The fundamental construction underlying descent theory, the lax descent category, comes with a functor that forgets the descent data. We prove that, in any $2$-category $\mathfrak{A} $ with lax descent objects, the forgetful morphisms…

We say that a formal deformation from an algebra $N$ to algebra $A$ is strongly flat if for every real number $e $ there is a real number $0<s<e$ such that this deformation specialised at $t=s$ gives an algebra isomorphic to $A$. We show…

It is shown that, in the variety of ternary rings, the elements of amalgamated free products have unique normal forms, and, moreover, this variety satisfies the strong amalgamation property. Applying these statements, effective codescent…

This document presents the proof that the epimorphisms of the category of Hausdorff spaces are exactly the image dense morphisms. While it is a classical result; its proof is difficult to find in internet. Consequently, I decided to write…

We show that the weakly \'etale morphisms, used to define the pro-\'etale site of a scheme, are characterized by a lifting property similar to the one which characterizes formally \'etale morphisms. In order to prove this, we prove a…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exactness (in the algebraic sense) of certain sequences of continuous group homomorphisms are established.

To every regular category $\mathcal{A}$ equipped with a degree function $\delta$ one can attach a pseudo-abelian tensor category $\mathcal{T}(\mathcal{A},\delta)$. We show that the generating objects of $\mathcal{T}$ decompose canonically…

In the preprint arXiv:2511.07900 we proved that there exists a localizing ring $A_M$ for $A$ an associative ring with unit, and $M=\oplus_{i=1}^rM_i$ a direct sum of $r\geq 1$ simple right $A$-modules. For a homomorphism of associative…

We study admissible subcategories of the bounded derived category of a smooth projective surface that are supported on the exceptional locus of a birational morphism. We prove that if $f:X\to Y$ is a birational morphism of smooth projective…

We call an algebra $A$ commutator-simple if $[A,A]$ does not contain nonzero ideals of $A$. After providing several examples, we show that in these algebras derivations are determined by a condition that is applicable to the study of local…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

We study the dynamics of a class of endomorphisms of A^N which restricts, when N = 1, to the class of unicritical polynomials. Over the complex numbers, we obtain lower bounds on the sum of Lyapunov exponents, and a statement which…

Let $A$ be a ring and $\sigma: A \to A$ a ring endomorphism. A generalized skew (or $\sigma$-)derivation of $A$ is an additive map $d: A \to A$ for which there exists a map $\delta:A \to A$ such that $d(xy)=\delta(x)y+\sigma(x)d(y)$ for all…

We present a new proof of descent for stably dominated types in any theory, dropping the hypothesis of the existence of global invariant extensions. Additionally, we give a much simpler proof of descent for stably dominated types in…

Let G be a torsion free discrete group with a finite dimensional classifying space BG. We show that G has a dual Dirac morphism if and only if a certain coarse (co)-assembly map is an isomorphism. Hence the existence of a dual Dirac…

A classical result of variational analysis, known as Attouch theorem, establishes the equivalence between epigraphical convergence of a sequence of proper convex lower semicontinuous functions and graphical convergence of the corresponding…

It is known that in (regular) unital and in subtractive categories, internal abelian groups are simply behaved; e.g., they are the same as internal algebras $(A,s)$ satisfying $s(x,0)=x$ and $s(x,x)=0$, i.e., \emph{subtraction algebras}.…

Let $C$ and $D$ be smooth, proper and geometrically integral curves over a finite field $F$. Any morphism from $D$ to $C$ induces a morphism of their \'etale fundamental groups. The anabelian philosophy proposed by Grothendieck suggests…

We prove that epimorphisms are surjective in certain categories of ordered F-algebras. It then turns out that epimorphisms are also surjective in the category of all (unordered) algebras of type F.

We consider unbounded curves without endpoints. Isomorphism is equivalence up to translation. Self-avoiding plane-filling curves cannot be periodic, but they can satisfy the local isomorphism property: We obtain a set $\Omega $ of coverings…
