We show that for Chevalley groups G(R) of rank at least 2 over a ring R the root subgroups are essentially (nearly always) the double centralizers of corresponding root elements. In very many cases this implies that R and G(R) are…

In this paper we prove that if $G(R)=G_\pi (\Phi,R)$ $(E(R)=E_{\pi}(\Phi, R))$ is an (elementary) Chevalley group of rank $> 1$, $R$ is a local ring (with $\frac{1}{2}$ for the root systems ${\mathbf A}_2, {\mathbf B}_l, {\mathbf C}_l,…

In this paper we consider Chevalley groups over commutative rings with~$1$, constructed by irreducible root systems of rank $>1$. We always suppose that for the systems $A_2, B_\ell, C_\ell, F_4, G_2$ our rings contain $1/2$ and for the…

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…

This paper classifies the derivations of group algebras in terms of the generators and defining relations of the group. If $RG$ is a group ring, where $R$ is commutative and $S$ is a set of generators of $G$ then necessary and sufficient…

We classify finite groups $G$, such that the group algebra, $\mathbb{Q}G$ (over the field of rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$), is the direct product of the group algebra $\mathbb{Q}[G/N]$ of a proper factor group $G/N$, and some division…

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…

In the current article we study structure of a Chevalley group $G(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$. We generalize and improve the following results: (1) standard, relative, and multi-relative commutator formulas; (2) nilpotent structure of…

We show that for $G$ a simple compact Lie group, the infinitesimal subgroup $G^{00}$ is bi-intepretable with a real closed valued field. We deduce that for $G$ an infinite definably compact group definable in an o-minimal expansion of a…

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 study infinite groups interpretable in power bounded $T$-convex, $V$-minimal or $p$-adically closed fields. We show that if $G$ is an interpretable definably semisimple group (i.e., has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups)…

We consider the Chevalley involution in the context of real reductive groups. We show that if G(R) is the real points of a connected reductive group, there is an involution, unique up to conjugacy by G(R), taking any semisimple element to a…

Let G be a semiabelian variety defined over a finite subfield of an algebraically closed field K of prime characteristic. We describe the intersection of a subvariety X of G with a finitely generated subgroup of G(K).

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of prime characteristic. We describe the intersection of a subvariety $X$ of $G$ with a finitely generated subgroup of $G(K)$.

Commensurable groups are bi-interpretable, under suitable definability conditions.

Let $G$ be a simply connected Chevalley--Demazure group scheme without $SL_2$-factors. For any unital commutative ring $R$, we denote by $E(R)$ the standard elementary subgroup of $G(R)$, that is, the subgroup generated by the elementary…

Let $\mathsf G$ be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over $\mathbb R$, and let $C: \mathsf G\rightarrow \mathsf G$ be a fundamental Chevalley involution. We show that for every $g\in \mathsf G(\mathbb R)$, $C(g)$ is…

Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…

For $G$ a connected, reductive group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of large characteristic, we use the canonical Springer isomorphism between the nilpotent variety of $\mathfrak{g}:=\mathrm{Lie}(G)$ and the unipotent variety of $G$…

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…
