Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $E_n (n=6,7,8)$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$. We present examples of triples of closed reductive groups $H<M<G$ such that $H$ is $G$-completely reducible,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and construct a graph $\Delta(G)$ by taking $G\setminus\{1\}$ as the vertex set of $\Delta(G)$ and by drawing an edge between two vertices $x$ and $y$ if $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic. Let $K(G)$ be the set…

We give the following characterization of sofic (weakly sofic) groups: a group $G$ is sofic (weakly sofic) if and only if any system of equations solvable in any alternating group (any finite group) is solvable over $G$.

We recall the notion of nearest integer continued fractions over the Euclidean imaginary quadratic fields $K$ and characterize the "badly approximable" numbers, ($z$ such that there is a $C(z)>0$ with $|z-p/q|\geq C/|q|^2$ for all $p/q\in…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\kk$, an algebraic closure of a finite field. For an integer $r\ge 1$ let $G_r=G(\kk[\e]/(\e^r))$ viewed as an algebraic group of dimension $r\dim G$ over $\kk$. We show that the character of the…
