Let $G$ denote the projective special linear group $\text{PSL}(2,q)$, for a prime power $q$. It is shown that a finite 2-subgroup of the group $V(\mathbb{Z}G)$ of augmentation 1 units in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of $G$ is…

We study quasi-semisimple elements of disconnected reductive algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field. We describe their centralizers, define isolated and quasi-isolated quasi-semisimple elements and classify their conjugacy…

Let $G:=G_2(K)$ be a simple algebraic group of type $G_2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $\sigma$ denote a standard Frobenius automorphism of $G$ such that $G_\sigma\cong G_2(q)$ with $q\geq 4$.…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…

Let $S\subset \text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)\times \text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ or $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)\ltimes \mathbb Z^2$ be finite symmetric and assume $S$ generates a group $G$ which is a Zariski-dense subgroup $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)\times…

The classification of the finite subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathrm{PGL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is a classical problem in the field of finite group theory, dating back to the late 19th century with authors like Klein, Jordan,…

We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL(2,Z[1/n]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid…

We prove that PSL(2,Z[1/p]) gives the first example of groups which are not quasi-isometric to each other but have the same quasi-isometry group. Namely, PSL(2,Z[1/p]) and PSL(2,Z[1/q]) are not quasi-isometric unless p=q, and, independent…

Let $\boldsymbol{G}$ be an algebraic group of exceptional Lie type in characteristic $p$, $G=\boldsymbol{G}^{\sigma}$ its fixed-point subgroup under the action of a Steinberg endomorphism $\sigma$, and $\overline{G}$ an almost simple group…

We establish various results on the structure of approximate subgroups in linear groups such as SL_n(k) that were previously announced by the authors. For example, generalising a result of Helfgott (who handled the cases n = 2 and 3), we…

We determine all finite subgroups of simple algebraic groups that have irreducible centralizers - that is, centralizers whose connected component does not lie in a parabolic subgroup.

We study the minimal unitary representations of non-compact groups and supergroups obtained by quantization of their geometric realizations as quasi-conformal groups and supergroups. The quasi-conformal groups G leave generalized…

We give several equivalent characterisations of the maximal pro-2 quotients of real projective groups. In particular, for pro-2 real projective groups we provide a presentation in terms of generators and relations, and a purely…

Let $M$ be a maximal subgroup of a finite group $G$ and $K/L$ be a chief factor such that $L\leq M$ while $K\nsubseteq M$. We call the group $M\cap K/L$ a $c$\ns section of $M$. And we define $Sec(M)$ to be the abstract group that is…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. We describe and classify finite, flat, and linearly reductive subgroup schemes of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over $\mathrm{Spec}\:\mathcal{O}_K$. We also establish finiteness results for…

The article contains a survey of our results on weakly commensurable arithmetic and general Zariski-dense subgroups, length-commensurable and isospectral locally symmetric spaces and of related problems in the theory of semi-simple agebraic…

If a finite quasisimple group G with simple quotient S is embedded into a suitable classical group X through the smallest degree of a projective representation of S, then the normalizer of G in X is a maximal subgroup of X, up to two series…

This work was inspired by two natural questions. The first question is when Lie(G')=Lie(G)', where G is a connected algebraic supergroup defined over a field of characteristic zero. The second question is whether the unipotent radical of…

We study those $(2,m,n)$-groups which are almost simple and for which the absolute value of the Euler characteristic is a product of two prime powers. All such groups which are not isomorphic to $PSL_2(q)$ or $PGL_2(q)$ are completely…

In the spirit of peripheral subgroups in relatively hyperbolic groups, we exhibit a simple class of quasi-isometrically rigid subgroups in graph products of finite groups, which we call eccentric subgroups. As an application, we prove that,…
