We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…

We give a classification, up to local isomorphisms, of semi-simple Lie groups without compact factors that can act faithfully and conformally on a compact Lorentz manifold of dimension greater than or equal to $3$.

We prove continuity results for abstract epimorphisms of locally compact groups onto finitely generated groups.

We prove that the length of the shortest identity in a finite simple group of Lie type of rank $r$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, is bounded (from above and below) by explicit polynomials in $q$ and $r$.

We show that in any sequence of a general type MMP, the minimal log discrepancy of singularities takes at most finitely many values, and the fibers of all the extremal contractions and flips belong to a bounded family. A key ingredient in…

We prove that the group $\mathrm{SAut}_{\mathrm{k}}(\mathbb{A}^2)$ is simple as an algebraic group of infinite dimension, over any infinite field $\mathrm{k}$, by proving that any closed normal subgroup is either trivial or the whole group.…

We explore "semibounded" expansions of arbitrary ordered groups; namely, expansions that do not define a field on the whole universe. We show that if $\mathcal R=\langle R, <, +, \dots\rangle$ is a semibounded o-minimal structure and…

We state conditions for which a definable local homomorphism between two locally definable groups $\mathcal{G}$, $\mathcal{G^{\prime}}$ can be uniquely extended when $\mathcal{G}$ is simply connected (Theorem 2.1). As an application of this…

We show that the family of semi log canonical pairs with ample log canonical class and with fixed volume is bounded.

We provide a mathematically rigorous definition of local approximation and demonstrate its applicability to some interesting classes of structures. In particular, we prove that any compact simple Lie group is locally approximated by finite…

We give a complete characterization of Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups on exact symplectic manifolds with proper momentum maps. We deduce that every Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a contractible symplectic manifold…

Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that…

Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

A natural topology on the space of left orderings of an arbitrary semi-group is introduced. It is proved that this space is compact and that for free abelian groups it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. An application of this result is a…

It is known that locally compact groups approximable by finite ones are unimodular, but this condition is not sufficient, for example, the simple Lie groups are not approximable by finite ones as topological groups. In this paper the…

Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over a field $k$ and let $G^+(k)$ be the subgroup generated by the subgroups $R_u(Q)(k)$, where $Q$ ranges over all the minimal $k$-parabolic subgroups $Q$ of $G$. We prove that if $G^+(k)$ is…

In this paper, we revisit the problem of classifying real algebraic and semialgebraic sets by their topological types, focusing on establishing the effectiveness of bounds rather than deriving new quantitative estimates. Building on Hardt's…

In this paper we prove an explicit, computable upper bound on the Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik number of the local cohomology of a pointed, affine semigroup ring over a perfect field of positive characteristic. This bound depends only on…

We examine sufficient conditions for the dual of a topological group to be metrizable and locally compact.

For sufficiently nice families of semigroups and monoids, the structure theorem for sets of length states that the length set of any sufficiently large element is an arithmetic sequence with some values omitted near the ends. In this paper,…
