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.

We provide conditions guaranteeing that a given element of a simple algebraic group G has a fixed vector in every nonzero G-module, and deduce similar results for finite Chevalley groups.

AbstractIn this note, we study the relationship between Zariski and relative closedness for actions of (smooth) algebraic groups defined over valued (mainly local) fields of any characteristic. In particular, we use some recent basic results regarding the completely reducible subgroups and cocharacter-closedness due to Bate–Herpel–Röhrle–Tange and Uchiyama to construct some actions of simple algebraic groups G of the types {D_{4}}, {E_{6}}, {E_{7}}, {E_{8}}, {G_{2}} on an affine variety defined over a local function field k, and {v\in V(k)} such that the geometric orbit {G.v} is Zariski closed although the corresponding relative orbit {G(k).v} is not closed in the topology induced from k. Besides, by using an interesting result due to Gabber, Gille and Moret-Bailly, we show that this phenomenon does not appear when we consider the action of either a smooth unipotent group or a smooth commutative algebraic group, defined over an admissible valued (e.g., local) field.

Let G be a connected semi-simple algebraic group defined over Q and let Γ be a discrete subgroup of GR (the subgroup of G consisting of points rational over R) such that Γ\GR is compact. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove that for a certain type of group G there exists an invariant algebraic differential from ω on G of highest degree defined over Q such that

Abstract Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic {p>0} . We consider connected reductive subgroups X of G that contain a given distinguished unipotent element u of G. A result of Testerman and Zalesski [D. Testerman and A. Zalesski, Irreducibility in algebraic groups and regular unipotent elements, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 141 2013, 1, 13–28] shows that if u is a regular unipotent element, then X cannot be contained in a proper parabolic subgroup of G. We generalize their result and show that if u has order p, then except for two known examples which occur in the case {(G,p)=(C_{2},2)} , the subgroup X cannot be contained in a proper parabolic subgroup of G. In the case where u has order {>p} , we also present further examples arising from indecomposable tilting modules with quasi-minuscule highest weight.

Abstract.Given either a simple algebraic group or a finite group of Lie type, of rank at least 2, and a maximal parabolic subgroup, we determine which non-trivial unipotent classes have the property that their intersection with the parabolic subgroup is contained within its unipotent radical. Such classes are rare; listing them provides a basis for inductive arguments.

We consider the rigid monoidal category of character sheaves on a smooth commutative group scheme $G$ over a finite field $k$, and expand the scope of the function-sheaf dictionary from connected commutative algebraic groups to this setting. We find the group of isomorphism classes of character sheaves on $G$, and show that it is an extension of the group of characters of $G(k)$ by a cohomology group determined by the component group scheme of $G$. We also classify all morphisms in the category character sheaves on $G$. As an application, we study character sheaves on Greenberg transforms of locally finite type Néron models of algebraic tori over local fields. This provides a geometrization of quasicharacters of $p$-adic tori.

AbstractLetGbe the simple algebraic group Sp(2,2), to be defined over ℚ. It is a non-quasi-split, ℚ-rank-two inner form of the split symplectic group Sp8of rank four. The cohomology of the space of automorphic forms onGhas a natural subspace, which is spanned by classes represented by residues and derivatives of cuspidal Eisenstein series. It is called Eisenstein cohomology. In this paper we give a detailed description of the Eisenstein cohomologyHqEis(G,E) ofGin the case of regular coefficientsE. It is spanned only by holomorphic Eisenstein series. For non-regular coefficientsEwe really have to detect the poles of our Eisenstein series. SinceGis not quasi-split, we are out of the scope of the so-called ‘Langlands–Shahidi method’ (cf. F. Shahidi,On certainL-functions, Amer. J. Math.103(1981), 297–355; F. Shahidi,On the Ramanujan conjecture and finiteness of poles for certainL-functions, Ann. of Math. (2)127(1988), 547–584). We apply recent results of Grbac in order to find the double poles of Eisenstein series attached to the minimal parabolicP0ofG. Having collected this information, we determine the square-integrable Eisenstein cohomology supported byP0with respect to arbitrary coefficients and prove a vanishing result. This will exemplify a general theorem we prove in this paper on the distribution of maximally residual Eisenstein cohomology classes.

The concept of extending to a topological space X a continuous pseudometric defined on a subspace S of X has been shown to be very useful. This problem was first studied by Hausdorff for the metric case in 1930 [9]. Hausdorff showed that a continuous metric on a closed subset of a metric space can be extended to a continuous metric on the whole space. Bing [4] and Arens [3] rediscovered this result independently. Recently, Shapiro [15] and Alo and Shapiro [1] studied various embeddings. It has been shown that extending pseudometrics can be characterized in terms of extending refinements of various types of open covers. In this paper we continue our study of extending pseudometrics. First we show that extending pseudometrics can be characterized in terms of σ-locally finite and σ-discrete covers. We then investigate when can certain types of covers be extended.

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.
