Transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups - applications to generic Zariski density

Richard Aoun (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups. In particular, we show that a “non elementary” random walk in S L 2 ( ) escapes exponentially fast from every proper algebraic subvariety. We also treat the case where the random walk takes place in the real points of a semisimple split algebraic group and show such a result for a wide family of random walks.As an application, we prove that generic subgroups (in some sense) of linear groups are Zariski dense.

Troesch complexes and extensions of strict polynomial functors

Antoine Touzé (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We develop a new approach of extension calculus in the category of strict polynomial functors, based on Troesch complexes. We obtain new short elementary proofs of numerous classical Ext -computations as well as new results. In particular, we get a cohomological version of the “fundamental theorems” from classical invariant theory for  G L n for  n big enough (and we give a conjecture for smaller values of  n ). We also study the “twisting spectral sequence” E s , t ( F , G , r ) converging to the extension groups Ext 𝒫 𝕜 * ( F ( r ) , G ( r ) ) between the...

Twisted gamma filtration and algebras with orthogonal involution

Caroline Junkins (2014)

Open Mathematics

For the Grothendieck group of a split simple linear algebraic group, the twisted γ-filtration provides a useful tool for constructing torsion elements in -rings of twisted flag varieties. In this paper, we construct a non-trivial torsion element in the γ-ring of a complete flag variety twisted by means of a PGO-torsor. This generalizes the construction in the HSpin case previously obtained by Zainoulline.
