Given a field $K$ equipped with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we develop a general theory to relate reduction properties of skew-hermitian forms over a quaternion $K$-algebra $Q$ to quadratic forms over the function field $K(Q)$…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

We classify the linearly reductive finite subgroup schemes $G$ of $SL_2=SL(V)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, up to conjugation. As a corollary, we prove that such $G$ is in one-to-one correspondence with…

This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…

Let $K$ be a number field, let $S$ be a finite set of places of $K$, and let $R_S$ be the ring of $S$-integers of $K$. A $K$-morphism $f:\mathbb{P}^1_K\to\mathbb{P}^1_K$ has simple good reduction outside $S$ if it extends to an…

In this thesis, we develop algorithms similar to the Gaussian elimination algorithm in symplectic and split orthogonal similitude groups. As an application to this algorithm, we compute the spinor norm for split orthogonal groups. Also, we…

We prove that the continuous group cohomology groups of a locally profinite group $ G $ with coefficients in a smooth $ k $-representation $ \pi $ of $ G $ are isomorphic to the $ \mathrm{Ext}$-groups $ \mathrm{Ext}^i_G(\mathbb{1},\pi) $…

We find all exceptional spin groups attached to the vertices of any exceptional spin graph on any hyperbolic Riemann surface S of genus g>1. In particular, we show that when the order r of a graph is r>2 (i.e.the genus of S must be g>3)…

If $K$ is a field with enough roots of unity and $V$ an abelian group, the $K$-algebra $K[V]$ of the group $V$ is split semisimple, so that the canonical morphism $K[V]\to K^{V^\sharp}$, where $V^\sharp$ denotes the dual group of $V$ (which…

Let $k$ be a number field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $\mathfrak{F}_{k}^{G}(Q)$ be the family of number fields $K$ with absolute discriminant $D_K$ at most $Q$ such that $K/k$ is normal with Galois group isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is the…

For a compact convex subset K with non-empty interior in a finite-dimensional vector space, let G be the group of all smooth diffeomorphisms of K which fix the boundary of K pointwise. We show that G is a C^0-regular infinite-dimensional…

In this document we prove: Let $\mathbb K=(K,+,\cdot,v,\Gamma)$ be an algebraically closed valued field and let $(G,\oplus)$ be a $\mathbb K$-definable group that is either the multiplicative group or contains a finite index subgroup that…

Let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Spec}(A)$ be a finite and flat group scheme over the ring of algebraic integers $R$ of a number field $K$ and suppose that the generic fiber of $\mathcal{G}$ is the constant group scheme over $K$ for a finite group…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…

Let $F$ be a field of odd characteristic, $E$ be a finite extension of $F$ equipped an involution with subfield of fixed points $E_0$ containing $F$ and $V$ be a finite dimensional $E$-vector space with a non-degenerate hermitian form $h$.…

Let $k$ be a perfect field such that for every $n$ there are only finitely many field extensions, up to isomorphism, of $k$ of degree $n$. If $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $k$, whose characteristic is very good for $G$,…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p\geqslant 0$, let $H$ be a proper closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a nontrivial irreducible $KG$-module, which is $p$-restricted, tensor…

Let F be a local henselian nonarchimedean field of residual field k, and let G be the group of F-points of a connected reductive group defined over F. It is well-known that the quotient of any parahoric subgroup of G by its first congruence…

We prove a dynamical Shafarevich theorem on the finiteness of the set of isomorphism classes of rational maps with fixed degeneracies. More precisely, fix an integer d at least 2 and let K be either a number field or the function field of a…
