers, and established the theory of local newforms for irreducible generic…

Many open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups can be studied by reducing them to related questions about quasi-simple groups. In such studies, $p$-radical subgroups typically play a critical role. To classify the…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of localization, which comes from homotopy theory, in the context of finite simple groups. We give an easy criterion for a finite simple group to be a localization of some simple subgroup…

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…

This article focuses on the study of the group of units of incidence rings, which is a class of infinite matrix groups indexed by ordered sets, on a topological perspective. We first show when these groups can inherit the topological…

We show that a compactly generated locally compact group of polynomial growth having no non-trivial compact normal subgroups can be embedded as a co-compact subgroup into a semidirect product of a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie…

Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group, $L$ a compact subgroup, and $\pi$ an irreducible admissible representation of $G$. In this article we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the finiteness of the multiplicities of $L$-types…
