Each finite algebra $\mathbf A$ induces a lattice~$\mathbf L_{\mathbf A}$ via the quasi-order~$\to$ on the finite members of the variety generated by~$\mathbf A$, where $\mathbf B \to \mathbf C$ if there exists a homomorphism from $\mathbf…
Let $F$ be an arbitrary field and let $f:V\times V\to F$ be a non-degenerate symmetric or alternating bilinear form defined on an $F$-vector space of finite dimension $m\geq 2$. Let $L(f)$ be the subalgebra of $gl(V)$ formed by all…
By arithmeticity and superrigidity, a commensurability class of lattices in a higher rank Lie group is defined by a unique algebraic group over a unique number subfield of $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. We prove an adelic version of…
Any finite simple graph $G = (V,E)$ can be represented by a collection $\mathscr{C}$ of subsets of $V$ such that $uv\in E$ if and only if $u$ and $v$ appear together in an odd number of sets in $\mathscr{C}$. Let $c_2(G)$ denote the minimum…
A non-negative integer invariant, estimating from below the number of geometrically different critical points of a smooth function $f$ defined in the 2-disk, $f:\mathbb{B}^{2}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, is considered. (We denote it by…
We consider abelian length categories, a generalization of module categories over Artin algebras. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian length category of colocal type. We show that the lattice $\mathsf{S}(\mathcal{A})$ of full additive subobject…
We classify simple linearly compact n-Lie superalgebras with n>2 over a field F of characteristic 0. The classification is based on a bijective correspondence between non-abelian n-Lie superalgebras and transitive Z-graded Lie superalgebras…
Suppose that $k\geq 2$ and $A$ is a non-empty subset of a finite abelian group $G$ with $|G|>1$. Then the cardinality of the restricted sumset $$ k^\wedge A:=\{a_1+\cdots+a_k:\,a_1,\ldots,a_k\in A,\ a_i\neq a_j\text{ for }i\neq j\} $$ is at…
We deal with some aspects of the theory of conformal embeddings of affine vertex algebras, providing a new proof of the Symmetric Space Theorem and a criterion for conformal embeddings of equal rank subalgebras. We finally study some…
We prove the following result: Let K be a lattice, let D be a distributive lattice with zero, and let $\phi$: Con K $\to$ D be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism, where Conc K denotes the {∨, 0}-semilattice of all finitely generated…
We study how the existence in an algebraic lattice $L$ of a chain of a given type is reflected in the join-semilattice $K(L)$ of its compact elements. We show that for every chain $\alpha$ of size $\kappa$, there is a set $\B$ of at most…
Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a congruence permutable variety generated by a finite nilpotent algebra $\mathbf{A}$. If $\mathbf{A}$ is a product of algebras of prime power order, then the class $\mathcal{V}_\text{si}$ of subdirectly irreducible…
The Feigin--Frenkel theorem states that, over the complex numbers, the centre of the universal affine vertex algebra at the critical level is an infinite rank polynomial algebra. The first author and W.~Wang observed that in positive…
A subfactor is an inclusion $N \subset M$ of von Neumann algebras with trivial centers. The simplest example comes from the fixed points of a group action $M^G \subset M$, and subfactors can be thought of as fixed points of more general…
Let $V_{L}$ be the vertex algebra associated to a non-degenerate even lattice $L$, $\theta$ the automorphism of $V_{L}$ induced from the $-1$ symmetry of $L$, and $V_{L}^{+}$ the fixed point subalgebra of $V_{L}$ under the action of…
For coprime integers $N,a,b,c$, with $0<a<b<c<N$, we define the set $$ \{ (na \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}, nb \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}, nc \! \! \! \! \pmod{N}) : 0 \leq n < N\}. $$ We study which parameters $N,a,b,c$ generate point sets with long…
We investigate the complexity of the lattice of local clones over a countably infinite base set. In particular, we prove that this lattice contains all algebraic lattices with at most countably many compact elements as complete sublattices,…
A brief proof of Lie's classification of finite dimensional subalgebras of vector fields on the complex plane that have a proper Levi decomposition is given. The proof uses basic representation theory of sl(2, C). This, combined with…
Following ideas of Lawvere and Linton we prove that classical varieties are precisely the exact categories with a varietal generator. This means a strong generator which is abstractly finite and regularly projective. An analogous…
We prove that a variety of algebras whose finitely generated members are free must be definitionally equivalent to the variety of sets, the variety of pointed sets, a variety of vector spaces over a division ring, or a variety of affine…
