    • Cocharacter-closure and spherical buildings 

      [OWP-2015-12] Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)
      Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive $k$-group and $V$ an affine $k$-variety on which $G$ acts. In this note we continue our study of the notion of cocharacter-closed $G(k)$-orbits in $V$. In earlier work we used a ...

    • Torsion-free Covers of Solvable Minimax Groups 

      [OWP-2015-15] Kropholler, Peter H.; Lorensen, Karl (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-11-18)
      We prove that every finitely generated solvable minimax group can be realized as a quotient of a torsion-free solvable minimax group. This result has an application to the investigation of random walks on finitely generated ...
