We study the equivariant cohomology of spherical perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of a connected reductive group $G$ with support in the affine Grassmannian of any Levi subgroup $L$ of $G$. In doing so, we extend the work of…

Fix a flat and projective morphism $X\rightarrow\Sigma$ of schemes. We show, first, that any set of $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibrations on $X$ defines a set of simple roots, a set of simple coroots and a Cartan matrix $C$. Second, $X$ is an \'etale…

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible root system (other than $G_2$) of rank at least $2$, let $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field with $p = \operatorname{char} \mathbb{F} > 3$, and let $\mathrm{G}(\Phi,\mathbb{F})$ be the corresponding Chevalley group.…

Let P be a parabolic subgroup of a semisimple complex Lie group G defined by a subset \Sigma of simple roots of G, and let E_\phi be a homogeneous vector bundle over the flag manifold G/P corresponding to a linear representation \phi of P.…

Let $G$ be a finite group, let $\pi(G)$ be the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and let $\Gamma(G)$ be the prime graph of $G$. This graph has vertex set $\pi(G)$, and two vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if $G$ contains an…

In this paper we examine embeddings of alternating groups and symmetric groups into almost simple groups of exceptional type. In particular, we prove that unless the alternating or symmetric group has degree 6 or 7, there is no maximal…

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a graph with set of vertices $V(G)$ and set of edges $E(G)$. For $k\ge 0$ an integer, a subset $I_k$ of $V(G)$ is called a $k$-nearly independent vertex subset of $G$ if $I_k$ induces a subgraph of size $k$ in $G$.…

For simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups $G = F_4, E_6$ and $E_7$, we consider two involutions $\sigma, \gamma$ and determine the group structure of subgroups $G^{\sigma,\gamma}$ of $G$ which are the intersection $G^\sigma \cap…

The main aim of this paper is to prove $R$-triviality for simple, simply connected algebraic groups with Tits index $E_{8,2}^{78}$ or $E_{7,1}^{78}$, defined over a field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. Let $G$ be such a group. We prove…

Let G be a finite group and {\sigma} = {{\sigma}_i, i \in I} be a partition of the set of all primes \mathbb{P}. A set \mathcal{H} of subgroups of G with 1 \in \mathcal{H} is said to be a complete Hall {\sigma}-set of G if every…

A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma = (V, E)$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such that no two vertices in $C$ are adjacent and every vertex in $V \setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called a…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent group and $\pi$ be a square-integrable irreducible unitary representation modulo its center $Z(G)$ on $L^2(\mathbf{R}^d)$. We prove that under reasonably weak conditions on $G$ and $\pi$…

We prove a higher-dimensional Chevalley restriction theorem for orthogonal groups, which was conjectured by Chen and Ng\^{o} for reductive groups. In characteristic $p>2$, we also prove a weaker statement. In characteristic $0$, the theorem…

We prove the centrality of the congruence kernel for the elementary subgroup of a Chevalley group G of rank >1 over an arbitrary noetherian ring R (under some minor restrictions on R if G is of type C_n or G_2).

We begin with a review of the structure of simple, simply-connected complex Lie groups and their Lie algebras, describe the Chevalley lattice and the associated split group over the integers. This gives us a hyperspecial maximal compact…

We show that if G is a Chevalley group of rank n and F_q[t,t^{-1}] is the ring of Laurent polynomials over a finite field, then G(F_q[t,t^{-1}]) is of type F_{2n-1}. This bound is optimal because it is known -- and we show again -- that the…

We revisit localisation and patching method in the setting of Chevalley groups. Introducing certain subgroups of relative elementary Chevalley groups, we develop relative versions of the conjugation calculus and the commutator calculus in…

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_i |i\in I\}$ is some partition of all primes $\mathbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-subnormal in $G$ if there exists a subgroup chain $H=H_0\leq H_1\leq \cdots \leq H_n=G$…

In this paper, we continue our study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank $\geq 2.$ First, we extend our earlier methods to analyze representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative…
