This paper introduces and systematically studies Weyl-type, Witt-type, and non-associative algebras defined over expolynomial rings -- commutative rings generated by exponential functions $e^{\alpha x}$, exponentials of exponentials $e^{\pm…
Let X be a smooth or proper variety defined over a finite field. The geometric etale fundamental group of X is a normal subgroup of the Weil group, so conjugation gives it a Weil action. We consider the pro-Q_l-algebraic completion of the…
We discuss the classification of reflection subgroups of finite and affine Weyl groups from the point of view of their root systems. A short case free proof is given of the well known classification of the isomorphism classes of reflection…
The aim of these notes is to present an accessible overview of some topics in classical algebraic geometry which have applications to aspects of discrete integrable systems. Precisely, we focus on surface theory on the algebraic geometry…
This is an expository paper which gives a simple arithmetic introduction to the conjectures of Weil and Dwork concerning zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. A number of further open questions are raised.
A subtraction-free definition of the big Witt vector construction was recently given by the first author. This allows one to define the big Witt vectors of any semiring. Here we give an explicit combinatorial description of the big Witt…
Our main goal in this paper is to prove results for Witt vectors in the almost category. We finish with an application to almost purity, in particular offering a new proof for rank one valuation rings.
The fourth paper of our series of papers entitled "Differential Geometry of Microlinear Frolicher Spaces is concerned with jet bundles. We present three distinct approaches together with transmogrifications of the first into the second and…
Wawamoto generalized the Witt algebra using Laurent extension of polynomial ring. We construct the generalized Witt algebra $W(g_p,n)$ by using an additive map $g_p$ from a set of integers into a field of characteristic zero where $1\leq p…
We discuss generalizations of the notions of projective transformations acting on affine model of Riemann-Cartan and Riemann-Cartan-Weyl gravity which preserve the projective structure of the light-cones. We show how the invariance under…
Anabelian geometry with etale homotopy types generalizes in a natural way classical anabelian geometry with etale fundamental groups. We show that, both in the classical and the generalized sense, any point of a smooth variety over a field…
We study the structure and representation theory of affine wreath product algebras and their cyclotomic quotients. These algebras, which appear naturally in Heisenberg categorification, simultaneously unify and generalize many important…
The paper explains how a unit generalized quaternion is used to represent a rotation of a vector in 3-dimensional space. We review of some algebraic properties of generalized quaternions and operations between them and then show their…
We give a self-contained introduction into the metric-affine gauge theory of gravity. Starting from the equivalence of reference frames, the prototype of a gauge theory is presented and illustrated by the example of Yang-Mills theory. Along…
We first extend the Peierls algebra of gauge invariant functions from the space ${\cal S}$ of classical solutions to the space ${\cal H}$ of histories used in path integration and some studies of decoherence. We then show that it may be…
In this paper we introduce new affine algebraic varieties whose points correspond to associative algebras. We show that the algebras within a variety share many important homological properties. In particular, any two algebras in the same…
We argue that the structure general relativity (GR) as a theory of affine defects is deeper than the standard interpretation as a metric theory of gravitation. Einstein-Cartan theory (EC), with its inhomogenous affine symmetry, should be…
We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…
We present the notion of a filtered bundle as a generalisation of a graded bundle. In particular, we weaken the necessity of the transformation laws for local coordinates to exactly respect the weight of the coordinates by allowing more…
This is an expended and revised version of the preprint "Schematization of homotopy types". The purpose of this work is to introduce a notion of \emph{affine stacks}, which is a homotopy version of the notion of affine schemes, and to give…
