Let $K$ be a field, $V$ a finite dimensional $K$-vector space and $E$ the exterior algebra of $V$. We analyze iterated mapping cone over $E$. If $I$ is a monomial ideal of $E$ with linear quotients, we show that the mapping cone…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $A$ be a finitely generated standard graded $S$-algebra. We show that if the defining ideal of $A$ has a quadratic initial ideal, then all the graded components of…

We study amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and apply it to algebras associated with finitely generated groups. We show that a group G is amenable if and only if its group…

Let $K$ be the field of Laurent series with complex coefficients, let $\mathcal{R}$ be the inverse limit of the standard-graded polynomial rings $K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$, and let $\mathcal{R}^{\flat}$ be the subring of $\mathcal{R}$ consisting…

We know that for a finite field $F$, every function on $F$ can be given by a polynomial with coefficients in $F$. What about the converse? i.e. if $R$ is a ring (not necessarily commutative or with unity) such that every function on $R$ can…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U be the Utumi quotient ring of R and C be the extended centroid of R. Let F be a generalized skew derivation on R, I be a non-zero ideal of R. Then we give the complete structure of…

Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective hypersurface over a field $F$ of characteristic $p>0$, and let $F(X)$ denote its function field. In a recent article, Dolphin and Hoffmann obtained an explicit description of the kernel of the…

In this paper, we provide a complete description of congruence-semisimple semirings and introduce the pre-ordered abelian Grothendieck groups $K_0(S)$ and $SK_0(S)$ of the isomorphism classes of the finitely generated projective and…

We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…

We study algebraic properties of the semigroup $\mathscr{O\!\!I\!}_n(L)$ of finite partial order isomorphisms of the rank $\leq n$ of an infinite linearly ordered set $(L,\leqslant)$. In particular we describe its idempotents, the natural…

Let $[n]$ be a finite chain $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, and let $\mathcal{LS}_{n}$ be the semigroup consisting of all isotone and order-decreasing partial transformations on $[n]$. Moreover, let $\mathcal{SS}_{n} = \{\alpha \in \mathcal{LS}_{n}…

We define the rank of elements of general unital rings, discuss its properties and give several examples to support the definition. In semiprime rings we give a characterization of rank in terms of invertible elements. As an application we…

We consider $K$-semialgebras for a commutative semiring $K$ that are at the same time $\Sigma$-algebras and satisfy certain linearity conditions. When each finite system of guarded polynomial fixed point equations has a unique solution over…

Denote by $\mathfrak{o}$ the valuation ring of a non-Archimedean local field with prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ and finite residue field, and let $r\geq 1$ be an integer. We prove that for every smooth affine group scheme $G$ over…

The characters $\chi_\mu$ of nontwisted affine algebras at fixed level define in a natural way a representation $R$ of the modular group $SL_2(Z)$. The matrices in the image $R(SL_2(Z))$ are called the Kac-Peterson modular matrices, and…

A set is called semidefinite representable or semidefinite programming (SDP) representable if it can be represented as the projection of a higher dimensional set which is represented by some Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI). This paper…

The main goal of this thesis is to study $\mathbb{K}$-uniruled sets that appear in affine geometry. At the beginning we discuss the property of $\mathbb{K}$-uniruledness and its equivalent conditions. Then we bound from above the degree of…

In this note we illustrate by a few examples the general principle: interesting algebras and representations defined over Z_+ come from category theory, and are best understood when their categorical origination has been discovered. We show…

Let R be a Stanley-Reisner ring (that is, a reduced monomial ring) with coefficients in a domain k, and K its associated simplicial complex. Also let D_k(R) be the ring of k-linear differential operators on R. We give two different…
