endomorphisms of the Jacobian of a curve

Let $C$ be a smooth, projective curve over the complex numbers and let $J(C)$ be its Jacobian. The Torelli theorem relates the automorphisms of $C$ to the automorphisms of $J(C)$. Precisely, ...

Are finite-dimensional representations of groups of type $\text{FP}_{\infty}$?

Let $G$ be a group (possibly infinite) and $k$ be a field. A module $M$ over $k[G]$ is said to be of type $\text{FP}_{\infty}(k)$ if it has a projective resolution each of whose terms is finitely ...

Connectedness properties of groups of homeomorphisms

Denote by $H(X)$ the group of homeomorphisms of a topological space $X$. Assume further that $X$ is either compact or locally compact and locally connected. In both cases $H(X)$ becomes a topological ...

Lie Group Isomorphisms

I'm not sure of the difficulty of the question I'm about to ask. If it does not fit the criteria for this site then I apologize in advance, I'm rather new here. So here it goes: Let $G$ be a Lie ...
Let $G$ be any algebraic subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. If $s$ is a semisimple element of $G$, can the $G$-conjugacy class of $s$ fail to be ...
