Let G be a Chevalley group scheme of rank l. We show that the following holds for some absolute constant d>0 and two functions p_0=p_0(l) and C=C(l,p). Let p>p_0 be a prime number and let G_n:=G(\Z/p^n\Z) be the family of finite groups for…

Let $k = \mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (or finite extensions of these). Let $G$ be a $p$-valuable group, and form its completed group algebra $kG$. By analysing the conjugation action of $G$ on itself, we prove two structural results.…

An important ingredient in the completion theorem of equivariant K-theory given by S. Jackowski is that the representation ring R(Gamma) of a compact Lie group satisfies two restriction properties called (N) and (R\_{F}). We give in this…
