In this document we prove: Let $\mathbb K=(K,+,\cdot,v,\Gamma)$ be an algebraically closed valued field and let $(G,\oplus)$ be a $\mathbb K$-definable group that is either the multiplicative group or contains a finite index subgroup that…
Let K be a finite extension of Qp. We fix a continuous absolutely irreducible representation of the absolute Galois group of K over a finite dimensional vector space with coefficient in a finite field of characteristic p and consider its…
In this note, we show various minimality results for a geometric theory of fields $T$: $T$ is stable if and only if it is strongly minimal, $T$ is simple if and only if it has SU-rank 1, and $T$ is rosy if and only if $T$ is surgical.…
Let $\Gamma$ be a nonelementary discrete subgroup of SU(n,1) or Sp(n,1). We show that if the trace field of $\Gamma$ is contained in $\mathbb R$, $\Gamma$ preserves a totally geodesic submanifold of constant negative sectional curvature.…
In recent years, there has been a considerable amount of interest in the stability of a finitely-generated group $\Gamma$ with respect to a sequence of groups $\left\{G_{n}\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$, equipped with bi-invariant metrics…
We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring structures of algebraic K-theory. We then study…
Let $K$ be a complete non-trivially valued non-Archimedean field. Given an algebraic group over $K$ on which every regular function is constant, any rigid analytic function is shown to be constant too. It follows that an algebraic group…
Let $K$ be a $p$-adically closed field and $G$ a group interpretable in $K$. We show that if $G$ is definably semisimple (i.e. $G$ has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup $H$ such that…
Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that…
Let $k$ be a number field, $\mathbf{G}$ an algebraic group defined over $k$, and $\mathbf{G}(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points in $\mathbf{G}.$ We determine the set of functions on $\mathbf{G}(k)$ which are of positive type and…
Let $k$ be a field. We characterize the group schemes $G$ over $k$, not necessarily affine, such that $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(B_kG)$ is compactly generated. We also describe the algebraic stacks that have finite cohomological dimension in…
We study reductive subgroups $H$ of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ -- possibly non-connected -- such that $H$ contains a regular unipotent element of $G$. We show that under suitable hypotheses, such subgroups are $G$-irreducible in…
Let K be an algebraically closed field. For a graded K-Algebra R, we write cmdef R:=dim R -depth R. We show that for each reductive group G (over K) which is not linearly reductive, there exists a faithful G-module V such that cmdef…
For an algebraically closed field K, let G be a finite abelian group of K-linear automorphisms of a finite-dimensional path algebra KQ of a quiver Q. Under certain assumptions on the action of G, we show the existence of a certain kind of…
We initiate the study of subgroups $H$ of the general linear group $GL_{\binom{n}{m}}(R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ that contain the $m$-th exterior power of an elementary group $\bigwedge^mE_n(R)$. Each such group $H$ corresponds to a…
We study infinite groups interpretable in three families of valued fields: $V$-minimal, power bounded $T$-convex, and $p$-adically closed fields. We show that every such group $G$ has unbounded exponent and that if $G$ is dp-minimal then it…
Let $K$ be a function field in positive characteristic, $\infty$ be a fixed place of $K$ and $K_\infty$ be the completion of $K$ at $\infty$. By the work of Serre, it is well known that, for a suitable arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma \subset…
The general affine group $GA_n(q)$ consisting of invertible affine transformations of an affine space of codimension one in the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, can be viewed as a subgroup of the general…
We develop a sheaf cohomology theory of algebraic varieties over an algebraically closed non-trivially valued non-archimedean field $K$ based on Hrushovski-Loeser's stable completion. In parallel, we develop a sheaf cohomology of definable…
We say that a smooth algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$ is very special if for any field extension $K/k$, every $G_K$-homogeneous $K$-variety has a $K$-rational point. It is known that every split solvable linear algebraic group is very…
