Algebraic groups

Borel subgroup

In the theory of algebraic groups, a Borel subgroup of an algebraic group G is a maximal Zariski closed and connected solvable algebraic subgroup. For example, in the general linear group GLn (n x n invertible matrices), the subgroup of invertible upper triangular matrices is a Borel subgroup. For groups realized over algebraically closed fields, there is a single conjugacy class of Borel subgroups. Borel subgroups are one of the two key ingredients in understanding the structure of simple (more generally, reductive) algebraic groups, in Jacques Tits' theory of groups with a (B,N) pair. Here the group B is a Borel subgroup and N is the normalizer of a maximal torus contained in B. The notion was introduced by Armand Borel, who played a leading role in the development of the theory of algebraic groups. (Wikipedia).

Group Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The group is the most fundamental object you will study in abstract algebra. Groups generalize a wide variety of mathematical sets: the integers, symmetries of shapes, modular arithmetic, NxM matrices, and much more. After learning about groups in detail, you will then be ready to contin

Phylum Rotifera Part 2: Four Major Clades

Now that we understand the general characteristics of phylum Rotifera, let's dig into some of the clades within this phylum. These would be Bdelloidea, Seisonidea, Monogononta, Acanthocephala. Their relationships and phylogeny are still not firmly known, but let's talk about what we do kno

(Optional lecture) - Towards a classification of adelic Galois representations of ell. curves (BU)

This is a lecture I gave at Boston University's Number Theory Seminar, on April 5th, 2021, on adelic Galois representations. While not a part of the graduate course on elliptic curves, it is a nice complement to some of the material we have seen on the Tate module.
