Brundan and Kleshchev introduced graded decomposition numbers for representations of cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type $A$, which include group algebras of symmetric groups. Graded decomposition numbers are certain Laurent polynomials,…

We prove that in the graded commutative ring $K_{*}(\mathbb{S})$, all positive degree elements are multiplicatively nilpotent. The analogous statements also hold for $TC_{*}(\mathbb{S};\mathbb{Z}^{\wedge}_p)$ and $K_{*}(\mathbb{Z})$.

It is known that any torsion element in a lambda-ring is nilpotent. In this note we deduce a sharp estimate for the nilpotence degree of such an element.

We give a short and unified proof of the Brundan-Kleshchev isomorphism between blocks of cyclotomic Hecke algebras and cyclotomic KhovanovLauda-Rouquier algebras of type A.

The question of whether a noncommutative graded quotient singularity $A^G$ is isolated depends on a subtle invariant of the $G$-action on $A$, called the pertinency. We prove a partial dichotomy theorem for isolatedness, which applies to a…

Given a henselian pair $(R, I)$ of commutative rings, we show that the relative $K$-theory and relative topological cyclic homology with finite coefficients are identified via the cyclotomic trace $K \to \mathrm{TC}$. This yields a…

In this note we show that the nilpotence conjecture for toric varieties is true over any regular coefficient ring containing Q.

This chapter is based on a series of lectures that I gave at the National University of Singapore in April 2013. The notes survey the representation theory of the cyclotomic Hecke algebras of type A with an emphasis on understanding the KLR…

We prove a conjecture of J.P. May concerning the nilpotence of elements in ring spectra with power operations, i.e., $H_\infty$-ring spectra. Using an explicit nilpotence bound on the torsion elements in $K(n)$-local $H_\infty$-algebras…

In this note, it is shown that the nilpotency of submatrices of a certain class of adjacency matrices is equivalent to the aperiodic Collatz conjecture.

Brundan and Kleshchev showed that some parts of the representation theory of the affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras and its finite-dimensional "cyclotomic" quotients are controlled by the Lie theory of type $A^{(2)}_{2l}$ when the quantum…

We define and study cyclotomic quotients of affine Hecke algebras of type D. We establish an isomorphism between (direct sums of blocks of) these cyclotomic quotients and a generalisation of cyclotomic quiver Hecke algebras which are a…

We show existence of a natural rational structure on periodic cyclic homology, conjectured by L. Katzarkov, M. Kontsevich, T. Pantev, for several classes of dg-categories, including proper connective $\mathbb{C}$-dg-algebras and…

We prove that the relative K-groups associated with a nilpotent extension of Z/p^N Z-algebras and the bi-relative K-groups associated with a Milnor square of Z/p^N Z-algebras are p-primary torsion groups of bounded exponent. We also show…

Let $a(n, k)$ be the $k$-th coefficient of the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Recently, Ji, Li and Moree \cite{JLM09} proved that for any integer $m\ge1$, $\{a(mn, k)| n, k\in\mathbb{N}\}=\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we improve this result…

We define a quotient of the category of finitely generated modules over the cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebra for type An and show it has a module category structure over a direct sum of certain cyclotomic Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier…

Let R be a ring with the set of nilpotents Nil(R). We prove that the following are equivalent: (i) Nil(R) is additively closed, (ii) Nil(R) is multiplicatively closed and R satisfies Koethe's conjecture, (iii) Nil(R) is closed under the…

We introduce and study action of quantum groups on skew polynomial rings and related rings of quotients. This leads to a ``q-deformation'' of the Gel'fand-Kirillov conjecture which we partially prove. We propose a construction of…

In this short note, we prove a general nilpotence theorem for a rational rigid 2-ring all of whose objects satisfy a certain ``moderate growth condition'' inspired from the theory of tensor categories. This applies in particular to the…

Let $G$ be a finite group. In this short note, we give a criterion of nilpotency of $G$ based on the existence of elements of certain order in each section of $G$.
