An isomorphism between the group ring of a finite group and a ring of certain block diagonal matrices is established. The group ring $RG$ of a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to the set of {\em group ring matrices} over $R$. It is shown that…

We characterize the groups isomorphic to full automorphism groups of ordered abelian groups. The result will follow from classical theorems on ordered groups adding an argument from proofs used to realize rings as endomorphism rings of…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For field extensions $L/\mathbb{Q}_p$ with Galois group isomorphic to the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ of order $2p$, we consider the problem of computing a basis of the associated order in each Hopf Galois structure and…

The endomorphism ring End(A) of an abelian variety A is an order in a semi-simple algebra over Q. The co-index of End(A) is the index to a maximal order containing it. We show that for abelian varieties of fixed dimension over any…

We prove a vanishing theorem for one forms on the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties of genus g>1 with level structure N over fields of characteristic p different from two. This is used to compute the Picard groups of…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

We study Hilbert modular forms in characteristic $p$ and over $p$-adic rings. In the characteristic $p$-theory we describe the kernel and image of the $q$-expansion map and prove the existence of filtration for Hilbert modular forms; we…

Let p be a prime and G be a torsion-free abelian group. A homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers is called a p-adic functional on G. If G has finite rank, then G can be represented as an inductive limit of an inductive sequence of free…

In this paper we develop a theory of class invariants associated to $p$-adic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields. Our main tool for doing this involves a new way of describing certain Selmer groups attached to…

We study the category of discrete modules over the ring of degree zero stable operations in p-local complex K-theory. We show that the p-local K-homology of any space or spectrum is such a module, and that this category is isomorphic to a…

For every prime $p$ and integer $n\ge 3$ we explicitly construct an abelian variety $A/\F_{p^n}$ of dimension $n$ such that for a suitable prime $l$ the group of quasi-isogenies of $A/\F_{p^n}$ of $l$-power degree is canonically a dense…

For an odd prime number $p$, we consider degree $p$ extensions $L/K$ of $p$-adic fields with normal closure $\widetilde{L}$ such that the Galois group of $\widetilde{L}/K$ is the dihedral group of order $2p$. We shall prove a complete…

Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics (0,p). Given an order p-automorphism of a formal disc (or annulus) over R, we describe the minimal semi-stable model for which the specialisations of fixed points are…

Many open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups can be studied by reducing them to related questions about quasi-simple groups. In such studies, $p$-radical subgroups typically play a critical role. To classify the…

Let $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}[G]))$ denote the group of central units in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ of a finite group $G$. A bound on the index of the subgroup generated by a virtual basis in…

The question whether non-isomorphic finite $p$-groups can have isomorphic modular group algebras was recently answered in the negative by Garc\'ia-Lucas, Margolis and del R\'io [J. Reine Angew. Math. 783 (2022), pp. 269-274]. We embed these…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

We classify the pairs $(X,\pi)$, where $\pi\colon X\to S$ is a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle over a non-rational geometrically ruled surface $S$ and $\mathrm{Aut}^\circ(X)$ is relatively maximal, i.e., maximal with respect to the inclusion in the…

We introduce a class of rings, namely the class of left or right $p$-nil rings, for which the adjoint groups behave regularly. Every $p$-ring is close to being left or right $p$-nil in the sense that it contains a large ideal belonging to…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…
