We study the complexity of the isomorphism relation for various classes of closed subgroups of the group of permutations of the natural numbers. We use the setting of Borel reducibility between equivalence relations on Polish spaces. For…
Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…
The isomorphism problem for infinite finitely presented groups is probably the hardest among standard algorithmic problems in group theory. Classes of groups where it has been completely solved are nilpotent groups, hyperbolic groups, and…
In this paper, we prove weak elimination of imaginaries for perfect bounded pseudo-algebraically closed fields equipped with finitely many independent valuations. Our approach combines an extension result for types to invariant types with…
Testing isomorphism of infinite groups is a classical topic, but from the complexity theory viewpoint, few results are known. S{\'e}nizergues and the fifth author (ICALP2018) proved that the isomorphism problem for virtually free groups is…
We prove that the isomorphism problem for group algebras reduces to group algebras over finite extensions of the prime field. In particular, the modular isomorphism problem reduces to finite modular group algebras.
In this paper we study elimination of imaginaries in some classes of pure ordered abelian groups. For the class of ordered abelian groups with bounded regular rank (equivalently with finite spines) we obtain weak elimination of imaginaries…
In comparison to graphs, combinatorial methods for the isomorphism problem of finite groups are less developed than algebraic ones. To be able to investigate the descriptive complexity of finite groups and the group isomorphism problem, we…
This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…
We give a survey of recent results related to the problem of characterizing finite-dimensional division algebras by the set of isomorphism classes of their maximal subfields. We also discuss various generalizations of this problem and some…
We reduce the isomorphism problem for undirected graphs without loops to the isomorphism problems for a class of finite dimensional $2$-step nilpotent Lie algebras over a field and for a class of finite $p$-groups. We show that the…
The isomorphism problem means to decide if two given finite-dimensional simple algebras over the same centre are isomorphic and, if so, to construct an isomorphism between them. A solution to this problem has applications in computational…
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over a perfect field. We study the representability of the equivariant automorphism group of G-varieties. For a broad class of complexity-one G-varieties, we show that this group is…
Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…
Let $V$ be a vector space and $U$ a fixed subspace of $V$. We denote the semigroup of all linear transformations on $V$ under composition of functions by $L(V)$. In this paper, we study the semigroup of all linear transformations on $V$…
We prove automorphy lifting theorems for 2-dimensional Galois representations of absolute Galois groups of totally real fields when the residual representation is of "exceptional" type. This exceptional case is when we are in characteristic…
Given an integer $k\ge3$ and a group $G$ of odd order, if there exists a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design and if $v$ is sufficiently large, then there is such a design whose automorphism group has a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A weaker result is proved…
We prove measurable analogues of Whitney's classical theorems on weak isomorphisms of finite graphs. In the setting of locally finite graphings, we introduce a notion of weak isomorphism as an edge-measure-preserving Borel bijection that…
The paper follows two interconnected directions. 1. Let $G$ be a Roelcke precompact closed subgroup of the group $\Sym(\omega)$ of permutations of the natural numbers. Then $\Inn(G)$ is closed in $\Aut(G)$, where $\Aut(G)$ carries the…
