We consider the functions that bound the dimensions of finite-dimensional associative or Lie algebras in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. It is proved that these functions have quadratic growth. As a result, we also…

This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…

We construct a nil algebra over a countable field which has finite but non-zero Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.

Two-dimensional (2,2) supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models can be described in (2,2), (2,1) or (1,1) superspaces. Each description emphasizes different aspects of generalized K\"ahler geometry. We investigate the reduction from (2,2) to…

For a K3 surface S, consider the subring of CH(S^n) generated by divisor and diagonal classes (with Q-coefficients). Voisin conjectures that the restriction of the cycle class map to this ring is injective. We prove that Voisin's conjecture…

We generalise two facts about finite dimensional algebras to finite dimensional differential graded algebras. The first is the Nakayama Lemma and the second is that the simples can detect finite projective dimension. We prove two dual…

We study dynamical systems induced by birational automorphisms on smooth cubic surfaces defined over a number field $K$. In particular we are interested in the product of non-commuting birational Geiser involutions of the cubic surface. We…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. If $p$ is large enough with respect to $[K:\mathbb{Q}_p]$ and under mild genericity assumptions, we prove that the admissible smooth representations of…

Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…

We consider the degree/diameter problem for graphs embedded in a surface, namely, given a surface $\Sigma$ and integers $\Delta$ and $k$, determine the maximum order $N(\Delta,k,\Sigma)$ of a graph embeddable in $\Sigma$ with maximum degree…

Any finite-dimensional commutative (associative) graded algebra with all nonzero homogeneous subspaces one-dimensional is defined by a symmetric coefficient matrix. This algebraic structure gives a basic kind of $A$-graded algebras…

Let the reductive group G act on the finitely generated commutative k-algebra A. We ask if the finite generation property of the ring of invariants A^G extends to the full rational cohomology ring H^*(G,A). We confirm this when G=SL_2 and…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $G$-graded algebra with $G$ a finite group, and $A\# k[G]^{\ast}$ be the smash product of $A$ with the group $G$. Our results can be stated as follows: (1) If $A$ is a self-injective algebra and separably…

In this paper we answer two questions from [16], by showing that, over any algebraically closed field, $K$, there is a finitely generated, infinitely dimensional algebra $A$ such that algebras $A\otimes_{K}A$ and $A\otimes_{K} A^{op}$ are…

If $G$ is a finite group and $k =q>2$ or $k=q+1$ for a prime power $q$ then, for infinitely many integers $v$, there is a $2$-$(v,k,1)$-design ${\bf D}$ for which ${\rm Aut} {\bf D}\cong G$.

In this note, we give a new proof of the fact that an affine semiprime algebra R of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 1 satisfies a polynomial identity. Our proof uses only the growth properties of the algebra and yields an explicit upper bound…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic $p$. For a positive integer $m$ prime to $p$, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendency degree $1$ function field defined by…

Let $K$ be an infinite field and $K< X> =K< X_1,...,X_n>$ the free associative algebra generated by $X=\{X_1,...,X_n\}$ over $K$. It is proved that if $I$ is a two-sided ideal of $K< X>$ such that the $K$-algebra $A=K< X> /I$ is almost…

Let k be a field and q a non-zero element of k. In Part I, we have exhibited a 6-dimensional k-algebra A = A(q) and we have shown that if q has infinite multiplicative order, then A has a 3-dimensional local module which is…

Hecke-Kiselman algebras $A_{\Theta}$, over a field $k$, associated to finite oriented graphs $\Theta$ are considered. It has been known that every such algebra is an automaton algebra in the sense of Ufranovskii. In particular, its…
