Let $G$ be a group and let $R$ be a $G$-graded ring. We show that a nonzero central idempotent in $R$ has finite support group in two broad settings: when $G$ is abelian, and when $G$ is arbitrary but the grading satisfies a certain…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over a finite field with q elements. We prove that the Mackey formula for the Lusztig induction and restriction holds in G whenever q>2 or G does not have a component of type E.

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A finite dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{K}$ is said to be stable if there exists a linear form $g\in\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ and a Zariski open subset in…

In this note we construct a "restriction" map from the cocenter of a reductive group G over a local non-archimedean field F to the cocenter of a Levi subgroup. We show that the dual map corresponds to parabolic induction and deduce that…

For an element $g$ of a group $G$, an Engel sink is a subset ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$. A~finite group is nilpotent if and only if…

For a class of groups $G$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$, including certain Lie groups, Algebraic groups and finite groups, we develop a general method to determine rational and real elements, thereby unifying earlier group-specific results into…

Let k be a separably closed field. Let G be a reductive algebraic k-group. In this paper, we study Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of G over k. In particular, using the recently proved center conjecture of Tits, we show…

Let G be a linear group such that for every g in G there is a finite set R(g) with the property that for every x in G all sufficiently long commutators [g,x,x,...,x] belong to R(g). It is proved that G is finite-by-hypercentral.

This paper is concerned with absolutely irreducible quasisimple subgroups $G$ of a finite general linear group $GL_d(\mathbb{F}_q)$ for which some element $g\in G$ of prime order $r$, in its action on the natural module…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field and let $V$ be a quasi-projective $G$-variety. We prove that the set of points $v\in V$ such that ${\rm dim}(G_v)$ is minimal and $G_v$ is reductive is open. We also…

If G is a Lie group modeled on a Fr\'echet space, let e be its neutral element and g be its Lie algebra. We show that every strong ILB-Lie group G is L^1-regular in the sense that each f in L^1([0,1],g) is the right logarithmic derivative…

Given a second-countable, Hausdorff, \'etale, amenable groupoid G with compact unit space, we show that an element a in C*(G) is invertible if and only if \lambda_x(a) is invertible for every x in the unit space of G, where \lambda_x refers…

To each Galois extension $L/K$ of number fields with Galois group $G$ and each integer $r \leq 0$ one can associate Stickelberger elements in the centre of the rational group ring $\mathbb{Q}[G]$ in terms of values of Artin $L$-series at…

A theorem of Dolfi, Herzog, Kaplan, and Lev \cite[Thm.~C]{DHKL} asserts that in a finite group with trivial Fitting subgroup, the size of the soluble residual of the group is bounded from below by a certain power of the group order, and…

In a previous paper it was shown that a certain family of varieties suggested by Lusztig, is not enough to construct all irreducible complex representations of reductive groups over finite rings coming from the ring of integers in a local…

Equipped with the operation of setwise multiplication induced by a (multiplicatively written) monoid $H$ on its parts, the collection of all finite subsets of $H$ containing the identity element is itself a monoid, denoted by $\mathcal…

We prove that each positive power of the maximal ideal of a commutative Noetherian local ring is Tor-rigid, and strongly-rigid. This gives new characterizations of regularity and, in particular, shows that such ideals satisfy the torsion…
