In this article we further the study of noncommutative numerical motives. By exploring the change-of-coefficients mechanism, we start by improving some of our previous main results. Then, making use of the notion of Schur-finiteness, we…

Friedel's sum rule provides an explicit expression for a conductance functional, $\mathcal{G}[n]$, valid for the single impurity Anderson model at zero temperature. The functional is special because it does not depend on the interaction…

A conjecture of Kac states that the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with given dimension vector has positive coefficients and furthermore that its constant term is…

In this paper we present an unexpected link between the Factorial Conjecture and Furter's Rigidity Conjecture. The Factorial Conjecture in dimension $m$ asserts that if a polynomial $f$ in $m$ variables $X_i$ over $\C$ is such that ${\cal…

Let $X \overset{f}\longrightarrow S$ be a morphism of Noetherian schemes, with $S$ reduced. For any closed subscheme $Z$ of $X$ finite over $S$, let $j$ denote the open immersion $X\setminus Z \hookrightarrow X$. Koll\'ar asked whether for…

The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…

This note considers a finite algebraic group $G$ acting on an affine variety $X$ by automorphisms. Results of Dufresne on polynomial separating algebras for linear representations of $G$ are extended to this situation. For that purpose, we…

By solving a free analog of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, we prove a non-commutative analog of Brenier's monotone transport theorem: if an $n$-tuple of self-adjoint non-commutative random variables $Z_{1},...,Z_{n}$ satisfies a regularity…

We show that the ring of translation invariant symmetric polynomials in n variables is isomorphic to the full polynomial ring in n-1 variables, in characteristic 0. We disprove a conjecture of Haldane regarding the structure of such…

Let K be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0, let f be a K-rational function of degree greater than 1, and let a be an element of K. Let S be a finite set of places of K containing all the archimedean ones and the primes…

Let $U$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup of a connected semisimple group $G$ and $U'$ the derived group of $U$. We study actions of $U'$ on affine $G$-varieties. First, we consider the algebra of $U'$ invariants on $G/U$. We prove that…

Let k be a base commutative ring, R a commutative ring of coefficients, X a quasi-compact quasi-separated k-scheme, A a sheaf of Azumaya algebras over X of rank r, and Hmo(R) the category of noncommutative motives with R-coefficients.…

We point out that fermionic unitary operators which anticommute among themselves appear in various situations in quantum field theories with anomalies in the Hamiltonian formalism. To illustrate, we give multiple derivations of the fact…

We propose a field theoretical model defined on non-commutative space-time with non-constant non-commutativity parameter $\Theta(x)$, which satisfies two main requirements: it is gauge invariant and reproduces in the commutative limit,…

Let $N$ be normal subgroup of a finite group $G$, $p$ be a prime, $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $\theta$ be a $P$-invariant irreducible character of $N$. Suppose that $G/N$ is a $p$-solvable group. In this note we show that,…

We prove a conjecture by Shannon Starr regarding the asymptotics for the number of tuples of commuting permutations with given number of joint orbits. These numbers generalize unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind which count how many…

We study certain "\sigma-commuting varieties" associated with a pair of commuting involutions of a semisimple Lie algebra $\g$. The usual commuting variety of $\g$ and commuting varieties related to one involution are particular cases of…

We prove a nonsmooth implicit function theorem applicable to the zero set of the difference of convex functions. This theorem is explicit and global: it gives a formula representing this zero set as a difference of convex functions which…

We show that the Nakayama automorphism of a Frobenius algebra $R$ over a field $k$ is independent of the field (Theorem 4). Consequently, the $k$-dual functor on left $R$-modules and the bimodule isomorphism type of the $k$-dual of $R$, and…
