Consider an absolutely simple abelian variety X over a number field K. If the absolute endomorphism ring of X is commutative and satisfies certain parity conditions, then the reduction X_p is absolutely simple for almost all p. Conversely,…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of bad characteristic. We classify the spherical unipotent conjugacy classes of G. We also show that if the characteristic of k is 2, then the fixed point subgroup of…

We show that the stable module $\infty$-category of a finite group $G$ decomposes in three different ways as a limit of the stable module $\infty$-categories of certain subgroups of $G$. Analogously to Dwyer's terminology for homology…

We study irreducible restrictions from modules over alternating groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. This is known when the…

Let $A\subset B$ be an extension of commutative reduced rings and $M\subset N$ an extension of positive commutative cancellative torsion-free monoids. We prove that $A$ is subintegrally closed in $B$ and $M$ is subintegrally closed in $N$…

Let G be a semisimple, simply-connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We observe that the tensor product of the Steinberg module with a minuscule module is always indecomposable tilting.…

In this note, we unify and extend various concepts in the area of $G$-complete reducibility, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group. By results of Serre and Bate--Martin--R\"{o}hrle, the usual notion of $G$-complete reducibility can be…

It is shown that every nonsingular continuous representation of the group algebra $L^{1}(G)$ in Banach spaces is completely reducible if and only if $G$ is a compact group.

It is proved that a profinite group $G$ has fewer than $2^{\aleph_0}$ conjugacy classes of $p$-elements for an odd prime $p$ if and only if its $p$-Sylow subgroups are finite. (Here, by a $p$-element one understands an element that either…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We consider diagonal $p$-permutation functors over a (commutative, unital) ring $\mathsf{R}$ in which all prime numbers different from $p$ are invertible. We first determine the finite groups $G$ for which the…

Let $G$ be a reductive $p$--adic group. Assume that $L\subset G$ is an open--compact subgroup, and $\mathcal H_L$ is the Hecke algebra of $L$--biinivariant complex functions on $G$. It is a well--known and standard result on how to prove…

Let $G$ be a connected algebraic group. An unrefinable chain of $G$ is a chain of subgroups $G = G_0 > G_1 > \cdots > G_t = 1$, where each $G_i$ is a maximal connected subgroup of $G_{i-1}$. We introduce the notion of the length…

We study the preorder $\le_p$ on the family of subsets of an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ defined by letting $A\le_pB $ if there exists a polynomial $P$ such that $A=P^{-1}(B)$.

This text brings to an end the classification of non-reduced parabolic subgroups in positive characteristic, especially two and three: they are all obtained as intersections of parabolics having maximal reduced part. We prove this result…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$. We conjecture that if $M$ is a $kG$-module with $H^*(G,M)$ finitely generated as a module over $H^*(G,k)$ then as an element of the stable module category…

Generalizing results from \cite{DTk,DU} we study the fine structure of locally minimal (locally) precompact Abelian groups (these are the locally essential subgroups $G$ of LCA groups $L$, i.e., such that $G$ non-trivially meets all…

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group over a field k of characteristic p>0. Let p be large enough with respect to the root system. We show that if a finitely generated commutative k-algebra A with G-action has good…

We investigate the irreducible cuspidal $C$-representations of a reductive $p$-adic group $G$ over a field $C$ of characteristic different from $p$. When $C$ is algebraically closed, for many groups $G$, a list of cuspidal $C$-types…

A finite group $G$ is said to be admissible over a field $F$ if there exists a division algebra $D$ central over $F$ with a maximal subfield $L$ such that $L/F$ is Galois with group $G$. In this paper we give a complete characterization of…

The descent algebra of the symmetric group, over a field of non-zero characteristic p, is studied. A homomorphism into the algebra of generalised p-modular characters of the symmetric group is defined. This is then used to determine the…
