The formal degree conjecture relates the formal degree of an irreducible square-integrable representation of a reductive group over a local field to the special value of the adjoint $\gamma$-factor of its $L$-parameter. In this paper, we…

Given a central simple algebra with involution over an arbitrary field, \'etale subalgebras contained in the space of symmetric elements are investigated. The method emphasizes the similarities between the various types of involutions and…

In this paper we introduce the notion of relative Kodaira dimension for a symplectic 4-manifold M with a possibly disconnected embedded symplectic surface F. One notable feature is that the sphere components of F have to be discarded, which…

We study the minimal number of existential quantifiers needed to define a diophantine set over a field and relate this number to the essential dimension of the functor of points associated to such a definition.

Let X be a complex projective curve which is smooth and irreducible of genus 2. The moduli space M_2 of semistable symplectic vector bundles of rank 4 over X is a variety of dimension 10. After assembling some results on vector bundles of…

We describe the ring of invariants for the finite orthogonal groups in odd dimension and even characteristic acting on the defining representation. We construct a minimal algebra generating set and describe the relations among the…

We consider from a geometric point of view the conjectural fundamental lemma of Langlands and Shelstad for unitary groups over a local field of positive characteristic. We introduce projective algebraic varieties over the finite residue…

Various aspects of orbifolds and cosets of the small $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal algebra are studied. First, we determine minimal strong generators for generic and specific levels. As a corollary, we obtain the vertex algebra of global…

There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…

We show that the term equivalence between MV-algebras and MV-semirings lifts to involutive residuated lattices and a class of semirings called \textit{involutive semirings}. The semiring perspective helps us find a necessary and sufficient…

We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

We prove that any real Lie group of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat projective structure. We also prove that a real Lie group L of dimension \leq 5 admits a left invariant flat affine structure if and only if the Lie algebra…

Let H denote a semisimple Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. We show that the degree of any irreducible representation of H whose character belongs to the center of H^* must divide the dimension of H .

In this paper, we prove that the fundamental group of a simplicial complex is isomorphic to the algebraic fundamental group of its incidence algebra, and we derive some applications.

We introduce a notion of essential hyperbolic Coxeter polytope as a polytope which fits some minimality conditions. The problem of classification of hyperbolic reflection groups can be easily reduced to classification of essential Coxeter…

Let p be a prime, k be a field of characteristic different from p containing a primitive p-th root of unity and N be the normalizer of the maximal torus in the projective linear group PGLn. We compute the exact value of the essential…

This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…

We consider the class of algebras of rank 4 equipped with a standard involution over an arbitrary base ring. In particular, we characterize quaternion rings, those algebras defined by the construction of the even Clifford algebra.

In this paper, we define and study a notion of Ding projective dimension for complexes of left modules over associative rings. In particular, we consider the class of homologically bounded below complexes of left R-modules, and show that…

Mean dimension for AH-algebras is introduced. It is shown that if a simple unital AH-algebra with diagonal maps has mean dimension zero, then it has strict comparison on positive elements. In particular, the strict order on projections is…
