Let $G$ be a finite group and $\sigma_1(G)=\frac{1}{|G|}\sum_{H\leq G}\,|H|$. In this paper, we prove that if $\sigma_1(G)<2+\frac{11}{|G|}$\,, then $G$ is supersolvable. In particular, some new characterizations of the well-known groups…
By making use of arithmetic information inequalities, we give a strong quantitative bound for the discretised ring theorem. In particular, we show that if $A \subset [1,2]$ is a $(\delta,\sigma)$-set, with $|A| = \delta^{-\sigma},$ then…
An algebraic group is called semi-reductive if it is a semi-direct product of a reductive subgroup and the unipotent radical. Such a semi-reductive algebraic group naturally arises and also plays a key role in the study of modular…
A group $G$ is called root graded if it has a family of subgroups $G_\alpha$ indexed by roots from a root system $\Phi$ satisfying natural conditions similar to Chevalley groups over commutative unital rings. For any such group there is a…
Let $k$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field, $G$ a Chevalley group over $k$, $U$ the maximal unipotent subgroup of $G$. To each orthogonal subset $D$ of the root system of the group $G$ and each set $\xi$ of $|D|$ non-zero scalars…
Let $G$ be the universal Chevalley-Demazure group scheme corresponding to a reduced irreducible root system of rank $\geq 2$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. We analyze the linear representations $\rho \colon G(R)^+ \to GL_n (K)$ over an…
We develop a general theory of algebraic group superschemes, which are not necessarily affine. Our key result is a category equivalence between those group superschemes and Harish-Chandra pairs, which generalizes the result known for affine…
We introduce and study the class of groups graded by root systems. We prove that if {\Phi} is an irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2 and G is a group graded by {\Phi}, then under certain natural conditions on the grading,…
Let R be a Dedekind domain, and let G be a simply connected Chevalley-Demazure group scheme of rank =>2. We prove that G(R[x_1,...,x_n])=G(R)E(R[x_1,...,x_n]) for any n=>1. This extends the corresponding results of A. Suslin and F.…
We find an explicit presentation of relative odd unitary Steinberg groups constructed by odd form rings and of relative doubly laced Steinberg groups over commutative rings, i.e. the Steinberg groups associated with the Chevalley group…
Let $G$ be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank and $\alpha$ a supertight automorphism of $G$ so that the fixed point subgroup $P_n:=C_G(\alpha^n)$ is pseudofinite for all $n\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. It is know (using CFSG)…
In the hyperalgebra of the $r$-th Frobenius kernel of a universal Chevalley group over a field of characteristic $p>0$, we study some subsets and the subalgebras generated by them and give some results. We are particularly interested in the…
It is proved that (elementary) Chevalley groups $G_\pi (\Phi,K)$ and $G_{\pi'}(\Phi',K')$ (or $E_\pi (\Phi,K)$ and $E_{\pi'}(\Phi',K'))$ over infinite fields $K$ and $K'$ of characteristics $\ne 2$, with weight lattices $\Lambda$ and…
I present a construction "a` la Chevalley" of affine supergroups associated with simple Lie superalgebras of (classical) type D(2,1;a), for any possible value of the parameter a - in particular, including non-integral values of a. This…
Given a Chevalley group $\mathcal{G}$ of classical type and a Borel subgroup $\mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{G}$, we compute the $\Sigma$-invariants of the $S$-arithmetic groups $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{Z}[1/N])$, where $N$ is a product of…
We prove that finite index subgroups in S-arithmetic Chevalley groups are bounded.
The goal of this note is to classify the weakly closed unipotent subgroups in the split Chevalley groups. In an application we show under some mild assumptions on the characteristic that the Lie algebra of a connected simple algebraic group…
We consider the simply connected Chevalley group $G(E_7,R)$ of type $E_7$ in the 56-dimensional representation. The main objective of the paper is to prove that the following four groups coincide: the normalizer of the elementary Chevalley…
We prove Suslin's local-global principle for principal congruence subgroups of Chevalley groups. Let $G$ be a Chevalley--Demazure group scheme with a root system $\Phi\ne A_1$ and $E$ its elementary subgroup. Let $R$ be a ring and $I$ an…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra of finite dimension and $\mathfrak{h}$ be a semisimple subalgebra. We present an approach to find the branching rules for the pair $\mathfrak{g}\supset\mathfrak{h}$. According to an…
