We discuss essential dimension of group schemes, with particular attention to infinitesimal group schemes. We prove that the essential dimension of a group scheme of finite type over a field k is at least equal to the difference between the…

We classify all finite groups of essential dimension 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.

In this paper we develop the theory of essential dimension of group schemes over an integral base. Shortly we concentrate over a local base. As a consequence of our theory we give a result of invariance of the essential dimension over a…

Let K be an arbitrary field. We will determine explicitly all the nontrivial finite groups of essential dimension one over K.

Given a finite smooth group scheme $G$ over a field of characteristic $p > 0$, we show that the essential dimension of $G$ at $p$ is $0$ when $p$ does not divide the order of $G$, and $1$ when it does.

We propose a generalization of Ledet conjecture, which predicts the essential dimension of cyclic $p$-groups in characteristic $p$, for finite commutative unipotent group schemes. And we show some evidence and some consequences of this new…

We study the essential dimension of a finite group G over a field K. A generalization of the central extension theorem of Buhler and Reichstein (Compositio Math. 106 (1997) 159-179, Theorem 5.3) is obtained. We also get lower bounds of…

A. Vistoli observed that, if Grothendieck's section conjecture is true and $X$ is a smooth hyperbolic curve over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$, then $\underline{\pi}_{1}(X)$ should somehow have essential dimension $1$. We…

We discuss the notion of essential dimension of a finite group and explain its relation with birational algebraic geometry. We show how this leads to a (partial) classification of simple finite groups of essential dimension less than or…

We shall define a general notion of dimension, and study groups and rings whose interpretable sets carry such a dimensio. In particular, we deduce chain conditions for groups, definability results for fields and domains, and show that…

We study groups definable in existentially closed geometric fields with commuting derivations. Our main result is that such a group can be definably embedded in a group interpretable in the underlying geometric field. Compared to earlier…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We survey some results on algebras of finite global dimension and address some open problems.

If the characteristic of a field $k$ is odd any infinitesimal group scheme of $PGL_{2,k}$ lifts to $SL_{2,k}$. In this paper, we prove that this is not true in characteristic $2$ and we give a complete description, up to isomorphism, of…

We give an upper bound for the essential dimension of a smooth unipotent algebraic group over an arbitrary field. We also show that over a field $k$ which is finitely generated over a perfect field, a smooth unipotent algebraic $k$-group is…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a number field. We construct a $G$-extension $E/F$, with $F$ of transcendence degree $2$ over $K$, that specializes to all $G$-extensions of $K_\mathfrak{p}$, where $\mathfrak{p}$ runs over all but finitely…

Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $p$ is either a prime number or $0$. For $p$ positive, we say that $G$ is weakly tame at $p$ if $G$ has no non-trivial normal $p$-subgroups. By convention we say that every finite group is weakly tame at…

We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p\geq 3$. In generalization of the familiar notion from the modular representation theory of finite groups, we define the…

We show that an infinite group $G$ definable in a $1$-h-minimal field admits a strictly $K$-differentiable structure with respect to which $G$ is a (weak) Lie group, and show that definable local subgroups sharing the same Lie algebra have…

In this note we show that groups with definable generics in a separably closed valued of finite imperfection degree can be embedded into groups definable in their algebraic closure.
