Answering a question of A. Rapinchuk, we construct examples of non- isomorphic semisimple algebraic groups H1 and H2 of type G2 with coherently equivalent systems of maximal k-tori.

Given an octonion algebra over a field k, its automorphism group G is an algebraic semisimple k-group of type G_2. We study the maximal tori of G in terms of the algebra C.

We investigate maximal tori in the Hochschild cohomology Lie algebra $HH^1(A)$ of a finite dimensional algebra $A$, and their connection with the fundamental groups associated to presentations of $A$. We prove that every maximal torus in…

We show that two C*-algebraic noncommutative tori are strongly Morita equivalent if and only if they have isomorphic ordered K_0-groups and centers, extending N. C. Phillips's result in the case that the algebras are simple. This is also…

To follow up on the results of [1], we propose a computationally efficient explicit cyclic decomposition of the maximal tori in the groups $SL_n(q)$ and $SU_n(q)$ and their projective images. We also derive some corollaries to simplify…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…

We introduce a unified theory of Cartan subgroups and maximal toroids - defined as connected multiplicative type subgroups that are maximal amongst all such subgroups - which holds for all affine algebraic groups over a field, regardless of…

Let $G$ denote a linear algebraic group over $\mathbf{Q}$ and $K$ and $L$ two number fields. Assume that there is a group isomorphism of points on $G$ over the finite adeles of $K$ and $L$, respectively. We establish conditions on the group…

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…

We determine the number of elements of order two in the group of normalized units V(F_2G) of the group algebra F_2G of a 2-group of maximal class over the field F_2 of two elements. As a consequence for the 2-groups G and H of maximal class…

In this note we give a classification of the Maximal order Abelian subgroups of finite irreducible Coxeter groups. We also prove a Weyl group analogue of Cartan's theorem that all maximal tori in a connected compact Lie group are conjugate.

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. In this paper we study connected simple algebraic groups of type $A_2$, $G_2$ and $F_4$ defined over $k$, via their rank-$2$ $k$-tori. Simple, simply connected groups of type…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type $E_l$ with $l\in\{6,7,8\}$ over $F_q$ and $W$ be the Weyl group of $G$. We describe all maximal tori $T$ of $G$ such that $T$ has a complement in its algebraic normalizer $N(G,T)$. Let $T$ correspond to…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $G$ be a finite $p$-group. We show that the isomorphism type of the maximal abelian direct factor of $G$, as well as the isomorphism type of the group algebra over $\mathbb F_p$ of the non-abelian remaining direct…

If T is an algebraic torus defined over a discretely valued field K with perfect residue field k, we relate the K-cohomology of T to the k-cohomology of certain objects associated to T. When k has cohomological dimension <= 1, our results…

Let (g,[p]) be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra, defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. The scheme of tori of maximal dimension of g gives rise to a finite group S(g) that coincides with the Weyl…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type $E_6$ over $F_q$ (adjoint or simply connected) and $W$ be the Weyl group of $G$. We describe maximal tori $T$ such that $T$ has a complement in its algebraic normalizer $N(G,T)$. It is well known that…

We classify maximal tori in groups of type $F_4$ over a local or global field of characteristic different from $2$ and $3$. We prove a local-global principle for embeddings of maximal tori in groups of type $F_4$.
