We present a diagram surveying equivalence or strict implication for properties of different nature (algebraic, model theoretic, topological, etc.) about groups definable in o-minimal structures. All results are well-known and an extensive…

We establish the first global results for groups definable in tame expansions of o-minimal structures. Let $\mathcal N$ be an expansion of an o-minimal structure $\mathcal M$ that admits a good dimension theory. The setting includes dense…

Let $\F$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $\V$ be a vector space equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric or symplectic bilinear form $B$ over $\F$. Suppose the characteristic of $\F$ is \emph{large}, i.e. either zero or greater than…

Let $R$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $F$ graded by an arbitrary group $G$. We prove that $R$ is a graded division algebra if and only if it is isomorphic to a twisted group algebra of some finite…

In this paper we prove some results related to the problem of isomorphically classifying the complemented subspaces of $X_{p}$. We characterize the complemented subspaces of $X_{p}$ which are isomorphic to $X_{p}$ by showing that such a…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of exceptional type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. This paper continues a long-standing effort to classify the connected reductive subgroups of $G$. Having previously…

Let $K$ be a non-archimedean local field with residue field of characteristic $p$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a two-generator subgroup $G$ of ${\rm PSL_2}(K)$ to be discrete, where either $K=\mathbb{Q}_p$ or $G$…

We give a general criterion for the (bounded) simplicity of the automorphism groups of certain countable structures and apply it to show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space modulo the normal subgroup of bounded isometries is a…

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. For each prime $p$ and positive integer $c$, we prove the existence of a capable $p$-group of class $c$ minimally generated by an element of order $p$ and an element of order…

A connected linear algebraic group G is called a Cayley group if the Lie algebra of G endowed with the adjoint G-action and the group variety of G endowed with the conjugation G-action are birationally G-isomorphic. In particular, the…

A covering of a group is a finite set of proper subgroups whose union is the whole group. A covering is minimal if there is no covering of smaller cardinality, and it is nilpotent if all its members are nilpotent subgroups. We complete a…

We first show that every group-theoretical category is graded by a certain double coset ring. As a consequence, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a group-theoretical category to be nilpotent. We then give an explicit…

Consider an absolutely simple abelian variety X over a number field K. If the absolute endomorphism ring of X is commutative and satisfies certain parity conditions, then the reduction X_p is absolutely simple for almost all p. Conversely,…

In this paper we define a pair of faithful functors that map isomorphic and isotopic finite-dimensional algebras over finite fields to isomorphic graphs. These functors reduce the cost of computation that is usually required to determine…

The aim of this paper is to develop the theory of groups definable in the $p$-adic field ${\mathbb Q}_p$, with ``definable $f$-generics" in the sense of an ambient saturated elementary extension of ${\mathbb Q}_p$. We call such groups…

A polynomial of degree $\ge 2$ with coefficients in the ring of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is studied as a dynamical system on $\mathbb{Z}_p$. It is proved that the dynamical behavior of such a system is totally described by its…

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a field of characteristic $p > 0$. We prove that the dual Weyl modules for $G$ all have $p$-filtrations when $p$ is not too small. Moreover, we give applications of this theorem to…

We consider the group isomorphism problem: given two finite groups G and H specified by their multiplication tables, decide if G and H are isomorphic. The n^(log n) barrier for group isomorphism has withstood all attacks --- even for the…

Marker and Steinhorn shown that given two models $M\prec N$ of an o-minimal theory, if all 1-types over $M$ realized in $N$ are definable, then all types over $M$ realized in $N$ are definable. In this article we characterize pairs of…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For some fixed prime $p$, let $\Gamma_p(G)$ be the common divisor graph built on the set of sizes of $p$-regular conjugacy classes of $G$: this is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the class sizes of…
