Group Actions On Dendrites And Curves

We establish obstructions for groups to act by homeomorphisms on dendrites. For instance, lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups will always fix a point or a pair. The same holds for irreducible lattices in products of connected groups. Further results ...

Irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups in which a unipotent element is represented by a matrix with a single non-trivial Jordan block

Donna Testerman

Let G be a simply connected simple linear algebraic group of exceptional Lie type over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p >= 0, and let u is an element of G be a non-identity unipotent element. Let phi be a non-trivial irreducible represen ...

Cellular Covers of Local Groups

Jérôme Scherer

We prove that, in the category of groups, the composition of a cellularization and a localization functor need not be idempotent. This provides a negative answer to a question of Emmanuel Dror Farjoun. ...

Variations on a theme by Higman

Nicolas Monod

We propose elementary and explicit presentations of groups that have no amenable quotients and yet are SQ-universal. Examples include groups with a finite K (pi,1), no Kazhdan subgroups and no Haagerup quotients. ...
