A subset $\mathcal{G}$ generating a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to be hyperrigid if for every faithful nondegenerate $*$-representation $A\subseteq B(H)$ and a sequence $\phi_n:B(H) \to B(H)$ of unital completely positive maps, we have that…
Let $K$ be a $p$-adically closed field and $G$ a group interpretable in $K$. We show that if $G$ is definably semisimple (i.e. $G$ has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup $H$ such that…
We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem for quasi-probability-measure-preserving (quasi-pmp) locally countable measurable graphs, equivalently, Schreier graphs of quasi-pmp actions of countable groups. For ergodic graphs, the theorem gives an…
Let k be a p-adic field. Some time ago, D. Harbater [9] proved that any finite group G may be realized as a regular Galois group over the rational function field in one variable k(t), namely there exists a finite field extension $F/k(t)$,…
We initiate the study of p-adic algebraic groups G from the stability-theoretic and definable topological-dynamical points of view, that is, we consider invariants of the action of G on its space of types over Q_p in the language of fields.…
Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a group of its automorphisms. If $G$ is precompact then $K$ is a generator of the category of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) $K$-semilinear representations of $G$. There are non-semisimple smooth…
Let O be a complete discrete valuation ring with finite residue field k of odd characteristic. Let G be a general or special linear group or a unitary group defined over O and let $\mathfrak{g}$ denote its Lie algebra. For every positive…
Let $K$ be a number field and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $K^\times$. For all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$, the reduction $(G \bmod \mathfrak p)$ generates a well-defined subgroup of the multiplicative group…
We show that every $\mu$-constant family of isolated hypersurface singularities of type f(x) + tg(x), where t is a parameter, is topologically trivial. In the proof we construct explicitely a vector field trivializing the family. The proof…
Let G be a simply connected simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p>0 with root system R, and let ${\mathfrak g}={\cal L}(G)$ be its restricted Lie algebra. Let V be a finite dimensional ${\mathfrak…
Consider a totally disconnected group G, which is covirtually cyclic, i.e., contains a normal compact open subgroup L such that G/L is infinite cyclic. We establish a Wang sequence, which computes the algebraic K-groups of the Hecke algebra…
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of bad characteristic. We classify the spherical unipotent conjugacy classes of G. We also show that if the characteristic of k is 2, then the fixed point subgroup of…
Let $G$ be a finite group and, for a given complex character $\chi$ of $G$, let ${\mathbb{Q}}(\chi)$ denote the field extension of ${\mathbb{Q}}$ obtained by adjoining all the values $\chi(g)$, for $g\in G$. The group $G$ is called…
We prove the following propositions. Theorem 1: Let $M$ be a subfield of a fixed algebraic closure $\tilde \Q$ of $\Q$ whose existential elementary theory is decidable (resp. primitively decidable). Then, M is conjugate to a recursive…
Let $G$ denote a linear algebraic group over $\mathbf{Q}$ and $K$ and $L$ two number fields. Assume that there is a group isomorphism of points on $G$ over the finite adeles of $K$ and $L$, respectively. We establish conditions on the group…
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…
Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We give a (partly conjectural) simple, closed formula for the character of many indecomposable tilting rational G-modules, assuming that p is large.
Let $\sigma$ denote an endomorphism of a smooth algebraic group $G$ over the algebraic closure of a finite field, and assume all iterates of $\sigma$ have finitely many fixed points. Steinberg gave a formula for the number of fixed points…
Let $X$ be a normal algebraic variety over a finitely generated field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $\ell$ be a prime. Say that a continuous $\ell$-adic representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(X_{\bar k})$ is arithmetic if there…
Let $X$ be a complete smooth variety defined over number field $K$ and $i$ an integer. The absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on the $i$th $l$-adic etale cohomology of $X$ for all $l$, producing a system of $l$-adic representations…
