We characterize all fields F for which a group with an F-locally split root group datum admits an Iwasawa decomposition. This class of groups in particular includes the split semisimple algebraic groups and the split Kac-Moody groups.

We investigate a slight weakening of the classical property of strong approximation, which we call almost strong approximation, for connected reductive algebraic groups over global fields with respect to special sets of valuations. While…

We investigate the structure of root data by considering their decomposition as a product of a semisimple root datum and a torus. Using this decomposition we obtain a parameterisation of the isomorphism classes of all root data. By working…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

We develop a semigroup approach to representation theory for pro-Lie groups satisfying suitable amenability conditions. As an application of our approach, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence classes of unitary…

The unitary representation theory of locally compact contraction groups and their semi-direct products with $\mathbb{Z}$ is studied. We put forward the problem of completely characterising such groups which are type I or CCR and this…

We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…

Given a locally finite leafless tree $ T $, various algebraic groups over local fields might appear as closed subgroups of $ \text{Aut} (T)$. We show that the set of closed cocompact subgroups of $ \text{Aut} (T)$ that are isomorphic to a…

By a quasi-connected reductive group (a term of Labesse) over an arbitrary field we mean an almost direct product of a connected semisimple group and a quasi-torus (a smooth group of multiplicative type). We show that a linear algebraic…

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…

We study Tamagawa numbers and other invariants (especially Tate-Shafarevich sets) attached to commutative and pseudo-reductive groups over global function fields. In particular, we prove a simple formula for Tamagawa numbers of commutative…

The Bruhat-Tits theory is a key ingredient in the construction of irreducible smooth representations of $p$-adic reductive groups. We describe generalizations to arbitrary such representations of several results recently obtained in the…

Let G be a connected semisimple group over a non-Archimedean local field. For every faithful, geometrically irreducible linear representation of G we define a compactification of the associated Bruhat-Tits building X(G). This yields a…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

The paper is devoted to generalizations of actions of topological groups on manifolds. Instead of a topological group, we consider a local topological group generalizing the notion of a~germ or a~neighborhood in a topological group. The…

For a connected quasi-split reductive algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$, which is either a finite field or a non-archimedean local field, $\theta$ an involutive automorphism of $G$ over $k$, let $K =G^\theta$. Let $K^1=[K^0,K^0]$, the…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field $F$. In the quest for a classification of irreducible smooth representations of $G$, it is critical to understand the case of supercuspidal representations -- those whose matrix…

We study equivariant projective compactifications of reductive groups obtained by closing the image of a group in the space of operators of a projective representation. We describe the structure and the mutual position of their orbits under…

We consider mappings between Carnot groups. In this paper, which is a continuation of "Pansu pullback and rigidity of mappings between Carnot groups" (arXiv:2004.09271), we focus on Carnot groups which are nonrigid in the sense of…
