We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group which is the unit group of a ring, then $G$ is isomorphic to either (a) a cyclic group of order 2; (b) a cyclic group of prime order $2^k -1$ for some $k$; or (c) a projective special linear…

We prove that the only separable commutative ring-objects in the stable module category of a finite cyclic p-group G are the ones corresponding to subgroups of G. We also describe the tensor-closure of the Kelly radical of the module…

Let G be a finite group, and let B be a non-nilpotent block of G with respect to an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. Suppose that B has an elementary abelian defect group of order 16 and only one simple module. The main…

Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…

In this paper, a family of non-weight modules over Lie superalgebras $S(q)$ of Block type are studied. Free $U(\eta)$-modules of rank $1$ over Ramond-Block algebras and free $U(\mathfrak{h})$-modules of rank $2$ over Neveu-Schwarz-Block…

Let $p$ be a prime and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ the ring of $p$-adic integers. Let $G$ denote the simple group of order 168, 504 or 360. In this paper, we study the structure of the $\chi$-part of a $\mathbb{Z}_p[\mathrm{Im}(\chi)][G]$-module come…

In this article we study the vertices of simple modules for the symmetric groups in prime characteristic $p$. In particular, we complete the classification of the vertices of simple $S_n$-modules labelled by hook partitions.

We introduce a complete radical formula for modules over non-commutative rings which is the equivalence of a radical formula in the setting of modules defined over commutative rings. This gives a general frame work through which known…

We develop abstract nonsense for module categories over monoidal categories (this is a straightforward categorification of modules over rings). As applications we show that any semisimple monoidal category with finitely many simple objects…

We show that the mod $\ell$ cohomology of any finite group of Lie type in characteristic $p$ different from $\ell$ admits the structure of a module over the mod $\ell$ cohomology of the free loop space of the classifying space $BG$ of the…

We survey noetherian rings $A$ over which the injective hull of every simple module is locally artinian. Then we give a general construction for algebras $A$ that do not have this property. In characteristic 0, we also complete the…

In this paper, I show that if $p$ is an odd prime, and if $P$ is a finite $p$-group, then there exists an exact sequence of abelian groups $$0\to T(P)\to D(P)\to\lproj{P}\to H^1\big(\apdeux(P),\Z\big)^{(P)},$$ where $D(P)$ is the Dade group…

Let p be prime. A noncommutative p-solenoid is the C*-algebra of Z[1/p] x Z[1/p] twisted by a multiplier of that group, where Z[1/p] is the additive subgroup of the field Q of rational numbers whose denominators are powers of p. In this…

We classify semisimple module categories over the tensor category of representations of quantum SL(2) extending previous results to the roots of unity and positive characteristic cases.

For any grading by an abelian group $G$ on the exceptional simple Lie algebra $\mathcal{L}$ of type $E_6$ or $E_7$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we compute the graded Brauer invariants of simple…

Pursuing a generalization of group symmetries of modular categories to category symmetries in topological phases of matter, we study linear Hopf monads. The main goal is a generalization of extension and gauging group symmetries to category…

We investigate simple endotrivial modules of finite quasi-simple groups and classify them in several important cases. This is motivated by a recent result of Robinson showing that simple endotrivial modules of most groups come from…

We show that the coordinate ring of the Vinberg monoid of a simply connected semisimple complex group is an upper cluster algebra. As an application, we construct cluster structures on a large class of flat reductive monoids. After…

Consider a finite group $G$ acting on a graded Noetherian $k$-algebra $S$, for some field $k$ of characteristic $p$; for example $S$ might be a polynomial ring. Regard $S$ as a $kG$-module and consider the multiplicity of a particular…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over a field of positive characteristic $p$ and denote by $\mathcal T$ the category of tilting modules for $G$. The higher Jones algebras are the endomorphism algebras of objects in the…
