Let $L$ be a finite dimensional Lie $F$-algebra endowed with a generalized action by an associative algebra $H$. We investigate the exponential growth rate of the sequence of $H$-graded codimensions $c_n^H(L)$ of $L$ which is a measure for…

The maximum extensions of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras are considered. In particular, it is proved that in the general case such an extension is not unique, which refutes one L. Snoble's assumption.

In this work we study the structure of finitely generated groups for which a space of harmonic functions with fixed polynomial growth is finite dimensional. It is conjectured that such groups must be virtually nilpotent (the converse…

Given a prime $p$, a number field $\K$ and a finite set of places $S$ of $\K$, let $\K_S$ be the maximal pro-$p$ extension of $\K$ unramified outside $S$. Using the Golod-Shafarevich criterion one can often show that $\K_S/\K$ is infinite.…

The problem of analyzing the number of number field extensions $L/K$ with bounded (relative) discriminant has been the subject of renewed interest in recent years, with significant advances made by Schmidt, Ellenberg-Venkatesh, Bhargava,…

A dichotomy for expansions of the real field is established: Either the set of integers is definable or every nonempty bounded nowhere dense definable subset of the real numbers has Minkowski dimension zero.

An extension $K/k$ of analytic (i.e. real valued complete) fields is called small if it is topologically-algebraically generated by finitely many elements. We prove that this property is inherited by subextensions and hence topological…

We study the growth of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. For this purpose we associate a graded algebra to the set, and address all kinds of questions about finite generation. We show that for a certain class of sets, the algebra is…

We deal with Dirichlet problems of the form $$ \Delta u+f(u)=0 \mbox{ in }\Omega,\qquad u=0\ \mbox{ on }\partial \Omega $$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 3$, and $f$ has supercritical growth from the viewpoint…

Let $X$ be a finite simply connected CW complex of dimension $n$. The loop space homology $H\_*(\Omega X;\mathbb Q)$ is the universal enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra $L\_X$ isomorphic with $ pi\_{*-1} (X)\otimes \mathbb Q$. Let…

We introduce a new construction of matrix wreath products of algebras that is similar to wreath products of groups. We then use it to prove embedding theorems for Jacobson radical, nil, and primitive algebras. In \S\ref{Section6}, we…

A technique is developed to reduce the investigation of Nichols algebras of integrable U_q(g)-modules to the investigation of Nichols algebras of braided vector spaces with diagonal braiding. The results are applied to obtain information on…

Let $X$ be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$ and $f$ a quasi-unipotent automorphism of $X$. When $\mathbf{k}$ is the field of complex numbers, Lin, Oguiso, and D.-Q. Zhang provide an explicit formula for the…

Let K \subset L be a field extension. Given K-subspaces A,B of L, we study the subspace spanned by the product set AB = {ab | a \in A, b \in B}. We obtain some lower bounds on the dimension of this subspace and on dim B^n in terms of dim A,…

Consider the special linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\mathbb {K})$ over an infinite field of characteristic different from $2$. We prove that for any nonzero nilpotent $X$ there exists a nilpotent $Y$ such that the matrices $X$ and $Y$…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We survey some results on algebras of finite global dimension and address some open problems.

Let $K[x,y]$ be the polynomial algebra in two variables over an algebraically closed field $K$. We generalize to the case of any characteristic the result of Furter that over a field of characteristic zero the set of automorphisms $(f,g)$…

We consider the infinite dimensional Grassmann algebra E over a field F of characteristic 0 or p, where p>2, and we compute its Z_2-graded Gelfand-Kirillov dimension as a Z_2-graded PI-algebra.

We prove that every pre-Nichols algebra of a nondiagonal object in the twisted Yetter-Drinfeld category ${_{\k G}^{\k G} {\mathcal{YD}^\Phi}}$ has infinite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension, where $G$ is a finite abelian group and $\Phi$ is a…

We prove super-quadratic lower bounds for the growth of the filling area function of a certain class of Carnot groups. This class contains groups for which it is known that their Dehn function grows no faster than $n^2\log n$. We therefore…
