We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…
A quadratic Lie algebra is a Lie algebra endowed with a symmetric, invariant and non degenerate bilinear form; such a bilinear form is called an invariant metric. The aim of this work is to describe the general structure of those central…
The purpose of this paper is to use conservative descent to study semi-orthogonal decompositions for some homogeneous varieties over general bases. We produce a semi-orthogonal decomposition for the bounded derived category of coherent…
Some features of Cayley algebras (or algebras of octonions) and their Lie algebras of derivations over fields of low characteristic are presented. More specifically, over fields of characteristic $7$, explicit embeddings of any twisted form…
We prove that the triviality of the Galois action on the suitably twisted odd-dimensional \'etale cohomogy group of a smooth projective varietiy with finite coefficients implies the existence of certain primitive roots of unity in the field…
We study $n$-ary commutative superalgebras and $L_{\infty}$-algebras that possess a skew-symmetric invariant form, using the derived bracket formalism. This class of superalgebras includes for instance Lie algebras and their $n$-ary…
Subalgebras of upper triangular matrix algebras have played a fundamental role in the classification of minimal varieties of polynomial growth. Such classification has become a source of study in recent years since it leads to the more…
We provide a classification, up to isomorphism, of four-dimensional ternary Leibniz algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For each non-abelian algebra in the classification, we explicitly determine its centroid…
We describe how traceless projection of tensors of a given rank can be constructed in a closed form. On the way to this goal we invoke the representation theory of the Brauer algebra and the related Schur-Weyl dualities. The resulting…
The existence of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety provides a flat degeneration of the variety to a union of projective toric varieties, called a semi-toric variety. Such a stratification is said to be normal when…
Algebra bundles, in the strict sense, appear in many areas of geometry and physics. However, the structure of an algebra is flexible enough to vary non-trivially over a connected base, giving rise to a structure of a weak algebra bundle. We…
We give a complete (global) characterization of complex perverse sheaves on semi-abelian varieties in terms of their cohomology jump loci. Our results generalize Schnell's work on perverse sheaves on complex abelian varieties, as well as…
We give a concise introduction to (discrete) algebras arising from \'etale groupoids, (aka Steinberg algebras) and describe their close relationship with groupoid C*-algebras. Their connection to partial group rings via inverse semigroups…
We introduce and study new families of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras with the Chevalley property that are not pointed nor semisimple arising as twistings of quantum linear spaces. These Hopf algebras generalize the examples introduced in…
We give a detailed description of the torsors that correspond to multiloop algebras. These algebras are twisted forms of simple Lie algebras extended over Laurent polynomial rings. They play a crucial role in the construction of Extended…
We investigate the concept of a ``Chevalley involution'' within the framework of root-graded Lie algebras with compatible grading. We provide a characterization of all centerless Lie tori of type $A_\ell(\ell\geq2)$ admitting a Chevalley…
The local Euler obstructions and the Euler characteristics of linear sections with all hyperplanes on a stratified projective variety are key geometric invariants in the study of singularity theory. Despite their importance, in general it…
A classical result asserts that the complex projective plane modulo complex conjugation is the 4-dimensional sphere. We generalize this result in two directions by considering the projective planes over the normed real division algebras and…
A compatible associative algebra is a vector space equipped with two associative multiplication structures that interact in a certain natural way. This article presents the classification of these algebras with dimension less than four, as…
The interplay between derivations and algebraic structures has been a subject of significant interest and exploration. Inspired by Yau's twist and the Leibniz rule, we investigate the formal deformation of twisted Lie algebras by invertible…
