In this paper, we prove the normality of the Roy's elementary orthogonal group (Dickson--Siegel--Eichler--Roy or DSER group) over a commutative ring which was introduced by A. Roy in [MR0231844] under some conditions on the hyperbolic rank.…
Let $(Q, q)$ be a quadratic space over a commutative ring $R$ in which $2$ is invertible, and consider the Dickson--Siegel--Eichler--Roy's subgroup $EO_{R}(Q, H(R)^{m})$ of the orthogonal group $O_R(Q \perp H(R)^m)$, with rank $Q= n \geq 1$…
We prove the dilation principle for the relative Dickson-Siegel-Eichler-Roy (DSER) elementary orthogonal group and using the dilation principle we prove the Quillen's analog of the local-global principle for the group. Applying the relative…
In this article, we give explicit proofs of certain commutator relations among the elementary generators of the elementary orthogonal group $EO_A(Q\perp H(P))$, where $A$ is a commutative ring, $Q$ is a non-singular quadratic $A$-space and…
In [9] Bogdan Nica presented an elementary proof of a result which says that the relative elementary linear group with respect to a square of an ideal of the ring is a subset of the true relative elementary linear group. The original result…
We give new information about the relationship between the low-dimensional homology of a group and its derived series. This yields information about how the low-dimensional homology of a topological space constrains its fundamental group.…
H. Bass defined orthogonal transvection group of an orthogonal module and elementary orthogonal transvection group of an orthogonal module with a hyperbolic direct summand. We also have the notion of relative orthogonal transvection group…
Let D be a division ring such that the number of conjugacy classes in the multiplicative group D^* is equal to the power of D^*. Suppose that H(V) is the group GL(V) or PGL(V), where V is an infinite-dimensional vector space over D. We…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $D$ be a discrete Hodge algebra over $R$ of dimension $d>\text{dim}(R)$. Then we show that (i) the top Euler class group $E^d(D)$ of $D$ is trivial. (ii) if $d>\text{dim}(R)+1$, then $(d-1)$-st…
The three famous problems concerning units, zero-divisors and idempotents in group rings of torsion-free groups, commonly attributed to I. Kaplansky, have been around for more than 60 years and still remain open in characteristic zero. In…
The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group over a regular semilocal ring is itself trivial. Extending the work of \v{C}esnavi\v{c}ius and Fedorov, we prove a non-noetherian…
We prove a Berger-type theorem which asserts that if the orthogonal subgroup generated by the torsion tensor (pulled back to a point by parallel transport) of a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion is not transitive on the sphere,…
Let $G$ be a group and $X(G)$ its Sidki Double. The idempotent conjecture says that there should be no non-trivial idempotent in the complex group ring of a torsion-free group. We investigate this conjecture for the Sidki double of a…
In this paper, we continue our study of abstract representations of elementary subgroups of Chevalley groups of rank $\geq 2.$ First, we extend our earlier methods to analyze representations of elementary groups over arbitrary associative…
In this expository note, I showcase the relevance of Coxeter groups to quiver representations. I discuss (1) real and imaginary roots, (2) reflection functors, and (3) torsion free classes and c-sortable elements. The first two topics are…
Using the technique of inductive resolution introduced in arXiv:2303.07979, we prove that the homology of Rook-Brauer Algebra, interpreted as appropriate Tor-group, is isomorphic to that of symmetric group for all degrees under the…
A \textit{$k$-transversal} to family of sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a $k$-dimensional affine subspace that intersects each set of the family. In 1957 Hadwiger provided a necessary and sufficient condition for a family of pairwise disjoint,…
We show that the standard set of elementary generators of an elementary isotropic reductive group over a connected finitely generated ring is a Kazhdan subset. This generalizes the corresponding result of M. Ershov, A. Jaikin-Zapirain, and…
In a 1918 paper Schur proved a remarkable inequality that related group representations, Hermitian forms and determinants. He also gave concise necessary and sufficient conditions for equality. In 1964, Marcus gave a beautiful short proof…
In this paper, we prove that the semigroups of invertible matrices with nonnegative elements over linearly oredered associative rings are elementarily equivalent if and only if the matrices have the same dimension and the rings are…
