Let W be an irreducible finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation of W in GL(V) provides a discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the Tits form (the associated bilinear form of the Coxeter group). If the Tits…

Let W be an irreducible, finitely generated Coxeter group. The geometric representation provides an discrete embedding in the orthogonal group of the so-called Tits form. One can look at the representation modulo the kernel of this form; we…

A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over a non-archimedean local field $F$ and $I$ be an Iwahori subgroup of $G(F)$. Let $I_n$ is the $n$-th Moy-Prasad filtration subgroup of $I$. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: to give some nice…

Let K be a field and G a split connected reductive affine algebraic K-group. Let T be a split maximal torus of G, W its finite Weyl group, and R its root system. After fixing a realization of R in G and choosing a simple system for R, one…

In this paper we study affine reflection subgroups in arbitrary infinite Coxeter groups of finite rank. In particular, we study the distribution of roots of Coxeter groups in the root subsystems associated with affine reflection subgroups.…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p. Let G be a (connected) reductive group that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of F. We show that a construction analogous to Yu's construction of complex…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic. Let G be a (connected) reductive group over F that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of F. We revisit Yu's construction of smooth complex representations of…

Let $F$ be a nonarchimedean local field, let $E$ be a Galois quadratic extension of $F$ and let $G$ be a quasisplit group defined over $F$; a conjecture by Dipendra Prasad states that the Steinberg representation of $G(E)$ is then…

We discuss the classification of reflection subgroups of finite and affine Weyl groups from the point of view of their root systems. A short case free proof is given of the well known classification of the isomorphism classes of reflection…

Let k be a non-archimedean local field with residual characteristic p. Let G be a connected reductive group over k that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of k. Suppose p does not divide the order of the Weyl group of G. Then we…

We show that for every integer $d$, there is a constant $N(d)$ such that if $K$ is any field and $F$ is a finite subset of $GL_d(K)$, which generates a non amenable subgroup, then $F^{N(d)}$ contains two elements, which freely generate a…

Given a toric affine algebraic variety $X$ and a collection of one-parameter unipotent subgroups $U_1,\ldots,U_s$ of $\mathop{\rm Aut}(X)$ which are normalized by the torus acting on $X$, we show that the group $G$ generated by…

In this sixth part we study rank $3$ reflection groups not well generated: $G(2r,r,2)$, $G_{12}$, $G_{13}$ and $G_{22}$. We start from a reflection representation of a rank $3$ Coxeter group and we show that we can obtain in this manner…

This paper is a sequel to work of Dynkin on subroot lattices of root lattices and to work of Carter on presentations of Weyl group elements as products of reflections. The quotients $L/L_1$ are calculated for all irreducible root lattices…

We show an analogous result of the famous Tits alternative for a group G of birational automorphisms of a projective hyperk\"aher manifold: Either G contains a non-commutative free group or G is an almost abelian group of finite rank. As an…

Let W be an Iwahori-Weyl group of a connected reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. I prove that if w is an element of W that does not act on the corresponding apartment of G by a translation then one can apply to w a…

Let F be a local non-archimedean field and let G be the group of F-valued points of a reductive algebraic group over F. In this paper we compute the Ext-groups of generalized Steinberg representations in the category of smooth…

The Bruhat-Tits theory is a key ingredient in the construction of irreducible smooth representations of $p$-adic reductive groups. We describe generalizations to arbitrary such representations of several results recently obtained in the…
