ALGORITHMS IN LINEAR ALGEBRAIC GROUPS SUSHIL BHUNIA, AYAN MAHALANOBIS, PRALHAD SHINDE, AND ANUPAM SINGH ABSTRACT. This paper presents some algorithms in linear algebraic groups. These algorithms solve the word problem and compute the spinor norm for orthogonal groups. This gives us an algorithmic definition of the spinor norm. We compute the double coset decompositionwith respect to a Siegel maximal parabolic subgroup, which is important in computing infinite-dimensional representations for some algebraic groups. 1. INTRODUCTION Spinor norm was first defined by Dieudonné and Kneser using Clifford algebras. Wall [21] defined the spinor norm using bilinear forms. These days, to compute the spinor norm, one uses the definition of Wall. In this paper, we develop a new definition of the spinor norm for split and twisted orthogonal groups. Our definition of the spinornorm is rich in the sense, that itis algorithmic in nature. Now one can compute spinor norm using a Gaussian elimination algorithm that we develop in this paper. This paper can be seen as an extension of our earlier work in the book chapter [3], where we described Gaussian elimination algorithms for orthogonal and symplectic groups in the context of public key cryptography. In computational group theory, one always looks for algorithms to solve the word problem. For a group G defined by a set of generators hXi = G, the problem is to write g ∈ G as a word in X: we say that this is the word problem for G (for details, see [18, Section 1.4]). Brooksbank [4] and Costi [10] developed algorithms similar to ours for classical groups over finite fields. -
Finite Resolutions of Modules for Reductive Algebraic Groups
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA I@473488 (1986) Finite Resolutions of Modules for Reductive Algebraic Groups S. DONKIN School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary College, Mile End Road, London El 4NS, England Communicafed by D. A. Buchsbaum Received January 22, 1985 INTRODUCTION A popular theme in recent work of Akin and Buchsbaum is the construc- tion of a finite left resolution of a suitable G&-module M by modules which are required to be direct sums of tensor products of exterior powers of the natural representation. In particular, in [Z, 31, for partitions 1 and p, resolutions are constructed for the modules L,(F) and L,,,(F) (the Schur functor corresponding to 1 and the skew Schur functor corresponding to (A, p), evaluated at F), where F is a free module over a field or the integers. The purpose of this paper is to characterise the GL,-modules which admit such a resolution as those modules which have a filtration in which each successivequotient has the form L,(F) for some partition p. By contrast with [2,3] we do not produce resolutions explicitly. Our methods are independent of those of Akin and Buchsbaum (we give a new proof of their result on the existence of a resolution for L,(F)) and are algebraic group theoretic in nature. We have therefore cast our main result (the theorem of Section 1) as a statement about resolutions for reductive algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field. -
The General Linear Group
18.704 Gabe Cunningham 2/18/05 [email protected] The General Linear Group Definition: Let F be a field. Then the general linear group GLn(F ) is the group of invert- ible n × n matrices with entries in F under matrix multiplication. It is easy to see that GLn(F ) is, in fact, a group: matrix multiplication is associative; the identity element is In, the n × n matrix with 1’s along the main diagonal and 0’s everywhere else; and the matrices are invertible by choice. It’s not immediately clear whether GLn(F ) has infinitely many elements when F does. However, such is the case. Let a ∈ F , a 6= 0. −1 Then a · In is an invertible n × n matrix with inverse a · In. In fact, the set of all such × matrices forms a subgroup of GLn(F ) that is isomorphic to F = F \{0}. It is clear that if F is a finite field, then GLn(F ) has only finitely many elements. An interesting question to ask is how many elements it has. Before addressing that question fully, let’s look at some examples. ∼ × Example 1: Let n = 1. Then GLn(Fq) = Fq , which has q − 1 elements. a b Example 2: Let n = 2; let M = ( c d ). Then for M to be invertible, it is necessary and sufficient that ad 6= bc. If a, b, c, and d are all nonzero, then we can fix a, b, and c arbitrarily, and d can be anything but a−1bc. This gives us (q − 1)3(q − 2) matrices. -
Unitary Group - Wikipedia
Unitary group - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_group Unitary group In mathematics, the unitary group of degree n, denoted U( n), is the group of n × n unitary matrices, with the group operation of matrix multiplication. The unitary group is a subgroup of the general linear group GL( n, C). Hyperorthogonal group is an archaic name for the unitary group, especially over finite fields. For the group of unitary matrices with determinant 1, see Special unitary group. In the simple case n = 1, the group U(1) corresponds to the circle group, consisting of all complex numbers with absolute value 1 under multiplication. All the unitary groups contain copies of this group. The unitary group U( n) is a real Lie group of dimension n2. The Lie algebra of U( n) consists of n × n skew-Hermitian matrices, with the Lie bracket given by the commutator. The general unitary group (also called the group of unitary similitudes ) consists of all matrices A such that A∗A is a nonzero multiple of the identity matrix, and is just the product of the unitary group with the group of all positive multiples of the identity matrix.

Some Finiteness Results for Groups of Automorphisms of Manifolds 3
SOME FINITENESS RESULTS FOR GROUPS OF AUTOMORPHISMS OF MANIFOLDS ALEXANDER KUPERS Abstract. We prove that in dimension =6 4, 5, 7 the homology and homotopy groups of the classifying space of the topological group of diffeomorphisms of a disk fixing the boundary are finitely generated in each degree. The proof uses homological stability, embedding calculus and the arithmeticity of mapping class groups. From this we deduce similar results for the homeomorphisms of Rn and various types of automorphisms of 2-connected manifolds. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

Introduction Inspired by work of Weiss on Pontryagin classes of topological manifolds [Wei15], we use several recent advances in the study of high-dimensional manifolds to prove a structural result about diffeomorphism groups. We prove the classifying spaces of such groups are often “small” in one of the following two algebro-topological senses: Definition 1.1. Let X be a path-connected space. arXiv:1612.09475v3 [math.AT] 1 Sep 2019 · X is said to be of homologically finite type if for all Z[π1(X)]-modules M that are finitely generated as abelian groups, H∗(X; M) is finitely generated in each degree. · X is said to be of finite type if π1(X) is finite and πi(X) is finitely generated for i ≥ 2. Being of finite type implies being of homologically finite type, see Lemma 2.15. Date: September 4, 2019. Alexander Kupers was partially supported by a William R. -
The Classical Groups and Domains 1. the Disk, Upper Half-Plane, SL 2(R
(June 8, 2018) The Classical Groups and Domains Paul Garrett [email protected] http:=/www.math.umn.edu/egarrett/ The complex unit disk D = fz 2 C : jzj < 1g has four families of generalizations to bounded open subsets in Cn with groups acting transitively upon them. Such domains, defined more precisely below, are bounded symmetric domains. First, we recall some standard facts about the unit disk, the upper half-plane, the ambient complex projective line, and corresponding groups acting by linear fractional (M¨obius)transformations. Happily, many of the higher- dimensional bounded symmetric domains behave in a manner that is a simple extension of this simplest case. 1. The disk, upper half-plane, SL2(R), and U(1; 1) 2.

Semigroups and Monoids
S Luis Alonso-Ovalle // Contents Subgroups Semigroups and monoids Subgroups Groups. A group G is an algebra consisting of a set G and a single binary operation ◦ satisfying the following axioms: . ◦ is completely defined and G is closed under ◦. ◦ is associative. G contains an identity element. Each element in G has an inverse element. Subgroups. We define a subgroup G0 as a subalgebra of G which is itself a group. Examples: . The group of even integers with addition is a proper subgroup of the group of all integers with addition. The group of all rotations of the square h{I, R, R0, R00}, ◦i, where ◦ is the composition of the operations is a subgroup of the group of all symmetries of the square. Some non-subgroups: SEMIGROUPS AND MONOIDS . The system h{I, R, R0}, ◦i is not a subgroup (and not even a subalgebra) of the original group. Why? (Hint: ◦ closure). The set of all non-negative integers with addition is a subalgebra of the group of all integers with addition, because the non-negative integers are closed under addition. But it is not a subgroup because it is not itself a group: it is associative and has a zero, but . does any member (except for ) have an inverse? Order. The order of any group G is the number of members in the set G. The order of any subgroup exactly divides the order of the parental group. E.g.: only subgroups of order , , and are possible for a -member group. (The theorem does not guarantee that every subset having the proper number of members will give rise to a subgroup. -

Underlying Varieties and Group Structures 3
UNDERLYING VARIETIES AND GROUP STRUCTURES VLADIMIR L. POPOV Abstract. Starting with exploration of the possibility to present the underlying variety of an affine algebraic group in the form of a product of some algebraic varieties, we then explore the naturally arising problem as to what extent the group variety of an algebraic group determines its group structure. 1. Introduction. This paper arose from a short preprint [16] and is its extensive extension. As starting point of [14] served the question of B. Kunyavsky [10] about the validity of the statement, which is for- mulated below as Corollary of Theorem 1. This statement concerns the possibility to present the underlying variety of a connected reductive algebraic group in the form of a product of some special algebraic va- rieties. Sections 2, 3 make up the content of [16], where the possibility of such presentations is explored. For some of them, in Theorem 1 is proved their existence, and in Theorems 2–5, on the contrary, their non-existence. Theorem 1 shows that there are non-isomorphic reductive groups whose underlying varieties are isomorphic. In Sections 4–10, we explore the problem, naturally arising in connection with this, as to what ex- tent the underlying variety of an algebraic group determines its group structure. In Theorems 6–8, it is shown that some group properties (dimension of unipotent radical, reductivity, solvability, unipotency, arXiv:2105.12861v1 [math.AG] 26 May 2021 toroidality in the sense of Rosenlicht) are equivalent to certain geomet- ric properties of the underlying group variety. Theorem 8 generalizes to solvable groups M. -
Countable Torsion-Free Abelian Groups
COUNTABLE TORSION-FREE ABELIAN GROUPS By M. O'N. CAMPBELL [Received 27 January 1959.—Read 19 February 1959] Introduction IN this paper we present a new classification of the countable torsion-free abelian groups. Since any abelian group 0 may be regarded as an extension of a periodic group (namely the torsion part of G) by a torsion-free group, and since there exists the well-known complete classification of the count- able periodic abelian groups due to Ulm, it is clear that the classification problem studied here is of great interest. By a group we shall always mean an abelian group, and the additive notation will be employed throughout. It is well known that all the maximal linearly independent sets of elements of a given group are car- dinally equivalent; the corresponding cardinal number is the rank of the group. Derry (2) and Mal'cev (4) have studied the torsion-free groups of finite rank only, and have given classifications of these groups in terms of certain equivalence classes of systems of matrices with £>-adic elements. Szekeres (5) attempted to abolish the finiteness restriction on rank; he extracted certain invariants, but did not derive a complete classification. By a basis of a torsion-free group 0 we mean any maximal linearly independent subset of G. A subgroup generated by a basis of G will be called a basal subgroup or described as basal in G. Thus U is a basal sub- group of G if and only if (i) U is free abelian, and (ii) the factor group G/U is periodic. -

1:34 p.m. April 11, 2013 Red.tex The structure of reductive groups Bill Casselman University of British Columbia, Vancouver [email protected] An algebraic group defined over F is an algebraic variety G with group operations specified in algebraic terms. For example, the group GLn is the subvariety of (n + 1) × (n + 1) matrices A 0 0 a with determinant det(A) a = 1. The matrix entries are well behaved functions on the group, here for 1 example a = det− (A). The formulas for matrix multiplication are certainly algebraic, and the inverse of a matrix A is its transpose adjoint times the inverse of its determinant, which are both algebraic. Formally, this means that we are given (a) an F •rational multiplication map G × G −→ G; (b) an F •rational inverse map G −→ G; (c) an identity element—i.e. an F •rational point of G. I’ll look only at affine algebraic groups (as opposed, say, to elliptic curves, which are projective varieties). In this case, the variety G is completely characterized by its affine ring AF [G], and the data above are respectively equivalent to the specification of (a’) an F •homomorphism AF [G] −→ AF [G] ⊗F AF [G]; (b’) an F •involution AF [G] −→ AF [G]; (c’) a distinguished homomorphism AF [G] −→ F . The first map expresses a coordinate in the product in terms of the coordinates of its terms. For example, in the case of GLn it takes xik −→ xij ⊗ xjk . j In addition, these data are subject to the group axioms. I’ll not say anything about the general theory of such groups, but I should say that in practice the specification of an algebraic group is often indirect—as a subgroup or quotient, say, of another simpler one.
