We develop the theory of difference algebraic groups in the case where we have finitely many pairwise commuting difference operators. We show that the defining ideal of a difference algebraic group is finitely generated as a difference…

We generalize the basic results of Vinberg's \theta-groups, or periodically graded reductive Lie algebras, to fields of good positive characteristic. To this end we clarify the relationship between the little Weyl group and the (standard)…

We define notions of generic dimension and generic transcendence degree between models of ZFC and give some examples.

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a semisimple Lie algebra, $\mathfrak h\subset\mathfrak g$ a reductive subalgebra such that $\mathfrak h^\perp$ is a complementary $\mathfrak h$-submodule of $\mathfrak g$. In 1983, Bogoyavlenski claimed that one obtains…

When we consider the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring, a polynomial unchanged by the action is called an invariant polynomial. A famous result of Noether states that in characteristic zero the maximal degree of a minimal…

{\small \ We generalize the concepts of \thinspace level \thinspace and \thinspace sublevel of a composition algebra to division algebras obtained by the Cayley-Dickson process. In 1967, R. B. Brown constructed, for every}$t\in…

Let $\mf g$ be the Witt algebra or the positive Witt algebra. It is well known that the enveloping algebra $U(\mf g )$ has intermediate growth and thus infinite Gelfand-Kirillov (GK-) dimension. We prove that the GK-dimension of $U(\mf g)$…

For an arbitrary representation $\rho$ of a complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra, we construct a collection of numbers that we call the Jordan-Kronecker invariants of $\rho$. Among other interesting properties, these numbers provide lower…

The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in…

We look at connection Laplacians L,g defined by a field h:G to K, where G is a finite set of sets and K is a normed division ring which does not need to be commutative, nor associative but has a conjugation leading to the norm as the square…

We show that the dimension of the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra is determined by the dimensions of the Cuntz semigroups of its separable sub-C*-algebras. This allows us to remove separability assumptions from previous results on the…

We find an exact formula of Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions for the infinite-dimensional explicit irreducible sl(n, F)-modules that appeared in the Z^2-graded oscillator generalizations of the classical theorem on harmonic polynomials…

The purpose of this paper is to combine classical methods from transcendental number theory with the technique of restriction to real scalars. We develop a conceptual approach relating transcendence properties of algebraic groups to results…

For any manifold $M$, we introduce a $\ZZ $-graded differential algebra $\Xi$, which, in particular, is a bi-module over the associative algebra $C(M\cup M)$. We then introduce the corresponding covariant differentials and show how this…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative algebra with derivations over a field of characteristic zero, i.e., an algebra whose structure is enriched by the action of a Lie algebra $L$ by derivations, and let $c_n^L(A),$ $n\geq 1,$ be its…

Given a grading by an abelian group G on a semisimple Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, we classify up to isomorphism the simple objects in the category of finite-dimensional G-graded L-modules. The…

We consider affine representable algebras, that is, finitely generated algebras over a field that can be embedded into some matrix algebra over a commutative algebra. We show that this algebra can in fact be chosen to be a polynomial…

Let U(L) be the enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra L over a field k of characteristic zero, Z(U(L)) its center and Sz(U(L)) its semicenter. A sufficient condition is given in order for Sz(U(L)) to be a polynomial algebra…

Let F/F_q be an algebraic function field of genus g defined over a finite field F_q. We obtain new results on the existence, the number and the density of dimension zero divisors of degree g-k in F where k is a positive integer. In…

It is a classical fact that the elliptic modular functions satisfies an algebraic differential equation of order 3, and none of lower order. We show how this generalizes to Siegel modular functions of arbitrary degree. The key idea is that…
