Automorphism groups of locally finite trees provide a large class of examples of simple totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is desirable to understand the connections between the global and local structure of such a group.…

We consider matrices with entries in a local ring, Mat(m,n;R). Fix an action of group G on Mat(m,n;R), and a subset of allowed deformations, \Sigma in Mat(m,n;R). The standard question (along the lines of Singularity Theory) is the…

The purpose of this paper is to propose an efficient method to compute the automorphism group of an arbitrary hyperelliptic function field (genus>1) over a given ground field of characteristic >2 as well as over its algebraic extensions.

We determine which of the finite-type Artin groups are locally indicable, and compute presentations for their commutator subgroups.

We prove an operator algebraic superrigidity statement for homomorphisms of irreducible lattices, and also their commensurators, in certain higher-rank groups into unitary groups of finite factors. This extends the authors' previous work…

We give a formula that expresses the Hilbert series of one-sided ladder determinantal rings, up to a trivial factor, in form of a determinant. This allows the convenient computation of these Hilbert series. The formula follows from a…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of incoherent definite orthogonal and Hermitian spaces, and use their neighboring spaces as a tool for the local study of orthogonal and unitary Shimura varieties. This generalizes earlier work, using…

Using the overlap formulation, we calculate the fermionic determinant on the lattice for chiral fermions with twisted boundary conditions in two dimensions. When the lattice spacing tends to zero we recover the results of the usual…

This paper is devoted to a study of the automorphism groups of three series of finite dimensional special odd Hamiltonian superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}$ over a field of prime characteristic. Our aim is to characterize the connections between…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g\ge 1$ endowed with a flat conical metric $m$ and let ${\rm det}\,\Delta$ be the $\zeta$-regularized determinant of the Friedrichs Laplacian on $(X,m)$. We derive variational formulas for ${\rm…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated cocompact lattice of a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$, and $C$ a dense subgroup of $G$ that contains and commensurates $\Gamma$. We study the problem of describing all finitely generated…

In this paper, the determinants of $n\times n$ matrices over commutative finite chain rings and over commutative finite principal ideal rings are studied. The number of $n\times n$ matrices over a commutative finite chain ring ${R}$ of a…

Let F be a local field of positive characteristic, and let G be either a Heisenberg group over F, or a certain (nonabelian) two-dimensional unipotent group over F. If H is an arithmetic subgroup of G, we provide an explicit description of…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…

A method for finding an optimum $n$-dimensional commutative group code of a given order $M$ is presented. The approach explores the structure of lattices related to these codes and provides a significant reduction in the number of…

In the paper, we mainly determine the structures, counting formulas, and density sets of representations for binary and ternary ADC quadratic lattices over arbitrary non-archimedean local fields. In the binary case, we show that under…

We establish Plemelj-Smithies formulas for determinants in different algebras of operators. In particular we define a Poincar\'e type determinant for operators on the torus $\Tn$ and deduce formulas for determinants of periodic…

We define general notions of coordinate geometries over fields and ordered fields, and consider coordinate geometries that are given by finitely many relations that are definable over those fields. We show that the automorphism group of…

We give a complete classification of finite subgroups of automorphisms of K3 surfaces up to deformation. The classification is in terms of Hodge theoretic data associated to certain conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the orthogonal…
