We prove that a countable semigroup $S$ is locally finite if and only if the Arens-Michael envelope of its semigroup algebra is a $(DF)$-space. This is a counterpart to a recent result of the author, which asserts that $S$ is finitely…

Any simple pseudofinite group G is known to be isomorphic to a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. This celebrated result mostly follows from the work of Wilson in 1995 and heavily relies on the classification of finite…

Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff group in which every element is of finite order, and let P(G) denote the class of all regular probability measures on G. In this note, it is observed that a characterization of algebraically regular…

We give a complete list of the one-dimensional groups definable in algebraically closed valued fields and i the pseudo-local fields, up to a finite index subgroup and a quotient by a finite subgroup.

We give a structural theorem for pseudofinite groups of finite centraliser dimension. As a corollary, we observe that there is no finitely generated pseudofinite group of finite centraliser dimension.

We consider a class of non-locally compact groups on which one may define a left-invariant, finitely additive measure taking values in some finitely generated extension of the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. In particular, we recover…

In this paper we exhibit a type of semigroup presentations which determines a class of local groups. We show that the finite elements of this class generate the pseudovariety ${\bf LG}$ of all finite local groups and use them as…

In a recent paper by M. Mantoiu and M. Ruzhansky, a global pseudo-differential calculus has been developed for unimodular groups of type I. In the present article we generalize the main results to arbitrary locally compact groups of type I.…

We use our extension of the Noether-Lefschetz theorem to describe generators of the class groups at the local rings of singularities of very general hypersurfaces containing a fixed base locus. We give several applications, including (1)…

This article contains a basic introduction to the local study of finite groups, including a brief perspective on the theory of fusion systems and $p$-local finite groups. -- Este art\'iculo contiene una introducci\'on b\'asica al estudio…

Two non-discrete Hausdorff group topologies $\tau, \delta$ on a group $G$ are called {\it transversal} if the least upper bound $\tau\vee \delta$ of $\tau$ and $\delta$ is the discrete topology. In this paper, we discuss the existence of…

Suppose that a locally finite group $G$ has a $2$-element $g$ with Chernikov centralizer. It is proved that if the involution in $\langle g\rangle$ has nilpotent centralizer, then $G$ has a soluble subgroup of finite index.

We give new upper bounds for the diameters of finite groups which do not depend on a choice of generating set. Our method exploits the commutator structure of certain profinite groups, in a fashion analogous to the Solovay-Kitaev procedure…

This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.

All groups under consideration are finite. Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_i \mid i\in I \}$ be some partition of the set of $\mathbb{P}$, $G$ be a group, and $\mathfrak F$ be a class of groups. Then $\sigma (G)=\{\sigma_i\mid \sigma_i\cap \pi (G)\ne…

In a previous paper we formulated an analogue of the Ichino-Ikeda conjectures for Whittaker-Fourier coefficients of cusp forms on quasi-split groups, as well as the metaplectic group of arbitrary rank. In this paper we reduce the conjecture…

We combine the fundamental results of Breuillard, Green, and Tao on the structure of approximate groups, together with "tame" arithmetic regularity methods based on work of the authors and Terry, to give a structure theorem for finite…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $A$ be a subgroup of $G$. Then $A$ is called a $p$-$CAP$-subgroup of $G$, if $A$ covers or avoids every $pd$-chief factor of $G$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be an $ICPC$-subgroup of $G$, if $H \cap [H,G]…

The induced representation ${\rm Ind}_H^GS$ of a locally compact group $G$ is the unitary representation of the group $G$ associated with unitary representation $S:H\rightarrow U(V)$ of a subgroup $H$ of the group $G$. Our aim is to develop…

Let $G$ be a compact $p$-adic analytic group. We recall the well-understood finite radical $\Delta^+$ and FC-centre $\Delta$, and introduce a $p$-adic analogue of Roseblade's subgroup $\mathrm{nio}(G)$, the unique largest orbitally sound…
