Let $C$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q(C)$. Given a semisimple $C-S$-group scheme $\underline{G}$ where $S$ is a finite set of closed points of $C$, we describe the set of…

Let G be an almost simple reductive group with Weyl group W. Let B be a Borel subgroup of G. Let C be an elliptic conjugacy class in W and let w be an element of minimal length of C. We investigate the existence of a semisimple class of G…

A group G is almost cyclic if there is an element x in G, such that for all g in G, there is an element y in G and an integer n with ygy^{-1} = x^n (that is, every element is conjugate to some power of x). W. Ziller asked whether there are…

We study infinite groups interpretable in power bounded $T$-convex, $V$-minimal or $p$-adically closed fields. We show that if $G$ is an interpretable definably semisimple group (i.e., has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups)…

We determine subnormalisers of semisimple elements of prime power order in finite quasi-simple groups of Lie type. For this, we determine the maximal overgroups of normalisers of Sylow tori. This is motivated by the recent character…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H'$ of $G$; one…

We study varieties of semigroups related to completely 0-simple semigroup. We present here an algorithmic descriptions of these varieties in terms of "forbidden" semigroups. We also describe residually completely 0-simple varieties of…

Given a semisimple element in the loop Lie algebra of a reductive group, we construct a quasi-coherent sheaf on a partial resolution of the trigonometric commuting variety of the Langlands dual group. The construction uses affine Springer…

We investigate the class of quasitrivial semigroups and provide various characterizations of the subclass of quasitrivial and commutative semigroups as well as the subclass of quasitrivial and order-preserving semigroups. We also determine…

By a quasi-connected reductive group (a term of Labesse) over an arbitrary field we mean an almost direct product of a connected semisimple group and a quasi-torus (a smooth group of multiplicative type). We show that a linear algebraic…

The study of finite subgroups of a simple algebraic group $G$ reduces in a sense to those which are almost simple. If an almost simple subgroup of $G$ has a socle which is not isomorphic to a group of Lie type in the underlying…

We explore the combination theorem for a group G splitting as a graph of relatively hyperbolic groups. Using the fine graph approach to relative hyperbolicity, we find short proofs of the relative hyperbolicity of G under certain…

Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group with trivial centre and no compact factors. Given a conjugate pair of either real hyperbolic elements or unipotent elements $a$ and $b$ in $G$ we find a conjugating element $g \in G$ such that…

We define quasi-Frobenius semigroups and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semigroup algebra of a 0-cancellative semigroup is quasi-Frobenius.

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of order $rs$…

We show that if G is an anisotropic, semisimple, absolutely almost simple, simply connected group over a field k, then two elements of G over any field extension of k are R-equivalent if and only if they are A^1-equivalent. As a…

We study analogues of the notions from Lie theory of Levi subgroup and Levi decomposition, in the case of groups G definable in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. With suitable definitions, we prove that G has a unique maximal…

Given a positive integer $u$ and a simple algebraic group $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p$, we derive properties about the subvariety $G_{[u]}$ of $G$ consisting of elements of $G$ of order dividing…

The main aim of this work is to introduce and justify the study of semi-covarities. A {\it semi-covariety} is a non-empty family $\mathcal{F}$ of numerical semigroups such that it is closed under finite intersections, has a minimum,…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for each $g$ in $G$ the centralizer $C_G(g)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. Given a…
