Background: The first examples one sees of reductive groups over a field $k$ are $\text{GL}_n$, $\text{SL}_n$, and $\text{PGL}_n$. We all know the definitions of $\text{GL}_n$ and $\text{SL}_n$, and ...

Let $G$ be a connected reductive $\mathbb{Q}$-group. Let $\mathbb{A}$ denote the ring of adèles of $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $B \subset G(\mathbb{A})$ be a compact, let $x \in G(\mathbb{A})$ and consider the ...

Let $k$ be a field, not necessarily algebraically closed, $G$ an affine group scheme over $k$, $H$ a subgroup of $G$, and $N$ a normal subgroup of $H$, none of them assumed to be smooth. Suppose that ...

I already asked this question on Math Stack few days ago ( torsors over a separable closure ), but did not receive any answer, so I post it here. Let $G$ be a smooth linear algebraic group defined ...

Let $k$ be a field with characteristic zero and $G$ be a (connected or not) linear algebraic group defined over $k$. We know that $G$ has a Levi decomposition i.e., $G=R_u(G)\rtimes L$, where $R_u(G)$ ...
