Meta-centralizers of non-locally compact group algebras are studied. Theorems about their representations with the help of families of generalized measures are proved. Isomorphisms of group algebras are investigated in relation with…

We examine the structure of central twisted transformation group \cs-algebras $C_{0}(X)\rtimes_{\id,u}G$, and apply our results to the group \cs-algebras of central group extensions. Our methods require that we study Moore's cohomology…

We construct homology with trivial coefficients of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras. We introduce and characterize universal ($\alpha$)-central extensions of Hom-Leibniz $n$-algebras. In particular, we show their interplay with the zeroth and first…

We develop a coarse notion of bundle and use it to understand the coarse geometry of group extensions and, more generally, groups acting on proper metric spaces. The results are particularly sharp for groups acting on (locally finite) trees…

We define a sheaf of abelian groups whose cohomology is represented by the cotangent complex. We show how obstructions to some standard deformation problems arise as the classes of torsors under and gerbes banded by this sheaf.

It is important to classify covering subgroups of the fundamental group of a topological space using their topological properties in the topologized fundamental group. In this paper, we introduce and study some topologies on the fundamental…

We introduce the notion of (twisted) quiver representations in abelian categories and study the category of such representations. We construct standard resolutions and coresolutions of quiver representations and study basic homological…

It is outlined how deformations of field theoretical rigid symmetries can be constructed and classified by cohomological means in the extended antifield formalism. Special attention is devoted to deformations referring only to a subset of…

We propose a simple approach to formal deformations of associative algebras. It exploits the machinery of multiplicative coresolutions of an associative algebra A in the category of A-bimodules. Specifically, we show that certain…

We establish central limit theorems for an action of a group G on a hyperbolic space X with respect to the counting measure on a Cayley graph of G. Our techniques allow us to remove the usual assumptions of properness and smoothness of the…

For a compact space X we consider extending endomorphisms of the algebra C(X) to be endomorphisms of Arens-Hoffman and Cole extensions of C(X). Given a non-linear, monic polynomial p in C(X)[t], with C(X)[t]/pC(X)[t] semi-simple, we show…

We investigate from an algebraic and topological point of view the minimal prime spectrum of a universal algebra, considering the prime congruences w.r.t. the term condition commutator. Then we use the topological structure of the minimal…

The representation and the cohomology theory of associative 2-algebras are developed. We study the deformations and abelian extensions of associative 2-algebras in details.

We construct geometrically a gerbe assigned to a connection on a principal SU(2)-bundle over an oriented closed 1-dimensional manifold. If the connection is given by the restriction of a connection on a bundle over a compact 2-manifold…

We show that the canonical central extension of the group of sections of a Lie group bundle over a compact manifold, constructed in [NW09], is universal. In doing so, we prove universality of the corresponding central extension of Lie…

We characterize absorption in finite idempotent algebras by means of J\'onsson absorption and cube term blockers. As an application we show that it is decidable whether a given subset is an absorbing subuniverse of an algebra given by the…

We introduce a new method for ``twisting'' relative equivalences of derived categories of sheaves on two spaces over the same base. The first aspect of this is that the derived categories of sheaves on the spaces are twisted. They become…

This note intertwines the concepts of degeneration and contraction of algebras and quadratic forms defined on a vector space V . The general linear group GL(V ) acts regularly on the spaces of these two objects. The base field is taken to…

Motivated by the classical theory of spin structures, we develop a theory for lifting free C$^*$-dynamical systems, a.k.a. noncommutative principal bundles, along central extensions. This theory extends the bundle-theoretic notion of spin…

Restricted Heisenberg Lie superalgebras are studied over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 2. We use the ordinary 1- and 2-cohomology spaces with trivial coefficients to compute the restricted 2-cohomology spaces. As an…
