Let $\check{C}_{\underline{x}}$ denote the \v{C}ech complex with respect to a system of elements $\underline{x} = x_1,\ldots,x_r$ of a commutative ring $R$. We construct a bounded complex $\mathcal{L}_{\underline{x}}$ of free $R$-modules…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra, and let $W$ be a finite subgroup of $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphisms of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$. We show that the derived category of $U(\mathfrak{g})^W$-modules…

The covering number of an associative ring $R$ is the minimal number of proper subrings whose union is $R$. We establish a strategy to classify unital rings of a given finite covering number, and obtain a classification of unital rings…

Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we…

We find a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatisation $\Sigma$ of a structure on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that $\Sigma$ has a unique model in every uncountable…

We prove that a smooth, complex plane curve $C$ of odd degree can be defined by a polynomial with real coefficients if and only if $C$ is isomorphic to its complex conjugate. Counterexamples are known for curves of even degree. More…

Some completely positive maps on reduced amalgamated free products of C*-algebras are constructed; these allow a proof that the class of exact unital C*-algebras is closed under taking reduced amalgamated free products. Consequently, the…

We prove that for every compactum X with dim_Z X <= n >= 2 there is a cell-like resolution r: Z --> X from a compactum Z onto X such that dim Z <= n and for every integer k and every abelian group G such that dim_G X <= k >= 2 we have dim_G…

For a scheme X, we construct a sheaf C of complexes on X such that for every quasi-compact open subset U of X, C(U) is quasi-isomorphic to the Hochschild complex of the scheme U. Since C is moreover acyclic for taking sections on…

For finite coverings we elucidate the interaction between transferred Chern classes and Chern classes of transferred bundles. This involves computing the ring structure for the complex oriented cohomology of various homotopy orbit spaces.…

An important result in tilting theory states that a class of modules over a ring is a tilting class if and only if it is the Ext-orthogonal class to a set of compact modules of bounded projective dimension. Moreover, cotilting classes are…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two, and let $G$ be isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/2\times\mathbb{Z}/2$. Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective irreducible curve over $k$ with a faithful $G$-action, and assume that the…

We introduce notions of {\it upper chernrank} and {\it even cup length} of a finite connected CW-complex and prove that {\it upper chernrank} is a homotopy invariant. It turns out that determination of {\it upper chernrank} of a space $X$…

Let X be a path connected, compact metric space and let A be a unital separable simple nuclear Z-stable real rank zero C*-algebra. We classify all the unital *-embeddings (up to approximate unitary equivalence) of C(X) into A. Specifically,…

Let ${\mathscr P}$ be a topological property. We say that a space $X$ is ${\mathscr P}$-connected if there exists no pair $C$ and $D$ of disjoint cozero-sets of $X$ with non-${\mathscr P}$ closure such that the remainder $X\backslash(C\cup…

In extension theory, in particular in dimension theory, it is frequently useful to represent a given compact metrizable space X as the limit of an inverse sequence of compact polyhedra. We are going to show that, for the purposes of…

We study the C*-algebra crossed-product of the closed unit disk by the action of one of its conformal automorphisms. After classifying the conformal automorphisms up to topological conjugacy, we investigate, for each class, the irreducible…

Suppose $G$ is finitely generated group and $\mathcal{C}(G)$ consists of all $\rho:G\to\operatorname{PGL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ for which there exists a properly convex set in $\mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^n$ that is preserved by $\rho(G)$. Then the…

Given a Hilbert module E over a C*-algebra A, we show that the collection of all bounded A-module operators acting on E forms the reflexive closure for the algebra of the adjointable operators. We also make an observation regarding the…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with unity and $C$ be an $R$-coalgebra. The ring $R$ is clean if every $ r\in R $ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent element of $R$. An $R$-module $M$ is clean if the endomorphism ring of $M$ over $R$ is…
