We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of…

We study a characteristic subgroup of finitely generated groups, consisting of elements with uniform upper bound for word-lengths. For a group $G$, we denote this subgroup by $G_{bound}$. We give sufficient criteria for triviality and…

We prove that in every finitely generated profinite group, every subgroup of finite index is open; this implies that the topology on such groups is determined by the algebraic structure. This is deduced from the main result about finite…

The Resolution Theorem for Compact Abelian Groups is applied to show that the profinite subgroups of a finite-dimensional compact connected abelian group (protorus) which induce tori quotients comprise a lattice under intersection (meet)…

By generalizing Frobenius' polynomial method to good partition algebra, we will develop new character theories for a finite group $G$. A uniform defining equations are derived for these kinds of character theories. The new character…

The additivity with respect to exact sequences is notoriously a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by deeply exploiting their structure. On the other hand, a solvable…

We derive several vanishing theorems for genera under almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and infinite fundamental group, which includes Todd genus, $\widehat{A}$-genus, elliptic genera and Witten genus. A vanishing theorem of Euler…

This paper deals with $n$-dimensional algebras, over any field, which have only trivial derivation (automorphism) and simple algebras. It is shown that the corresponding sets of algebras are not empty and, in algebraically closed field…

We extend (scheme-theoretic) Bruhat-Tits theory to quasi-reductive groups i.e. with trivial split unipotent radical over discretely valued henselian non-archimedean fields $K$, whose ring of integers is excellent and residue field is…

We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.

We introduce a unified theory of Cartan subgroups and maximal toroids - defined as connected multiplicative type subgroups that are maximal amongst all such subgroups - which holds for all affine algebraic groups over a field, regardless of…

In this paper, the notion of local algebraic fundamental groups of normal complex analytic singularities are generalized to certain profinite groups called $D$-local algebraic fundamental groups which turns out to be useful even for the…

Let $R$ be a regular semilocal integral domain containing an infinite field $k$. Let $f\in R$ be an element such that for all maximal ideals $\mathfrak m$ of $R$ we have $f\notin\mathfrak m^2$. Let $\mathbf G$ be a reductive group scheme…

This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…

The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. Their natural analogues are self-similar nil Lie $p$-algebras. In characteristic zero, similar examples of Lie algebras do not exist (Martinez and…

A generalization of the Auslander conjecture is proved in the case when the Levi factor of the Zariski closure of the acting group is a product of simple real algebraic groups of rank \leq 1. Also, the Auslander conjecture is proved for…

Let $G$ be a connected, absolutely almost simple, algebraic group defined over a finitely generated, infinite field $K$, and let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense subgroup of $G(K)$. We show, apart from some few exceptions, that the…

Let G be a finite group and cd(G) denote the set of complex irreducible character degrees of G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite group and H is an almost simple group whose socle is a sporadic simple group H0 such that cd(G) =…

We investigate the complexity of computing the Zariski closure of a finitely generated group of matrices. The Zariski closure was previously shown to be computable by Derksen, Jeandel, and Koiran, but the termination argument for their…

We give a survey of recent results related to the problem of characterizing finite-dimensional division algebras by the set of isomorphism classes of their maximal subfields. We also discuss various generalizations of this problem and some…
