A number of geometric properties of $\Omega$-groups from a given variety of $\Omega$-groups can be characterized using the notions of domain and equational domain. An $\Omega$-group $H$ of a variety $\Theta$ is an equational domain in…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider associative unital algebras $A$ over $K$ graded by $G$, that is $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$, where the vector subspaces $A_g$…

Let $G$ be a complex algebraic group defined over $\mathbb R$, which is not necessarily Zariski connected. In this article, we study the density of the images of the power maps $g\to g^k$, $k\in\mathbb N$, on real points of $G$, i.e.,…

We begin by showing that commensurators of Zariski dense subgroups of isometry groups of symmetric spaces of non-compact type are discrete provided that the limit set on the Furstenberg boundary is not invariant under the action of a…

Let $X$ be a connected normal scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$, let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathbf{Q}$, and let $\{\rho_\ell\colon\pi_1(X[1/\ell])\to G(\mathbf{Q}_\ell)\}_\ell$ be a Frobenius-compatible collection…

We prove that a finitely generated group $G$ is virtually free if and only if there exists a generating set for $G$ and $k > 0$ such that all $k$-locally geodesic words with respect to that generating set are geodesic.

For every connected, almost simple linear algebraic group $G\leq\mathrm{GL}_{n}$ over a large enough field $K$, every subvariety $V\subseteq G$, and every finite generating set $A\subseteq G(K)$, we prove a general dimensional bound, that…

We study a characteristic subgroup of finitely generated groups, consisting of elements with uniform upper bound for word-lengths. For a group $G$, we denote this subgroup by $G_{bound}$. We give sufficient criteria for triviality and…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear reflection group in the sense of Vinberg to be Zariski-dense in the ambient projective general linear group. As an application, we show that every irreducible right-angled Coxeter…

It is shown that for a linear algebraic group G over a field of characteristic zero, there is a natural number \kappa(G) such that if a system of Zariski closed cosets in G has empty intersection, then there is a subsystem consisting of at…

Let $k$ be a base field and $G$ be an algebraic group over $k$. J.-P. Serre defined $G$ to be special if every $G$-torsor $T \to X$ is locally trivial in the Zariski topology for every reduced algebraic variety $X$ defined over $k$. In…

When considering the unit group of $\mathcal{O}_F G$ ($\mathcal{O}_F$ the ring of integers of an abelian number field $F$ and a finite group $G$) certain components in the Wedderburn decomposition of $FG$ cause problems for known generic…

Let a real Lie group $G$ have a $C^\infty$ action on a real manifold $M$. Assume every nontrivial element of $G$ has nowhere dense fixpoint set in $M$. First, we show, in every frame bundle, except possibly the $0$th, that each stabilizer…

We study in detail the profinite group G arising as geometric \'etale iterated monodromy group of an arbitrary quadratic polynomial over a field of characteristic different from two. This is a self-similar closed subgroup of the group of…

Let $(G,+)$ be a countable abelian group such that the subgroup $\{g+g\colon g\in G\}$ has finite index and the doubling map $g\mapsto g+g$ has finite kernel. We establish lower bounds on the upper density of a set $A\subset G$ with respect…

A finitely generated group $G$ is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety $\mathcal{UV}$, where $\mathcal{U}$ (respectively,…

Let $(X,\Gamma)$ be a topological system, where $\Gamma$ is a nilpotent group generated by $T_1,\ldots, T_d$ such that for each $T\in \Gamma$, $T\neq e_\Gamma$, $(X,T)$ is weakly mixing and minimal. For $d,k\in \mathbb{N}$, let $p_{i,j}(n),…

We deal with two forms of the "uniqueness cases" in the classification of large simple $K^*$-groups of finite Morley rank of odd type, where large means the $m_2(G)$ at least three. This substantially extends results known for even larger…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…

We address the problem of classifying complete $\mathbb{C}$-subalgebras of $\mathbb{C}[[t]]$. A discrete invariant for this classification problem is the semigroup of orders of the elements in a given $\mathbb{C}$-subalgebra. Hence we can…
