We prove that the closure of every Jordan class J in a semisimple simply connected complex group G at a point x with Jordan decomposition x = rv is smoothly equivalent to the union of closures of those Jordan classes in the centraliser of r that are contained in J and contain x in their closure. For x unipotent we also show that the closure of J around x is smoothly equivalent to the closure of a Jordan class in Lie(G) around exp^{-1}x. For G simple we apply these results in order to determine a (non-exhaustive) list of smooth sheets in G, the complete list of regular Jordan classes whose closure is normal and Cohen-Macaulay, and to prove that all sheets and Lusztigs strata in SL(n,C) are smooth.

We prove that an analogue of Jordans theorem on finite subgroups of general linear groups holds for the groups of biregular automorphisms of algebraic surfaces. This gives a positive answer to a question of Vladimir L. Popov.
Popov has recently introduced an analogue of Jordan classes (packets, or decomposition classes) for the action of a theta-group (G_0,V), showing that they are finitely-many, locally-closed, irreducible unions of G_0-orbits of constant dimension partitioning V. We carry out a local study of their closures showing that Jordan classes are smooth and that their closure is a union of Jordan classes. We parametrize Jordan classes and G_0-orbits in a given class in terms of the action of subgroups of Vinbergs little Weyl group, and include several examples and counterexamples underlying the differences with the symmetric case and the critical issues arising in the theta-situation.
We prove an analogue of the celebrated Hall-Higman theorem, which gives a lower bound for the degree of the minimal polynomial of any semisimple element of prime power order $p^{a}$ of a finite classical group in any nontrivial irreducible cross characteristic representation. With a few explicit exceptions, this degree is at least $p^{a-1}(p-1)$.
We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more information than considering both the Lie algebra of $G$ and the group $G(k)$ of $k$-points. For $G$ simple and $V$ faithful and irreducible, we prove the existence of a stabilizer in general position, sometimes called a principal orbit type. We determine those $G$ and $V$ for which the stabilizer in general position is smooth, or $dim V/G < dim G$, or there is a $v in V$ whose stabilizer in $G$ is trivial.
This paper concerns character sheaves of connected reductive algebraic groups defined over non-Archimedean local fields and their relation with characters of smooth representations. Although character sheaves were devised with characters of representations of finite groups of Lie type in mind, character sheaves are perfectly well defined for reductive algebraic groups over any algebraically closed field. Nevertheless, the relation between character sheaves of an algebraic group $G$ over an algebraic closure of a field $K$ and characters of representations of $G(K)$ is well understood only when $K$ is a finite field and when $K$ is the field of complex numbers. In this paper we consider the case when $K$ is a non-Archimedean local field and explain how to match certain character sheaves of a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ with virtual representations of $G(K)$. In the final section of the paper we produce examples of character sheaves of general linear groups and matching admissible virtual representations.
