Let $A = \bigoplus_{n=0}^{\infty}A_n$ be a connected graded $k$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ (thus $A_0=k$). Assume that a finite abelian group $G$, of order coprime to the characteristic of $k$, acts on $A$ by graded…

A theorem of Dolfi, Herzog, Kaplan, and Lev \cite[Thm.~C]{DHKL} asserts that in a finite group with trivial Fitting subgroup, the size of the soluble residual of the group is bounded from below by a certain power of the group order, and…

A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e. a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and its Lie algebra Lie(G). A prototypical example is the classical…

The existence of closed orbits of real algebraic groups on real algebraic varieties is established. As an application, it is shown that if G is a real reductive linear group with Iwasawa decomposition G= KAN, then every unipotent subgroup…

We classify, up to isomorphism, the group gradings on the non-exceptional classical simple Lie superalgebras, except for type A(1,1), over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. To this end, we study graded-simple and…

In recent work, we related the structure of subvarieties of $n\times n$ complex matrices defined by eigenvalue coincidences to $GL(n-1,\mathbb{C})$-orbits on the flag variety of $\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb{C})$. In the first part of this…

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic $p>0$, and $G$ be the adjoint group of $\mathfrak{g}$. We say that $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying the {\sl…

For local non-archimedean fields $k$ of sufficiently large residual characteristic, we explicitly parametrize and count the rational nilpotent adjoint orbits in each algebraic orbit of orthogonal and special orthogonal groups. We separately…

Let G be a real, connected, noncompact, semisimple Lie group, let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G, and let g=k+p be the corresponding Cartan decomposition of the complexified Lie algebra of G. Sequences of strongly orthogonal…

We prove that a finite coprime linear group G in characteristic p>=(|G|-1)/2 has a regular orbit. This bound on p is best possible. We also give an application to blocks with abelian defect groups.

We give a self-contained introduction to linear algebraic and semialgebraic groups over real closed fields, and we generalize several key results about semisimple Lie groups to algebraic and semialgebraic groups over real closed fields. We…

J. G. Thompson showed that a finite group G is solvable if and only if every two -generated subgroup is solvable. Recently, Grunevald, Kunyavskii, Nikolova, and Plotkin have shown that the analogue holds for finite-dimensional Lie algebras…

Algebraic cycles on complex projective space P(V) are known to have beautiful and surprising properties. Therefore, when V carries a real or quaternionic structure, it is natural to ask for the properties of the groups of real or…

We give positive combinatorial descriptions of Schubert structure constants $c_{u,v}^w$ for the full flag variety in type $A_{n-1}$ when $u$ and $v$ form what we refer to as a "$(p,q)$-pair" ($p+q=n$). The key observation is that a certain…

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 $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteistic $p$ and let ${\rm SL}(n, k)$ denote the special linear algebraic group of degree $n$ over $k$. In this paper, we describe homomorphisms from ${\rm SL}(2, k)$ to ${\rm SL}(4,…

We give a full classification of 6-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras over an arbitrary field, including fields that are not algebraically closed and fields of characteristic~2. To achieve the classification we use the action of the…

Fix an integral semisimple element $\lambda$ in the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Let $L$ denote the centralizer of $\lambda$ in $G$ and let $\mathfrak{g}(-1)$ denote the $-1$ eigenspace of…
