Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $\mathbb K[X]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables. The vector space $T_n = \mathbb K[X]$ is a $\mathbb K[X]$-module with the action $x_i \cdot v = v_{x_i}'$ for $v…
We prove that the torsion-free lamplighter group $\Gamma = \mathbb{Z}^n \wr \mathbb{Z}$ of any rank $n \in \mathbb{N}$ is profinitely rigid in the absolute sense: the finite quotients of $\Gamma$ determine its isomorphism type uniquely…
Let $R$ be a commutative $F$-algebra, where $F$ is a field of characteristic 0, satisfying the following conditions: $R$ is equidimensional of dimension $n$, every residual field with respect to a maximal ideal is an algebraic extension of…
A $\mathbb{Z}^d$-graded differential $R$-module is a $\mathbb{Z}^d$-graded $R$-module $D$ equipped with an endomorphism, $\delta$, that squares to zero. For $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$, this paper establishes a lower bound on the rank of such a…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $A(G)$ its Burnside ring. For $H \subset G$ let $\mathbb{Z}_H$ denote the $A(G)$-module corresponding to the mark homomorphism associated to $H$. When the order of $G$ is square-free we give a complete…
This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…
We call a right module $M$ (strongly) virtually regular if every (finitely generated) cyclic submodule is isomorphic to a direct summand. $M$ is said to be completely virtually regular if every submodule is virtually regular. In this paper,…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $R=\mathbb{K}[x_1,x_2,...x_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over $\mathbb K.$ We study bases of the free $R$-module $W_n(\mathbb{K})$ of all…
Let $k\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. For a commutative ring $R$, the ring of dual numbers of $k$ variables over $R$ is the quotient ring $R[x_1,\ldots,x_k]/ I $, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the set $\{x_ix_j\mid i,j=1,\ldots,k\}$.…
We enumerate all orders in definite quaternion algebras over number fields with the Hermite property; this includes all orders with the cancellation property for locally free modules.
We initiate the study of profinite rigidity for modules over a Noetherian domain: to what extent are these objects determined by their finite images? We establish foundational statements in analogy to classical results in the category of…
We prove that every isometry of between (not-necessarily orthogonal) summands of a unimodular quadratic space over a semiperfect ring can be extended an isometry of the whole quadratic space. The same result was proved by Reiter for the…
The purpose of this paper is to give a partial positive answer to a question raised by Khurana et al. as to whether a ring $R$ with stable range one and central units is commutative. We show that this is the case under any of the following…
Let V be a compact Kahler manifold. Let G' be a commutative subgroup of Aut(V) and U the set of elements of zero entropy of G'. Then U is a group and G' is isomorphic to the direct product of groups U and G where G is a subgroup of G' such…
In this article, we prove the algebraic counterpart of the topological results $H^1(S^1, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$ and $H^1(S^2, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \{0\}$. We also see that a non-trivial element of the algebraic cohomotopy groups of…
It is proved that a module $M$ over a Noetherian local ring $R$ of prime characteristic and positive dimension has finite flat dimension if Tor$_i^R({}^e R, M)=0$ for dim $R$ consecutive positive values of $i$ and infinitely many $e$. Here…
Let R be a commutative noetherian local ring, and let X be a resolving subcategory of the category of finitely generated R-modules. In this paper, we study modules in X by relating them to modules in X which are free on the punctured…
In a previous paper, the third author proved that finite-degree polynomial functors over infinite fields are topologically Noetherian. In this paper, we prove that the same holds for polynomial functors from free $R$-modules to finitely…
We prove Dirichlet's theorem for polynomial rings: Let F be a pseudo algebraically closed field. Then for all relatively prime polynomials a(X), b(X)\in F[X] and for every sufficiently large positive integer n there exist infinitely many…
We study point modules of monomial algebras associated with symbolic dynamical systems, parametrized by proalgebraic varieties which 'linearize' the underlying dynamical systems. Faithful point modules correspond to transitive sub-systems,…
