The reduced unitary Whitehead group SK1 of a graded division algebra equipped with a unitary involution (i.e., an involution of the second kind) and graded by a torsion-free abelian group is studied. It is shown that calculations in the…

For a simple graded algebra A=M_n(E) over a graded division algebra E, a short exact sequence relating the reduced Whitehead group of the homogeneous part of A to that of E is established. In particular it is shown that the homogeneous SK1…

Let $K$ be a field equipped with a Henselian valuation, and let $D$ be a tame central division algebra over the field $K$. Denote by $\mathrm{TK}_1(D)$ the torsion subgroup of the Whitehead group ${\rm K}_1(D) = D^*/D'$, where $D^*$ is the…

In this paper, we study the torsion subgroup, which is denoted by ${\rm TK}_1(E)$, of the Whitehead group $E^*/[E^*,E^*]$ of a graded division algebra $E$ which is finite dimensional over its center. In particular, we provide formulas for…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

Let A be an Azumaya algebra of constant rank n^2 over a Hensel pair (R,I) where R is a semilocal ring with n invertible in R. Then the reduced Whitehead group SK(A) coincides with its reduction SK(A/IA).

We prove formulas for the unitary SK_1 of a semiramified graded division algebra (or valued division algebra over a Henselian field) with a unitary involution. These formulas generalize earlier formulas of Yanchevskii, (and Platonov and…

For any finitely generated abelian group $Q$, we reduce the problem of classification of $Q$-graded simple Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of "good" characteristic to the problem of classification of gradings on simple Lie…

Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…

We classify, up to equivalence, all finite-dimensional simple graded division algebras over the field of real numbers. The grading group is any finite abelian group.

Let E be a graded division ring finite-dimensional over its center with torsion-free abelian grade group, and let q(E) be its quotient division ring. Let tau be a degree-preserving unitary involution on E. We prove that SK_1(E, tau) is…

We develop a valuation-theoretic framework for studying tangent cones of torsion-free sheaves on algebraic varieties. To analyze these objects, we introduce a slope stability theory, including the Harder-Narasimhan filtrations, for finitely…

We give a full classification, up to equivalence, of finite-dimensional graded division algebras over the field of real numbers. The grading group is any abelian group.

The paper deals with Henselian valued field with analytic structure. Actually, we are focused on separated analytic structures, but the results remain valid for strictly convergent analytic ones as well. A classical example of the latter is…

Let G be a group and let W be an algebra over a field K. We will say that W is a G-graded twisted algebra if W can be written as a direct sum over the elements of G of one dimensional K-vector spaces. It is also assumed that W has no…

For an Azumaya algebra $A$ which is free over its centre $R$, we prove that the $K$-theory of $A$ is isomorphic to $K$-theory of $R$ up to its rank torsion. We observe that a graded central simple algebra, graded by an abelian group, is a…

Given a Hopf algebra $A$ graded by a discrete group together with an action of the same group preserving the grading, we define a new Hopf algebra, which we call the graded twisting of $A$. If the action is adjoint, this new Hopf algebra is…

We discuss the decomposability of torsion-free abelian groups. We show that among computable groups of finite rank this property is $\Sigma^0_3$-complete. However, when we consider groups of infinite rank, it becomes $\Sigma^1_1$-complete,…

We define graded group schemes and graded group varieties and develop their theory. Graded group schemes are the graded analogue of group schemes and are in correspondence with graded Hopf algebra. In this setting, graded group varieties…

We determine some of the derived equivalences of a class of gentle algebras called surface algebras. These algebras are constructed from an unpunctured Riemann surface of genus 0 with boundary and marked points by introducing cuts in…
