We study the decomposition of a generic element $g \in G$ of a connected reductive complex algebraic group $G$ in the form $g = N(g) B(g) \bar{u} N(g)^{-1}$ where $N: G \dashrightarrow \mathcal{N}_-$ and $B : G \dashrightarrow…

Let $\Phi$ be a classical root system and $k$ be a field of sufficiently large characteristic. Let $G$ be the classical group over $k$ with the root system $\Phi$, $U$ be its maximal unipotent subgroup and $\mathfrak{u}$ be the Lie algebra…

For any compact Lie group $G$ and any $n$ we construct a smooth $G$-manifold $U_n(G)$ such that any smooth $n$-dimensional $G$-manifold can be embedded in $U_n(G)$ with a trivial normal bundle. Furthermore, we show that such embeddings are…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field and $G$ a connected reductive group defined over $F$. To any unipotent element $u$ in $G(F)$, we have associated in [L] an $F$-stratum $\boldsymbol{\mathfrak{Y}}_{F,u}$ which is a (possibly…

This paper is a generalization of a previous paper by the author to connected unipotent linear algebraic groups. The notion of an $ \alpha $-pair answers when an open $ G $-stable, affine, sub-variety $ D(H) $ is a trivial bundle over $ G…

An algebraic group is called semi-reductive if it is a semi-direct product of a reductive subgroup and the unipotent radical. Such a semi-reductive algebraic group naturally arises and also plays a key role in the study of modular…

We say that a smooth algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$ is very special if for any field extension $K/k$, every $G_K$-homogeneous $K$-variety has a $K$-rational point. It is known that every split solvable linear algebraic group is very…

Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic $p$. In 2018 Korhonen showed that if $H$ is a connected reductive subgroup of $G$ which contains a distinguished unipotent element $u$…

Some properties of abnormal subgroups in generalized soluble groups will be considered. In particular, the transitivity of abnormality in metahypercentral groups is proven. Also it will be proven that a subgroup H of a radical group G is…

We give an upper bound for the essential dimension of a smooth unipotent algebraic group over an arbitrary field. We also show that over a field $k$ which is finitely generated over a perfect field, a smooth unipotent algebraic $k$-group is…

Let G be a simple adjoint group and let K=k((\epsilon)) where k is an algebraic closure of a finite field F_q. In this paper we define some geometric objects on G(K) which are similar to the (cohomology sheaves of) the unipotent character…

We describe the structure of finite groups with $\mathfrak{F}$-subnormal or self-normalizing primary cyclic subgroups when $\mathfrak{F}$ is a subgroup-closed saturate superradical formation containing all nilpotent groups. We prove that…

For a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ of $G$ this article discusses the normalizer of $H$ in the units of a group ring $RG$. We prove that $H$ is only normalized by the `obvious' units, namely products of elements of $G$ normalizing $H$ and…
