We observe that the class of left and right artinian left and right morphic rings agrees with the class of artinian principal ideal rings. For $R$ an artinian principal ideal ring and $G$ a group, we characterize when $RG$ is a principal…

A commutative ring R is locally stable provided that for any $a,b\in R$ such that $aR+bR=R$, there exist some $y\in R$ such that $R/(a+by)R$ has stable range 1.For a Bezout ring $R$, we prove that $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if and…

We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring $A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]$. Then the fixed subring $A^G$ has…

The idea that the cohomology of finite groups might be fruitfully approached via the cohomology of ambient semisimple algebraic groups was first shown to be viable in the papers [CPS75] and [CPSvdK77]. The second paper introduced, through a…

We prove that the width of any word in a simply connected Chevalley group of rank at least 2 over the ring that is a localisation of the ring of integers in a number field is bounded by a constant that depends only on the root system and on…

In the given paper we prove that every automorphism of a Chevalley group of type $B_l$, $l\geqslant 2$, over a commutative local ring with 1/2 is standard, i. e., it is a composition of ring, inner and central automorphisms.

In a ring $A$ an ideal $I$ is called (principally) nilary if for any two (principal) ideals $V, W$ in $A$ with $VW\subseteq I,$ then either $V^n\subseteq I$ or $W^m\subseteq I,$ for some positive integers $m$ and $n$ depending on $V$ and…

We construct elementary subgroups of all reductive groups of the local isotropic rank $\geq 2$ over rings and prove their basic properties. In particular, our results may be applied to the automorphism groups of any finitely generated…

Let $G$ be a group acting via ring automorphisms on an integral domain $R.$ A ring-theoretic property of $R$ is said to be $G$-invariant, if $R^G$ also has the property, where $R^G=\{r\in R \ | \ \sigma(r)=r \ \text{for all} \ \sigma\in…

Arthur has conjectured that the unitarity of a number of representations can be shown by finding appropriate automorphic realizations. This has been verified for classical groups by Moeglin and for the exceptional Chevalley group G_2 by…

The Main Theorem for abelian fields (often called Main Conjecture despite proofs in most cases) has a long history which has found a solution by means of "elementary arithmetic", as detailed in Washington's book from Thaine's method having…

We define and study root graded groups, that is, groups graded by finite root systems. This notion generalises several existing concepts in the literature, including in particular Jacques Tits' notion of RGD-systems. The most prominent…

Let R be a connected noetherian commutative ring, and let G be a simply connected reductive group over R of isotropic rank ge 2. The elementary subgroup E(R) of G(R) is the subgroup generated by the R-points U_P^+(R) and U_P^-(R) of the…

We formulate and prove relative versions of several classical decompositions known in the theory of Chevalley groups over commutative rings. As an application we obtain upper estimates for the width of principal congruence subgroups in…

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…

Let R be a regular local ring. Let G be a reductive R-group scheme. A conjecture of Grothendieck and Serre predicts that a principal G-bundle over R is trivial if it is trivial over the quotient field of R. The conjecture is known when R…

Assume that R is a semi-local regular ring containing an infinite perfect field, or that R is a semi-local ring of several points on a smooth scheme over an infinite field. Let K be the field of fractions of R. Let H be a strongly inner…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…

In our previous joint papers with Roozbeh Hazrat and Alexei Stepanov we established commutator formulas for relative elementary subgroups in $GL(n,R)$, $n\ge 3$, and other similar groups, such as Bak's unitary groups, or Chevalley groups.…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, $G$ be the group $GL(n, F)$. In this note, under the assumption $(n, p)=1$, we show a simple cuspidal representation $\pi$ (that with normalized level $\frac{1}{n}$) of…
