N(H)/H and the Weyl group
Let $ H $ be a connected subgroup of $ G=\mathrm{SU}(n) $ such that $ N_G(H)/H $ is finite. Is $ N_G(H)/H $ always a subgroup of the symmetric group $ \mathrm{S}_n $?
I just noticed this from the ...

Homomorphisms from binary polyhedral group to compact Lie groups
Are homomorphisms from binary polyhedral groups to (simple and simply connected) compact Lie groups classified?
For cyclic groups, the result is well known (see e.g. Kac's "Infinite dimensional Lie ...

Are the integer points of a simple linear algebraic group 2-generated?
Set Up:
Let $ K $ be a totally real number field. Let $ \mathcal{O}_K $ be the ring of integers of $ K $. Let $ G $ be a simple linear algebraic group. Suppose that $ G(\mathbb{R}) $ is a compact Lie ...

Conjugacy classes in reductive group under adjoint action of parabolic subgroup
Given a reductive group $G$ over a finite field and a parabolic subgroup $P$ , I wonder what are the orbits in $G$ under the adjoint action of $P$. This should be standard, but I can only find results ...

Normalizer of a split torus
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group split over a field $k$. Let $T$ be a maximal split torus of $G$. Consider $N_G(T)$, the normalizer of $T$ in $G$, we have $N_G(T)/T \cong W$, the Weyl group of $...

Finite groups normalizing a torus
Let $G$ be a semi-simple linear algebraic group over the complex numbers, e.g. the special linear group. Can you find an example of a finite sub-group $H$ of $G$ which does not normalize any maximal ...

Finite subgroups of $PGL(3,K)$
It is well-known that finite subgroups of $PGL_2(\mathbb{C})$ are cyclic groups, dihedral groups, A4, S4 and A5 and each of these groups occurs exactly once (up to conjugacy). These facts are ...
