Let K be any field and G be a finite group. We will prove that, if K is any field, p an odd prime number, and G is a non-abelian group of exponent p with |G|=p^3 or p^4 satisfying [K(\zeta_p):K] <= 2, then K(G) is rational over K. We will…

Two theorems witnessing the abundance of geometrically trivial strongly minimal autonomous differential equations of arbitrary order are shown. The first one states that a generic algebraic vector field of degree $d\geq 2$ on the affine…

Let G be the group of F-points of a reductive group defined over F, $\sigma$ a rational involution of this group defined over F and H the group of fixed points of $\sigma$ . We built rational families of H-fixed vectors in the dual of…

This paper is an introduction to polarizations in the symplectic and orthogonal settings. They arise in association to a triple of compatible structures on a real vector space, consisting of an inner product, a symplectic form, and a…

We introduce the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_2(G, \sigma)$ associated to a Lie subgroup $G$ of a (possibly noncommutative) associative algebra $A$ equipped with an anti-involution $\sigma$. Our construction recovers several classical Lie…

We study representations of groups by "affine" automorphisms of compact, convex spaces, with special focus on "irreducible" representations: equivalently "minimal" actions. When the group in question is PSL(2,R), we exhibit a one-one…

Degree bounds for algebra generators of invariant rings are a topic of longstanding interest in invariant theory. We study the analogous question for field generators for the field of rational invariants of a representation of a finite…

We introduce horizontal and vertical motivic invariants of birational maps between rational dominant maps and study their basic properties. As a first application, we show that the (usual) motivic invariants vanish for birational…

Let m be an integer greater than 2 and let V be a vector space of dimension 2^m over F_2. Let Q be a non-degenerate quadratic form of maximal Witt index defined on V. We show that the symmetric group S_{2m+1} acts on V as a group of…

This is the first of two articles aiming to introduce symplectic spinors into the field of symplectic topology and the subject of Frobenius structures. After exhibiting a (tentative) axiomating setting for Frobenius structures resp. 'Higgs…

In two previous papers we showed that any analytically integrable vector field admits a local analytic Poincar\'e-Birkhoff normalization in the neighborhood of a singular point. The aim of this paper is to extend this analytic normalization…

An orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra becoming isotropic over any splitting field of the algebra, becomes isotropic over a finite odd degree extension of the base field (provided that the characteristic of the base field is…

We prove a slope 1 stability range for the homology of the symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups with respect to the hyperbolic form, over any fields other than $F_2$, improving the known range by a factor 2 in the case of finite…

Orthogonal rational functions (ORF) on the unit circle generalize orthogonal polynomials (poles at infinity) and Laurent polynomials (poles at zero and infinity). In this paper we investigate the properties of and the relation between these…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ stand for the finite field of odd characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements ($q=p^{n},n\in \mathbb{N} $) and $\mathbb{F}_q^*$ denote the set of all the nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $m$ and $t$ be positive…

Let G be a linear algebraic group over a field F and X be a projective homogeneous G-variety such that G splits over the function field of X. In the present paper we introduce an invariant of G called J-invariant which characterizes the…

We show that two ordinary isogenous elliptic curves have isomorphic groups of rational points if they have the same $j$-invariant and we extend this result to certain isogenous supersingular elliptic curves, namely those with equal…

The general linear group acts on the space of several linear maps on the vector space as the basis change. Similarly, we have the actions of the orthogonal and symplectic groups. Generators and identities for the corresponding polynomial…
