AbstractAssume T is a superstable theory with < 2ℵ0 countable models. We prove that any *- algebraic type of -rank > 0 is m-nonorthogonal to a *-algebraic type of -rank 1. We study the geometry induced by m-dependence on a *-algebraic type p* of -rank 1. We prove that after some localization this geometry becomes projective over a division ring . Associated with p* is a meager type p. We prove that p is determined by p* up to nonorthogonality and that underlies also the geometry induced by forking dependence on any stationarization of p. Also we study some *-algebraic *-groups of -rank 1 and prove that any *-algebraic *-group of -rank 1 is abelian-by-finite.

In this paper, we extend the notion of Shintani descent to general (possibly disconnected) algebraic groups defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. For this, it is essential to treat all the pure inner $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational forms of the algebraic group at the same time. We prove that the notion of almost characters (introduced by Shoji using Shintani descent) is well defined for any neutrally unipotent algebraic group, i.e. an algebraic group whose neutral connected component is a unipotent group. We also prove that these almost characters coincide with the ‘trace of Frobenius’ functions associated with Frobenius-stable character sheaves on neutrally unipotent groups. In the course of the proof, we also prove that the modular categories that arise from Boyarchenko and Drinfeld’s theory of character sheaves on neutrally unipotent groups are in fact positive integral, confirming a conjecture due to Drinfeld.

AbstractWe call an algebraic group monothetic if it possesses a dense cyclic subgroup. For an arbitrary field k we describe the structure of all, not necessarily affine, monothetic k-groups G and determine in which cases G has a k-rational generator.

Our purpose here is to study the irreducible representations of semisimple algebraic groups of characteristic p 0, in particular the rational representations, and to determine all of the representations of corresponding finite simple groups. (Each algebraic group is assumed to be defined over a universal field which is algebraically closed and of infinite degree of transcendence over the prime field, and all of its representations are assumed to take place on vector spaces over this field.)

Let K be any field, and L a separable extension of K of finite degree. L has a structure of vector space over K, and we shall denote this space by V. The space of endomorphisms of V will be denoted by Let x be any element of L, and N(x) the norm of x relative to the extension L/K. N is then a function defined on V with values in K. We shall call N the norm form on V. The multiplicative groups of non-zero elements of K and L will be denoted by K* and L* respectively. Let H be any subgroup of if K*. Then the elements z of L* such that N(z)∈H form a subgroup of L*, which we shall denote by GH. On the other hand the elements s of such that N(sx) = Λ(s)N(x) with Λ(s)∈H for all X∈V, form obviously a subgroup of GL(V), which we shall denote by becomes an algebraic group if H=K* or {1}. In case will mean the group of linear transformations of V leaving semi-invariant the norm form of L/K and in case will mean the group of linear transformations of V leaving invariant the norm form of L/K.

LetGbe a simple adjoint algebraic group over an algebraically closed fieldK. We are concerned to describe the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements ofG. Goperates on its Lie algebra g by means of the adjoint action and we may consider classes of nilpotent elements of g under this action. It has been shown by Springer (11) that there is a bijection between the unipotent elements ofGand the nilpotent elements ofgwhich preserves theG-action, provided that the characteristic ofKis either 0 or a ‘good prime’ forG. Thus we may concentrate on the problem of classifying the nilpotent elements of g under the adjointG-action.

We prove that the standard motives of a semisimple algebraic group$G$with coefficients in a field of order$p$are determined by the upper motives of the group $G$. As a consequence of this result, we obtain a partial version of the motivic rigidity conjecture of special linear groups. The result is then used to construct the higher indexes which characterize the motivic equivalence of semisimple algebraic groups. The criteria of motivic equivalence derived from the expressions of these indexes produce a dictionary between motives, algebraic structures and the birational geometry of twisted flag varieties. This correspondence is then described for special linear groups and orthogonal groups (the criteria associated with other groups being obtained in De Clercq and Garibaldi [Tits$p$-indexes of semisimple algebraic groups, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2)95(2017) 567–585]). The proofs rely on the Levi-type motivic decompositions of isotropic twisted flag varieties due to Chernousov, Gille and Merkurjev, and on the notion of pondered field extensions.

Given a locally finite leafless tree $T$, various algebraic groups over local fields might appear as closed subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. We show that the set of closed cocompact subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ that are isomorphic to a quasi-split simple algebraic group is a closed subset of the Chabauty space of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$. This is done via a study of the integral Bruhat–Tits model of $\operatorname{SL}_{2}$ and $\operatorname{SU}_{3}^{L/K}$, that we carry on over arbitrary local fields, without any restriction on the (residue) characteristic. In particular, we show that in residue characteristic $2$, the Tits index of simple algebraic subgroups of $\operatorname{Aut}(T)$ is not always preserved under Chabauty limits.

Let [Formula: see text] be the group of [Formula: see text]-torsion points of a commutative algebraic group [Formula: see text] defined over a number field [Formula: see text]. For a prime [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], we let [Formula: see text] be the number of [Formula: see text]-solutions of the system of polynomial equations defining [Formula: see text] when reduced modulo [Formula: see text]. Here, [Formula: see text] is the residue field at [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] denote the number of primes [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. We then, for algebraic groups of dimension one, compute the [Formula: see text]th moment limit [Formula: see text] by appealing to the Chebotarev density theorem. We further interpret this limit as the number of orbits of the action of the absolute Galois group of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] copies of [Formula: see text] by an application of Burnside’s Lemma. These concrete examples suggest a possible approach for determining the number of orbits of a group acting on [Formula: see text] copies of a set.

AbstractIn this paper we study the transcendence degree of fields generated over Q by the numbers associated with values of one-parameter subgroups of commutative algebraic groups. We show that in many instances these fields have a large transcendence degree when measured in terms of the available data.Our method deals with points which are “well distributed” (in a sense which is made precise) among certain algebraic subgroups of the algebraic group under consideration. We verify that these results apply in many classical situations.

AbstractAbstract Let G be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field 𝕜 acting rationally on a G-module V with its null-cone. Let δ(G, V) and σ(G, V) denote the minimal number d such that for every and , respectively, there exists a homogeneous invariant f of positive degree at most d such that f(v) ≠ 0. Then δ(G) and σ(G) denote the supremum of these numbers taken over all G-modules V. For positive characteristics, we show that δ(G) = ∞ for any subgroup G of GL2(𝕜) that contains an infinite unipotent group, and σ(G) is finite if and only if G is finite. In characteristic zero, δ(G) = 1 for any group G, and we show that if σ(G) is finite, then G0 is unipotent. Our results also lead to a more elementary proof that βsep(G) is finite if and only if G is finite.
