Is every $p$-group the $\mathbb{F}_p$-points of a unipotent group
Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group of order $p^n$. Is there necessarily a unipotent algebraic group $G$ of dimension $n$, defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$, with $\Gamma \cong G(\mathbb{F}_p)$?
I have no real ...

How much has been written down about Deligne's geometric approach to the order formula for a finite group of Lie type?
This is a follow-up to a recent mathoverflow question
34387
about computing the orders of finite unitary groups and the comments made there.
Between 1955 (Chevalley's Tohoku paper) and 1968 (...

What goes wrong with this alternate proof of Dirichlet's Theorem?
I had an idea for an alternate proof of Dirichlet's theorem, but something goes wrong. Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progression says that for $ m,a \in \mathbb{N} $ which are ...

Representation theory of finite groups with additional structures
Let $H$ be a finite group, representation theory of $H$ over $\Bbb C$ essentially determines $\operatorname{Hom}(H,GL_n(\Bbb C))$ up to conjugation action of $GL_n(\Bbb C)$ for each $n$. If we replace ...

Is the quotient of two linear group schemes linear?
Let $S$ be an affine scheme.
Call a group scheme $G\to S$ linear if there exists an $S$-group morphism $G\to \mathrm{GL}_{n,S}$ with trivial kernel.
Assuming this, suppose $H\to S$ is a central closed ...

Has Kac's conjecture (*), from "Infinite root systems, representations of graphs and invariant theory", been proved?
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $V$ a finite dimensional $k$ vector space, $V^{\ast}$ the dual space, and $G$ an algebraic subgroup of $GL(V)$. Let $V_0$ be the points ...

Failure of surjectivity in Hotta-Springer specialization: examples for special unipotents?
Last weekend's workshop on Springer theory and its generalizations at UMass demonstrated how far the subject has expanded over four decades, but the original set-up for the Springer correspondence ...

Sheaf-theoretic Grothendieck groups
Let $S$ be a scheme, $M\to S$ a commutative monoid object in algebraic $S$-spaces, ie. an algebraic $S$-space such that, functorially on $S$-schemes $T$, $M(T)$ is a commutative monoid with neutral ...

Can an abelian variety/Q have no non-trivial points over Q_sol?
Let $A/\mathbb{Q}$ be an abelian variety. Must there be a finite solvable
extension $K/\mathbb{Q}$ such that $A(K)$ is nontrivial?
This follows from the conjecture that the maximal (pro-)solvable ...

Looking for counterexamples: Are maximal tori in the automorphism groups of smooth complex quasiprojective varieties conjugate?
Let $X$ be a smooth quasiprojective variety over $\mathbb{C}$. It has a group of (algebraic) automorphisms $
\DeclareMathOperator{\Aut}{Aut}
\Aut(X)$.
Define a torus in $\Aut(X)$ to be a faithful ...

What is the mirror of an algebraic group?
Background: Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry conjecture posits the existence of pairs $(X,\check X)$ with an equivalence of dg/$A_\infty$-categories
$$\mathcal F(X)=\mathcal D^b(\check X)$$

What are the analogs of a Levi/Parabolic/Borel/Bruhat over the field with 1 element?
This is inevitably an imprecise question, but there are already several questions like this on the site so I thought i'd try anyway.
If I understand correctly, for any reductive algebraic group $G$ ...

Lazard's theorem and Hopf structures on the polynomial algebra
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. A well-known result of Lazard's states that an algebraic group which is isomorphic as a variety to an affine space is unipotent (M. ...

Invariance of Euler characteristic under base change for sheaf cohomology of flag varieties
BACKGROUND:
Over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, most of the basic structure theory of affine (= linear) algebraic groups can be developed concretely without quoting ...
