Root systems are sets with remarkable symmetries and therefore they appear in many situations in mathematics. Among others, denominator formulae of root systems are very beautiful and mysterious equations which have several meanings from a…

Let $G$ be a $\mathbb{Q}_p$-split reductive group with connected centre and Borel subgroup $B=TN$. We construct a right exact functor $D^\vee_\Delta$ from the category of smooth modulo $p^n$ representations of $B$ to the category of…

For a finite group G, we study the higher commuting probabilities, namely the probabilities that r randomly chosen elements of G commute pairwise, together with the corresponding numbers of simultaneous conjugacy classes of commuting…

A group $G$ is called root graded if it has a family of subgroups $G_\alpha$ indexed by roots from a root system $\Phi$ satisfying natural conditions similar to Chevalley groups over commutative unital rings. For any such group there is a…

The Grigorchuk and Gupta-Sidki groups play fundamental role in modern group theory. Their natural analogues are self-similar nil Lie $p$-algebras. In characteristic zero, similar examples of Lie algebras do not exist (Martinez and…

We provide formulas for the denominator and superdenominator of a basic classical type Lie superalgebra for any set of positive roots. We establish a connection between certain sets of positive roots and the theory of reductive dual pairs…

There are several results in the literature concerning $p$-groups $G$ with a maximal elementary abelian normal subgroup of rank $k$ due to Thompson, Mann and others. Following an idea of Sambale we obtain bounds for the number of generators…

Let $A$ be an Artinian local ring with algebraically closed residue field $k$, and let $\mathbf{G}$ be an affine smooth group scheme over $A$. The Greenberg functor $\mathcal{F}$ associates to $\mathbf{G}$ a linear algebraic group…

We introduce a class of Lie algebras called admissible Lie algebras. We show that a locally finite admissible simple Lie algebra contains a nonzero maximal toral subalgebra and the corresponding root system is an irreducible locally finite…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider associative unital algebras $A$ over $K$ graded by $G$, that is $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$, where the vector subspaces $A_g$…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple, finite-dimensional Lie (super)algebra equipped with an embedding of $\mathfrak{s} \mathfrak{l}_2$ inducing the minimal gradation on $\mathfrak{g}$. The corresponding minimal $\mathcal{W}$-algebra…

This is the second paper of a series of papers on a version of categories $\mathcal{O}$ for root-reductive Lie algebras. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a root-reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic…

Let $\mathfrak{g} = \bigoplus_{i \in \mathbb{Z} /m \mathbb{Z}} \mathfrak{g}_i$ be a periodically graded semisimple complex Lie algebra. In this note, we give a uniform proof of the recent result by W. de Graaf and H. V. L\^e that the…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…

In this thesis we describe the universal central extension of two important classes of so-called root-graded Lie algebras defined over a commutative associative unital ring $k.$ Root-graded Lie algebras are Lie algebras which are graded by…

Let $g$ be a simple Lie algebra and $Ab$ the poset of non-trivial abelian ideals of a fixed Borel subalgebra of $g$. In 2003 (IMRN, no.35, 1889--1913), we constructed a partition of $Ab$ into the subposets $Ab_\mu$, parameterised by the…

In this paper we classify, under certain restrictions, all homogeneous conformal subalgebras $\goth L$ of a lattice vertex superalgebra $V_\Lambda$ corresponding to an integer lattice $\Lambda$. We require that $\goth L$ is graded by an…
