Linear algebraic groups over the reals, the complexes, the quaternions (20G20)

Abstract: In this work we prove that, given a simplicial graph $Gamma$ and a family $mathcalG$ of linear groups over a domain $R$, the graph product $GammamathcalG$ is linear over $R[underlinet]$, where $underlinet$ is a tuple of finitely many linearly independent variables. As a consequence we obtain that any graph product of finitely many groups linear over the complex numbers is again a linear group over the complex numbers. This solves an open problem of Hsu and Wise in the case of faithful representations over $mathbbC$.
