In this article we study the Picard functor and the Picard stack of an algebraic stack. We give a new and direct proof of the representability of the Picard stack. We prove that it is quasi-separated, and that the connected component of the…

Lurie's representability theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a functor to be an almost finitely presented derived geometric stack. We establish several variants of Lurie's theorem, making the hypotheses easier to verify…

For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring. Call a functor <<commutative A-algebras>> --> <<sets>> coherent if it can be built up (via iterated finite limits) from functors of the form B \mapsto M tensor_A B, where M is a f.g. A-module. When…

In this paper, we show that the class of representable residuated semigroups has the finite representation property. That is, every finite representable residuated semigroup is isomorphic to some algebra over a finite base. This result…

We prove that an algebraic group over a field $k$is affine precisely when its Picard group is torsion, and show that in this case the Picard group is finite when $k$ is perfect, and the product of a finite group of order prime to $p$ and a…

In this paper we characterize the congruence associated to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary field, generalizing results of Rhodes for the field of complex numbers. Applications are…

In this paper, we show that the class of representable residuated semigroups has the finite representation property. That is, every finite representable residuated semigroup is representable over a finite base. This result gives a positive…

Several structural properties of a universal algebra can be seen from the higher commutators of its congruences. Even on a finite algebra, the sequence of higher commutator operations is an infinite object. In the present paper, we exhibit…

We give sufficient conditions which ensure that a functor of finite length from an additive category to finite-dimensional vector spaces has a projective resolution whose terms are finitely generated. For polynomial functors, we study also…

Using Nisnevich coverings and a Hilbert stack of stacky points, we prove \'etale d\'evissage results for non-representable \'etale and quasi-finite flat coverings. We give applications to absolute noetherian approximation of algebraic…

We consider deformations of bounded complexes of modules for a profinite group G over a field of positive characteristic. We prove a finiteness theorem which provides some sufficient conditions for the versal deformation of such a complex…

We prove in significant generality the (almost-)representability of the Picard functor when restricted to smooth test schemes. The novelty lies in the fact that we prove such (almost-)representability beyond the proper setting.

We prove that the finite representation property holds for representation by partial functions for the signature consisting of composition, intersection, domain and range and for any expansion of this signature by the antidomain, fixset,…

In this paper we study some algebraic properties of the rack structure as well as the representation theory of it, following the ideas given by M. Elhamdadi and E. M. Moutuou in \cite{Elhamdadi}. We establish a correspondence between the…

We prove a finite torsion-free associative conformal algebra to have a finite faithful conformal representation. As a corollary, it is shown that one may join a conformal unit to such an algebra. Some examples are stated to demonstrate that…

We give a survey on the theory of representation-finite and certain minimal representation-infinite algebras.The main goals are the existence of multiplicative bases and of coverings with good properties. Both are attained via…

For an algebraic stack $\sX$ flat and of finite presentation over a scheme $S$, we introduce various notions of {\em relative connected components} and {\em relative irreducible components}. The main distinction between these notions is…

We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…

We study Picard groups and Picard functors of perfectoid spaces which are limits of rigid spaces. For sufficiently large covers that are limits of rigid spaces of good reduction, we show that the Picard functor can be represented by the…
