In the present paper we prove sandwich classification for the overgroups of the subsystem subgroup $E(\Delta,R)$ of the Chevalley group $G(\Phi,R)$ for the three types of pair $(\Phi,\Delta)$ (the root system and its subsystem) such that…

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…

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…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, $\Lambda$ be a $k$-algebra and $V$ be a $\Lambda$-module. When it exists, the universal deformation ring $R(\Lambda,V)$ of $V$ is a $k$-algebra whose local homomorphisms to $R$ parametrize the lifts of $V$ up…

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…

This thesis investigates certain structural properties of twisted Chevalley groups over commutative rings, focusing on three key problems. Let $R$ be a commutative ring satisfying mild conditions. Let $G_{\pi,\sigma} (\Phi, R)$ denote a…

We study a class of second-order boundary-degenerate elliptic equations in two dimensions with minimal regularity assumptions. We prove a maximum principle and a Harnack inequality at the degenerate boundary, and assuming local boundedness,…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $R$ a $k$-algebra. In this paper we study homogeneous $R$-lnds $D$ on $R[X,Y,Z]$ with respect to the standard weights $(1,1,1)$. We show that when $R$ is a PID, $rank(D)$ can be at most $2$ if…

We prove the existence of a bound on the number of steps of the minimal model program for singular surfaces in terms of discrepancies and top Chern numbers. As an application, we prove that given $R\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\epsilon\in (0,1)$,…

In this paper we prove that every automorphism of a Chevalley group with the root system G_2 over a commutative ring R with 1/3, generated by all its invertible elements and the ideal 2R is a composition of ring and inner automorphisms.

Given a vector bundle on a $\mathbb{P}^1$ bundle, the base is stratified by degeneracy loci measuring the spitting type of the vector bundle restricted to each fiber. The classes of these degeneracy loci in the Chow ring or cohomology ring…

In this article, we prove that the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ of a complete open manifold $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature is finitely generated, under the condition that the Riemannian universal cover $\tilde M$ satisfies an "almost…

We continue study of subgroups of a Chevalley group $G_P(\Phi,R)$ over a ring $R$ with a root system $\Phi$ and a weight lattice $P$, containing the elementary subgroup $E_P(\Phi,K)$ over a subring $K$ of $R$. Recently A. Bak and A.…

We prove that every homomorphism from the elementary Chevalley group over a finitely generated unital commutative ring associated with reduced irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2, and ME analogues of such groups, into…

This paper describes a bounded generation result concerning the minimal natural number $K$ such that for $Q(C_2,2R):=\{A\varepsilon_{\phi}(2x)A^{-1}|x\in R,A\in{\rm Sp}_4(R),\phi\in C_2\}$, one has $N_{C_2,2R}=\{X_1\cdots X_K|\forall 1\leq…

We prove that if L is a finite simple group of Lie type and A a symmetric set of generators of L, then A grows i.e |AAA| > |A|^{1+epsilon} where epsilon depends only on the Lie rank of L, or AAA=L. This implies that for a family of simple…

Let f be a nondegenerate quadratic form in at least 5 variables over a number field K and let S be a finite set of valuations of K containing all Archimedean ones. We prove that if the Witt index of f is at least 2 or it is 1 and S contains…

We show that the number of deformation types of canonically polarized manifolds over an arbitrary variety with proper singular locus is finite, and that this number is uniformly bounded in any finite type family of base varieties. As a…

Consider a compact connected Lie group $G$ and the corresponding Lie algebra $\cal L$. Let $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$ be a set of generators for the Lie algebra $\cal L$. We prove that $G$ is uniformly finitely generated by $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$. This…

For a finite group $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ denote the maximum diameter of a connected Cayley graph of $G$. A well-known conjecture of Babai states that $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ is bounded by ${(\log_{2} |G|)}^{O(1)}$ in case $G$ is a…
