In this article we study the low dimensional homology of the projective linear group $\textrm{PGL}_2(A)$ over a commutative ring $A$. In particular, we prove a Bloch-Wigner type exact sequence over local domains. As applications we prove…

We generalize the idea of a Schur ring of a group to the category of semigroups. Fundamental results of Schur rings over groups are shown to be true for Schur rings over semigroups. Examples where Schur rings differ between the two…

In ``New Proofs of the structure theorems for Witt Rings'', Lewis shows how the standard ring-theoretic results on the Witt ring can be deduced in a quick and elementary way from the fact that the Witt ring of a field is integral and from…

This paper considers a generalisation of the idea of a Hopf algebra in which a commutative ring replaces the field in the unit and counit. It is motivated by an example from the inverse scattering formalism for solitons. We begin with the…

We extend Latimer and MacDuffee's theorem to a general commutative domain and apply this result to study similarity of matrices over integral rings of number fields. We also conjecture similarity over discrete valuation rings can be descent…

We prove the "divisible case" of the Milnor-Bloch-Kato conjecture (which is the first step of Voevodsky's proof of this conjecture for arbitrary prime l) in a rather clear and elementary way. Assuming this conjecture, we construct a 6-term…

We consider the Brauer group ${\rm BM}'(k,G)$ of a group $G$ (finite or infinite) over a commutative ring $k$ with identity. A split exact sequence $$1\longrightarrow {\rm Br}'(k)\longrightarrow {\rm BM}'(k,G)\longrightarrow {\rm Gal}(k,G)…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $T(R)$ its total quotient ring. We extend the notion of well-centered overring of an integral domain to an arbitrary commutative ring and we investigate the transfer of this property to…

The classical Gelfand-Kirillov dimension for algebras over fields has been extended recently by J. Bell and J.J Zhang to algebras over commutative domains. However, the behavior of this new notion has not been enough investigated for the…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

The goal of this paper is to give an explicit formula for the l-adic cohomology of period domains over finite fields for arbitrary reductive groups. The result is a generalisation of the computation in math.AG/9907098 which treats the case…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate \emph{semicorings} over associative semirings and their categories of \emph{semicomodules.} Our results generalize old and recent results on corings over rings and their categories of comodules.…

We study the quasi-endomorphism ring of infinitely definable subgroups in separably closed fields. Based on the results we obtain, we are able to prove a Mordell-Lang theorem for Drinfeld modules of finite characteristic. Using…

Let R be a unit-regular ring, and let a,b,c in R satisfy aba=aca. If ac and ba are group invertible, we prove that ac is similar to ba. Furthermore, if ac and ba are Drazin invertible, then their Drazin inverses are similar. For any n\times…

In this paper, we prove an extension of Zaks' conjecture on integral domains with semi-regular proper homomorphic images (with respect to finitely generated ideals) to arbitrary rings (i.e., possibly with zero-divisors). The main result…

Schur rings are a type of subring of the group ring that is spanned by a partition of the group that meets certain conditions. Past literature has exclusively focused on the finite group case. This paper extends many classic results about…

We study the general linear groups of infinite fields (or more generally connected semi-local rings with infinite residue fields) from the perspective of $E_\infty$-algebras. We prove that there is a vanishing line of slope 2 for their…

In the present paper, we generalize some of the results on Kloosterman sums proven in \cite{BG} for prime moduli to general moduli. This requires to establish the corresponding additive properties of the reciprocal set $$…

We complement our previous computation of the Chow-Witt rings of classifying spaces of special linear groups by an analogous computation for the general linear groups. This case involves discussion of non-trivial dualities. The computation…

Quantizing the motion of particles on a Riemannian manifold in the presence of a magnetic field poses the problems of existence and uniqueness of quantizations. Both of them are settled since the early days of geometric quantization but…
