The proof should be easily generalizable to other contexts. We give a quick application by proving a finiteness result on these sets over a finite field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-29T18:11:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14L99", "20G15", "18D35" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic groups", "extensions", "classic result", "finite field", "isomorphism classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
