We introduce and study certain hyperbolic versions of automorphic Lie algebras related to the modular group. Let $\Gamma$ be a finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with an action on a complex simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak…

Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$, and let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of an arithmetic group defined with respect to $K$ and such that any torsion element of $\Gamma$ is a $p$-torsion element. We define…

Consider a graph $\Gamma$. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components containing cycles. If $\Gamma$ has a cyclic vertex cutset, then it…

The existence of closed orbits of real algebraic groups on certain real algebraic spaces is established. As an application it is shown that if $G$ is a real reductive group with Iwasawa decomposition $G=KAN$, then all unipotent subgroups of…

We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine…

We construct families of $CAT(0)$ groups containing finitely presented groups whose divergence functions are of the form $r^\alpha$ for a dense set of exponents $\alpha \in [2,\infty)$ and $r^q\log(r)$ for integers $q \geq 2$. The same…

We introduce a class of strongly \'{e}tale difference algebras, whose role in the study of difference equations is analogous to the role of \'{e}tale algebras in the study of algebraic equations. We deduce an improved version of Babbitt's…

We study the space of irreducible representations of a crossed product C*-algebra AxG, where G is a finite group. We construct a space $\Gamma$ which consists of pairs of irreducible representations of A and irreducible projective…

A separating algebra is, roughly speaking, a subalgebra of the ring of invariants whose elements distinguish between any two orbits that can be distinguished using invariants. In this paper, we introduce a geometric notion of separating…

Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $q$ elements,where $q$ is a power of a prime number $p$. Let $\Bbbk$ be a field and we study the extensions of certain $\bk\bg$-modules…

We describe a graded extension of the usual Hecke algebra: it acts in a graded fashion on the cohomology of an arithmetic group $\Gamma$. Under favorable conditions, the cohomology is freely generated in a single degree over this graded…

Consider the general linear group, which is not connected but rather has two connected components, the matrices with positive determinant and the ones with negative determinant. Consider the Iwasawa decomposition of its special linear…

Let $\Lambda$ be a graded self-injective algebra. We describe its smash product $\Lambda# k\mathbb Z^*$ with the group $\mathbb Z$, its Beilinson algebra and their relationship. Starting with $\Lambda$, we construct algebras with finite…

The Donald-Flanigan conjecture asserts that for any finite group and for any field, the corresponding group algebra can be deformed to a separable algebra. The minimal unsolved instance, namely the quaternion group over a field of…

We present a link between easy quantum groups, discrete groups and combinatorics. By this, we infer new connections between quantum isometry groups, reflection groups, varieties of groups and the combinatorics of partitions. More precisely,…

We initiate a systematic study of the perfection of affine group schemes of finite type over fields of positive characteristic. The main result intrinsically characterises and classifies the perfections of reductive groups, and obtains a…

We provide Hurewicz tests for the separation of disjoint analytic sets by rectangles of the form $\Gamma\times\Gamma'$ for $\Gamma,\Gamma'\in {\mathbf\Sigma^0_1 , \mathbf\Pi^0_1 , \mathbf\Pi^0_2 }$.

We study the notion of $\Gamma$-graded commutative algebra for an arbitrary abelian group $\Gamma$. The main examples are the Clifford algebras already treated by Albuquerque and Majid. We prove that the Clifford algebras are the only…

We introduce the class of graded Lie-Rinehart algebras as a natural generalization of the one of graded Lie algebras. For $G$ an abelian group, we show that if $L$ is a tight $G$-graded Lie-Rinehart algebra over an associative and…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a separable nuclear C*-algebra, and $\mathcal{B}$ be a nonunital separable simple $\mathcal{Z}$-stable C*-algebra. Continuing the work from Gabe-Lin-Ng, we classify all essential extensions, with large complement, of…
