We determine the structure of the semisimple group algebra of certain groups over the rationals and over those finite fields where the Wedderburn decompositions have the least number of simple components. We apply our work to obtain similar…

Rational double points are the simplest surface singularities. In this essay we will be mainly concerned with the geometry of the exceptional set corresponding to the resolution of a rational double point. We will derive the classification…

Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that…

The present paper analyzes the discrepancy of distribution of rational points on general semisimple algebraic group varieties. The results include mean-square, almost sure, and uniform discrepancy estimates with explicit error bounds, which…

We study atomic right-angled Artin groups -- those whose defining graph has no cycles of length less than five, and no separating vertices, separating edges, or separating vertex stars. We show that these groups are not quasi-isometrically…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

We classify the rational differential 1-forms with simple poles and simple zeros on the Riemann sphere according to their isotropy group; when the 1-form has exactly two poles the isotropy group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^{*}$, namely…

We give here a simple proof of the centrality of the congruence subgroup kernel in the higher rank isotropic case.

By the famous ADE classification rational double points are simple. Rational triple points are also simple. We conjecture that the simple normal surface singularities are exactly those rational singularities, whose resolution graph can be…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. We present a relationship between simple-minded systems and coherent rings.

We study the collection of group structures that can be realized as a group of rational points on an elliptic curve over a finite field (such groups are well known to be of rank at most two). We also study various subsets of this collection…

We use algebraic arc complexes to prove a homological stability result for symplectic groups with slope 2/3 for rings with finite unitary stable rank. Symplectic groups are here interpreted as the automorphism groups of formed spaces with…

In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups…

We call a simplicial complex algebraically rigid if its Stanley-Reisner ring admits no nontrivial infinitesimal deformations, and call it inseparable if does not allow any deformation to other simplicial complexes. Algebraically rigid…

We prove the following extension of Tits' simplicity theorem. Let $k$ be an infinite field, $G$ an algebraic group defined and quasi-simple over $k,$ and $G(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points of $G.$ Let $G(k)^+$ be the subgroup of $G(k)$…

We introduce a relaxation of stability, called almost sure stability, which is insensitive to perturbations by subsets of Loeb measure $0$ in a non-standard finite group. We show that almost sure stability satisfies a stationarity principle…

We give a procedure to compute the rational homotopy groups of the group of quasi-unitaries of an AF-algebra. As an application, we show that an AF-algebra is K-stable if and only if it is rationally K-stable.

We describe certain almost-simple algebraic supergroups over an algebraically closed field of odd or zero characteristic. In addition to supergroups with simple Lie superalgebras from Kac's theorem, we construct new supergroups whose Lie…

We describe the primitive central idempotents of the group algebra over a number field of finite monomial groups. We give also a description of the Wedderburn decomposition of the group algebra over a number field for finite strongly…
