As in Chapter 6.2 of "Introduction to arithmetic groups" (by D.W. Morris), compact arithmetic surfaces could be defined through quaternion algebras $\mathbb{H}^{a,b}_F=\big(\frac{a,b}{F}\big)...

$\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}$Let $n$ be a positive integer $\geq 2$. The setting is that $K \in \GL(n,\mathbb{Z})$, and people are interested in understanding the centralizer: $$ C(K)=\{ B \in \GL(n,\...

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group and $K$ any field. Then the $K$-rank of $G$ is the maximal rank $r$ of a $K$-splitting torus $T \cong (K^...

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group defined over some algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ and also over some subfield $k\subset \mathbb{K}$. There is thus a natural group structure on the set of $...

Let $G$ be a group scheme over a scheme $S$ which is the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring. Let $\eta$ (resp. $s$) be the generic (resp. closed) point. Assume that the generic fiber $G_{\eta}$ is ...
