We prove two structure theorems for simple, locally finite dimensional Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ which give sufficient conditions for the algebras to be of the form $[R^{(-)}, R^{(-)}] / (Z(R)…

The classical theorem of Weitzenboeck states that the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation $g$ in $GL_m(K)$ acting on the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,...,x_m]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is finitely generated.…

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…

We describe the construction which takes as input a profinite group, which when applied the the absolute Galois group of a geometric field F agrees in some cases with the algebraic K-theory of F. We prove that it agrees in the case of a…

Let $K$ be a field complete with respect to a nonarchimedean real-valued norm, and let $L/K$ be an algebraic extension. We show that there is a unique norm on $L$ extending the given norm on $K$, with an explicit description. As an…

We show that an arithmetic lattice $\Gamma$ in a semi-simple Lie group $G$ contains a torsion-free subgroup of index $\delta(v)$ where $v = \mu (G/\Gamma)$ is the co-volume of the lattice. We prove that $\delta$ is polynomial in general and…

Let $k_0$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $k=k_0(t)$, where $t$ is transcendental over $k_0$. We give an example of a smooth connected unipotent $k$-group $G$ such that $G(F)/R$ is non-commutative for some finite separable field…

Let $K/\mathbb Q$ be a finite Galois extension and let $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_r$ be the irreducible characters of the Galois group $G:=Gal(K/\mathbb Q)$. Let $f_1:=L(s,\chi_1),\ldots,f_r:=L(s,\chi_r)$ be their associated Artin L-functions. For…

We construct lattice gauge field theory based on a quantum group on a lattice of dimension 1. Innovations include a coalgebra structure on the connections, and an investigation of connections that are not distinguishable by observables. We…

We call a (q-1)-th Kummer extension of a cyclotomic function field a quasi-cyclotomic function field if it is Galois, but non-abelian, over the rational function field with the constant field of q elements. In this paper, we determine the…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and $G$ a finite group of odd order. If $K_h$ is a weakly ramified $G$-Galois $K$-algebra, then its square root $A_h$ of the inverse different is a locally free…

We characterize well-founded algebraic lattices by means of forbidden subsemilattices of the join-semilattice made of their compact elements. More specifically, we show that an algebraic lattice $L$ is well-founded if and only if $K(L)$,…

A Lie G-torus of type X_r is a Lie algebra with two gradings -- one by an abelian group G and the other by the root lattice of a finite irreducible root system of type X_r. In this paper we construct a centreless Lie G-torus of type BC_r,…

A new matrix product, called dimension-keeping semi-tensor product (DK-STP), is proposed. Under DK-STP, the set of $m\times n$ matrices becomes a semi-group $G({m\times n},\mathbb{F})$, and a ring, denoted by $R(m\times n,\mathbb{F})$.…

We study the quantum finite W-algebras W(gl_N,f), associated to the Lie algebra gl_N, and its arbitrary nilpotent element f. We construct for such an algebra an r_1 x r_1 matrix L(z) of Yangian type, where r_1 is the number of maximal parts…

A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and the Lie algebra Lie(G). A Cayley map can be thought of as a…

Given a finite transitive permutation group $G$, we investigate number fields $F/\mathbb{Q}$ of Galois group $G$ whose discriminant is only divisible by small prime powers. This generalizes previous investigations of number fields with…

It is known that the notion of a transitive subgroup of a permutation group $G$ extends naturally to subsets of $G$. We consider subsets of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ acting transitively on flag-like structures, which…

In this survey article, we recall some facts about split Kac-Moody groups as defined by J. Tits, describe their main properties and then propose an analogue of Borel-Tits theory for a non-split version of them. The main result is a Galois…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension whose Galois group $G$ is non-abelian and characteristically simple. Using tools from graph theory, we shall give a closed formula for the number of Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ with associated…
