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…
Let G be a finite group and let k be a field. We say that G is a projective basis of a k-algebra A if it is isomorphic to a twisted group algebra k^\alpha G for some class \alpha in H^2(G,k^\times), where the action of G on k^\times is…
Seeking for a converse to a well-known theorem by Borel-Tits, we address the question whether the group of rational points G(k) of an anisotropic reductive k-group may admit a split spherical BN-pair. We show that if k is a perfect field or…
In this paper we discourse basises of representable algebras. This question lead to arithmetic problems. We prove algorithmical solvability of exponential-Diophantine equations in rings represented by matrices over fields of positive…
For a locally compact group $G$ and compact subgroup $K$, we consider a Delsarte-type extremal problem for $G$-invariant positive definite kernels on the homogeneous space $G/K$, generalising a certain Tur\'an problem for isotropic positive…
The prime graph question asks whether the Gruenberg-Kegel graph of an integral group ring $\mathbb Z G$ , i.e. the prime graph of the normalised unit group of $\mathbb Z G$ coincides with that one of the group $G$. In this note we prove for…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $K$ a normal subset consisting of odd-order elements. The rational closure of $K$, denoted $\mathbf D_K$, is the set of elements $x \in G$ with the property that $\langle x \rangle = \langle y \rangle$ for some…
We give an explicit algebraic description, based on prismatic cohomology, of the algebraic K-groups of rings of the form $O_K/I$ where $K$ is a p-adic field and $I$ is a non-trivial ideal in the ring of integers $O_K$; this class includes…
Let G be a simple complex algebraic group and let K be a reductive subgroup of G such that the coordinate ring of G/K is a multiplicity free G-module. We consider the G-algebra structure of C[G/K], and study the decomposition into…
We consider groups G which have a cocompact, 3-manifold model for the classifying space \underline{E}G. We provide an algorithm for computing the rationalized equivariant K-homology of \underline{E}G. Under the additional hypothesis that…
We study the K-theory of actions of diagonalizable group schemes on noetherian regular separated algebraic spaces: our main result shows how to reconstruct the K-theory ring of such an action from the K-theory rings of the loci where the…
We consider the problem of Diophantine approximation on semisimple algebraic groups by rational points with restricted numerators and denominators and establish a quantitative approximation result for all real points in the group by…
We prove that Hilbert's Tenth Problem for a ring of integers in a number field K has a negative answer if K satisfies two arithmetical conditions (existence of a so-called division-ample set of integers and of an elliptic curve of rank one…
This work is a continuation of Automorphisms of $K$-groups I, P. Flavell, preprint. The main object of study is a finite $K$-group $G$ that admits an elementary abelian group $A$ acting coprimely. For certain group theoretic properties…
We prove that the algebra of functions on the cotangent bundle $T^*(G/U_P)$ of the parabolic base affine space for a reductive group $G$ and a parabolic subgroup $P$ is isomorphic to the subalgebra of the functions on $G \times L \times…
Let G be the group of rational points of a connected reductive group over a finite field. Based on work of Lusztig and Yun, we make the Jordan decomposition for irreducible G-representations canonical. It comes in the form of an equivalence…
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k. In a recent paper, Bate, Martin, R\"ohrle and Tange show that every (smooth) subgroup of G is separable provided that the characteristic of k is very good…
Perturbative renormalization group theory is developed as a unified tool for global asymptotic analysis. With numerous examples, we illustrate its application to ordinary differential equation problems involving multiple scales, boundary…
A Diophantine $m$-tuple with elements in the field $K$ is a set of $m$ non-zero (distinct) elements of $K$ with the property that the product of any two distinct elements is one less than a square in $K$. Let $X: (x^2-1)(y^2-1)(z^2-1)=k^2,$…
We establish the existence of Springer isomorphisms for reductive group schemes over general base schemes. For this, we first study centralizers of fiberwise regular sections of reductive group schemes, and we establish their flatness in…
