The following is an exposition of a course of algebra that Prof. Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Zykov (1922-2013) distributed among the participants of his seminar in graph theory not far away from Odessa, Ukraine, on September, 1991. It is a…
A text of the talk given by the author on Conference on Algebra, Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory dedicated to the 100th anniversary of I.R. Shafarevich, Moscow, June 5 -- 9, 2023.
This is the opening article of the abstract book of conference "Set-Theoretic Topology and Topological Algebra" in honor of professor Alexander Arhangelskii on the occasion of his 80th birthday held in 2018 at Moscow State University.
Among the impressive contributions of Andrej N. Kolmogorov's to mathematics in the 20th century, his 1954 invariant tori theorem is still little understood from a historical point of view [Dumas 2014]. Vladimir I. Arnold, who entered Moscow…
A breakthrough took place in the von Neumann algebra theory when the Tomita-Takesaki theory was established around 1970. Since then, many important issues in the theory were developed through 1970's by Araki, Connes, Haagerup, Takesaki and…
This book is expository and is in Russian. It is shown how in the course of solution of interesting geometric problems (close to applications) naturally appear main notions of algebraic topology (homology groups, obstructions and…
This text grew up from the notes of a graduate course I gave at the University of Roma ``Tor Vergata'' in the academic year 2018--19. The subject is the classification of complex algebraic surfaces following Mori's theory. It includes the…
Text of a (pre-dinner) lecture at the Bielefeld workshop "Discrete Categories in Representation Theory", April 20 - 21, 2018. This workshop was organized in order to celebrate the 60th birthday of Dieter Vossieck: his famous paper "The…
These are (not updated) notes from the lectures I gave in St.Petersburg in July of 2001. Their goal is to give an expository account of the proof of Kontsevich's combinatorial formula for intersections on moduli spaces of curves following…
This is the abstract of a series of lectures given during the XIIIth School on Geometry and Physics, Bialystok (Poland), in July 2024. In this minicourse, we first examine the algebraic aspects of barycentric algebras. Then, we focus on…
A series of lecture notes on the elementary theory of algebraic numbers, using only knowledge of a first-semester graduate course in algebra (primarily groups and rings). No prerequisite knowledge of fields is required. Based primarily on…
This is a collection of open problems in Group Theory proposed by more than 300 mathematicians from all over the world. It has been published every 2-4 years in Novosibirsk since 1965, now also in English. This is the 18th Russian edition,…
This is an English translation of Nikolai Chebotaryov's paper "Die Probleme der modernen Galoisschen Theorie" from 1932. An excerpt from this paper was given as a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Z\"urich in 1932.…
This is a revised version of the notes from the week-long course I gave at the Centre de Recerca Matematica, Barcelona, in September of 2010. The aim is to give a working overview of recent methods and results in "Blaschkean integral…
This is the text of the Bourbaki seminar that I gave on June 24, 2000.
Voskresenskii conjectured that stably rational tori are rational. Klyachko proved this assertion for a wide class of tori by general principles. We re-prove Klyachko's result by providing simple explicit birational isomorphisms, and…
In recent years a series of remarkable advances in tropical geometry and in non-archimedean geometry have brought new insights to the moduli theory of algebraic curves and their Jacobians. The goal of this survey, an expanded version of my…
The study of the birational properties of algebraic $k$-tori began in the sixties and seventies with work of Voskresenkii, Endo, Miyata, Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. There was particular interest in determining the rationality of a given…
This is an expanded version of my talk given at the workshop "Hot Topics: Thin Groups and Super-strong Approximation" (MSRI, Berkeley, February 6-10, 2012).
We highlight some of the most important cornerstones of the long standing and very fruitful collaboration of the Austrian Diophantine Number Theory research group and the Number Theory and Cryptography School of Debrecen. However, we do not…
