<p>In this thesis we focus on identically self-dual matroids and their minors. We show that every sparse paving matroid is a minor of an identically self-dual sparse paving matroid. The same result is true if the property sparse paving is replaced with the property of representability and more specifically, F-representable where F is a field of characteristic 2, an algebraically closed field, or equal to GF(p) for a prime p = 3 (mod 4).  We extend a result of Lindstrom [11] saying that no identically self-dual matroid is regular and simple. We assert that this also applies to all matroids which can be obtained by contracting an identically self-dual matroid.  Finally, we present a characterisation of identically self-dual frame matroids and prove that the class of self-dual matroids is not axiomatisable.</p>

AbstractLet G be a finite group and, for a prime p, let S be a Sylow p-subgroup of G. A character χ of G is called {\mathrm{Syl}_{p}}-regular if the restriction of χ to S is the character of the regular representation of S. If, in addition, χ vanishes at all elements of order divisible by p, χ is said to be Steinberg-like. For every finite simple group G, we determine all primes p for which G admits a Steinberg-like character, except for alternating groups in characteristic 2. Moreover, we determine all primes for which G has a projective FG-module of dimension {\lvert S\rvert}, where F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p.

AbstractWe study the strong simple connectedness of finite-dimensional tame algebras over an algebraically closed field, for which the Auslander–Reiten quiver admits a separating family of almost cyclic coherent components. As the main application we describe all analytically rigid algebras in this class.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. Let K/k be a function field of one variable and L/K be an unramified separable abelian extension of degree pr over K. The galois automorphisms ε1, …, εpr of L/K are naturally extended to automorphisms η(ε1), … , η(εpr) of the jacobian variety JL of L/k. If we take a svstem of p-adic coordinates on JL, we get a representation {Mp(η(εv))} of the galois group G(L/K) of L/K over p-adic integers.

AbstractFor a Lie algebra $L$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of nonzero characteristic, every finite dimensional $L$-module can be decomposed into a direct sum of submodules such that all composition factors of a summand have the same character. Using the concept of a character cluster, this result is generalised to fields which are not algebraically closed. Also, it is shown that if the soluble Lie algebra $L$ is in the saturated formation $\mathfrak{F}$ and if $V, W$ are irreducible $L$-modules with the same cluster and the $p$-operation vanishes on the centre of the $p$-envelope used, then $V, W$ are either both $\mathfrak{F}$-central or both $\mathfrak{F}$-eccentric. Clusters are used to generalise the construction of induced modules.

We give a classification of superattracting germs in dimension $1$ over a complete normed algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of positive characteristic up to conjugacy. In particular, we show that formal and analytic classifications coincide for these germs. We also give a higher-dimensional version of some of these results.

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Let R be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over k. We construct a group stack Ĝ over k, the metaplectic extension of the Greenberg realization of $\operatorname{\mathbb{S}p}_{2n}(R)$. We also construct a geometric analogue of the Weil representation of Ĝ, this is a triangulated category on which Ĝ acts by functors. This triangulated category and the action are geometric in a suitable sense.
