Given a semisimple linear algebraic $k$-group $G$, one has a spherical building $\Delta_G$, and one can interpret the geometric realisation $\Delta_G(\mathbb R)$ of $\Delta_G$ in terms of cocharacters of $G$. The aim of this paper is to…

In this paper, we study rationality properties of reductive group actions which are defined over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. Thereby, we unify Luna's theory of spherical systems and Borel-Tits' theory of reductive groups. In…

Let $RG$ be the group ring of a finite group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. An element $x$ in $RG$ is said to be skew-symmetric with respect to an involution $\sigma$ of $RG$ if $\sigma(x)=-x.$ A structure theorem for the…

Let $G$ be a real reductive algebraic group, and let $H\subset G$ be an algebraic subgroup. It is known that the action of $G$ on the space of functions on $G/H$ is "tame" if this space is spherical. In particular, the multiplicities of the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring graded by a torsionfree abelian group $G$. We introduce the notion of $G$-graded irreducibility and prove that $G$-graded irreducibility is equivalent to irreducibility in the usual sense. This is a…

Let $R$ be a semilocal geometrically factorial Noetherian domain of characteristic zero. We show that a reductive $R$-group scheme is isotropic if it is generically isotropic. We derive various consequences, in particular for the…

It is easy to show that a pseudovariety which is reducible with respect to an implicit signature $\sigma$ for the equation $x=y$ can also be defined by $\sigma$-identities. We present several negative examples for the converse using…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed and complete non-archimedean and non-trivially valued field, and let $G$ be a reductive group scheme acting on a flat projective scheme $X$ defined over the base ring of $K$-integers. For every $K$-point…

Let $G=G(K)$ be a simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. A subgroup $X$ of $G$ is said to be $G$-completely reducible if, whenever it is contained in a parabolic subgroup of $G$, it is…

The theory of total positivity for reductive groups is here extended to the case of symmetric spaces.

Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $G$ a finite group. $G$ is said to be $\sigma$-soluble if every chief factor $H/K$ of $G$ is a $\sigma _{i}$-group for some $i=i(H/K)$. A set…

We review the notion of reducibility and we introduce and discuss the notion of orbital reducibility for autonomous ordinary differential equations of first order. The relation between (orbital) reducibility and (orbital) symmetry is…

A complete reduction on a difference field is a linear operator that enables one to decompose an element of the field as the sum of a summable part and a remainder such that the given element is summable if and only if the remainder is…

When the base ring is not a field, power reductivity of a group scheme is a basic notion, intimately tied with finite generation of subrings of invariants. Geometric reductivity is weaker and less pertinent in this context. We give a survey…
