In this paper we explore the isotropic stable motivic homotopy category constructed from the usual stable motivic homotopy category, following the work of Vishik on isotropic motives (see [29]), by killing anisotropic varieties. In…

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive algeraic group whose Dynkin diagram contains no components of type $G_2,$ $F_4,$ $E_6,$ $E_7$ or $E_8.$ That is, all the components are of classical type. Suppose $X$ is an affine variety, and suppose $G$…

We prove that the C*-algebra of a second-countable, \'etale, amenable groupoid is simple if and only if the groupoid is topologically principal and minimal. We also show that if G has totally disconnected unit space, then the associated…

We give an alternative proof of Faltings's theorem (Mordell's conjecture): a curve of genus at least two over a number field has finitely many rational points. Our argument utilizes the set-up of Faltings's original proof, but is in spirit…

We show that a differential algebraic group can be filtered by a finite subnormal series of differential algebraic groups such that successive quotients are almost simple, that is have no normal subgroups of the same type. We give a…

A group is SimpHAtic if it acts geometrically on a simply connected simplicially hereditarily aspherical (SimpHAtic) complex. We show that finitely presented normal subgroups of the SimpHAtic groups are either: finite, or of finite index,…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

We calculate the rational representation-ring-graded stable stems for rank 1 groups, SU(2), SO(3), Pin (2), O(2), Spin(2) and SO(2), in the same spirit as the calculations for finite groups in arXiv:2205.02382 with J.D.Quigley. This…

The celebrated Borel--Tits theorem provides a classification of abstract isomorphisms between (simple) isotropic groups over fields, showing that such isomorphisms arise from field isomorphisms and group-scheme isomorphisms. In this work,…

We study the orthogonal quantum groups satisfying the ``easiness'' assumption axiomatized in our previous paper, with the construction of some new examples, and with some partial classification results. The conjectural conclusion is that…

We describe the structure of quasiflats in two-dimensio\-nal Artin groups. We rely on the notion of metric systolicity developed in our previous work. Using this weak form of non-positive curvature and analyzing in details the combinatorics…

We prove that the group of homotopy classes of relative homotopy automorphisms of a simply connected finite CW-complex is finitely presented and that the rationalization map from this group to its rational analogue has a finite kernel.

Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…

A rational triangle is a triangle with rational side lengths. We consider three different families of rational triangles having a fixed side and whose vertices are rational points in the plane. We display a one-to-one correspondence between…

We give a soft geometric proof of the classical result due to Conn stating that a Poisson structure is linearizable around a singular point (zero) at which the isotropy Lie algebra is compact and semisimple.

We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

This is a survey of two papers joint with A. Borisov and a paper joint with I. Spakulova. It is based on my lectures at the conference "Groups St. Andrews 2009", Bath (August 2009). We prove that almost all 1-related groups with at least 3…

A finite group $G$ is called uniformly semi-rational if there exists an integer $r$ such that the generators of every cyclic sugroup $\langle x \rangle$ of $G$ lie in at most two conjugacy classes, namely $x^G$ or $(x^r)^G$. In this paper,…

We prove the existence of certain rationally rigid triples E8 in good characteristic and thereby show that these groups over the prime field occur as Galois groups over the field of rational numbers. We show that these triples give rise to…
