This paper introduces a categorification of $k$-algebras called 2 -algebras, where k is a commutative ring. We define the 2-algebras as a 2-category with single object in which collections of all 1-morphisms and all 2-morphisms are…

We give a non-abelian analogue of Whitney's 2-isomorphism theorem for graphs. Whitney's theorem states that the cycle space determines a graph up to 2-isomorphism. Instead of considering the cycle space of a graph which is an abelian…

We prove the 2-torus $\mathbb T$, an abelian linear algebraic group, is a fine moduli space of labeled, oriented, possibly-degenerate inscribable similarity classes of triangles, where a triangle is {\it inscribable} if it can be inscribed…

We consider the relationship between hyperbolic cone-manifold structures on surfaces, and algebraic representations of the fundamental group into a group of isometries. A hyperbolic cone-manifold structure on a surface, with all interior…

For an operator bimodule $X$ over von Neumann algebras $A\subseteq\bh$ and $B\subseteq\bk$, the space of all completely bounded $A,B$-bimodule maps from $X$ into $\bkh$, is the bimodule dual of $X$. Basic duality theory is developed with a…

We will start from the beginning and define a matroid and its Orlik-Solomon algebra and holonomy Lie algebra, but first we give some background from topology and cohomology. A (central) hyperplane arrangement is a finite number of subspaces…

We consider an $A$-linear stable infinity-category $\mathcal{C}$ and the pair $(\mathcal{HH}^\bullet(\mathcal{C}/A),\mathcal{HH}_\bullet(\mathcal{C}/A))$ of the Hochschild cohomology spectrum (Hochschild cochain complex) and the Hochschild…

In this paper we give some evidence for the Tate (and Hodge) conjecture(s) for a class of Hilbert modular fourfolds X, whose connected components arise as arithmetic quotients of the fourfold product of the upper half plane by congruence…

Weak morphisms of non-abelian complexes of length 2, or crossed modules, are morphisms of the associated 2-group stacks, or gr-stacks. We present a full description of the weak morphisms in terms of diagrams we call butterflies. We give a…

We give an explicit and calculable algebraic model for the block of rational G-spectra on full subgroups when G has identity component a 2-torus T, and component group of order 2 acting non-trivially on H_1(T). The example of particular…

Given a zero-dimensional Gorenstein algebra $\mathbb{B}$ and two syzygies between two elements $f_1,f_2\in\mathbb{B}$, one constructs a double complex of $\mathbb{B}$-modules, ${\cal G}_\mathbb{B},$ called the small Gobelin. We describe an…

We study the cohomology of certain local systems on moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian surfaces with a level 2 structure. The trace of Frobenius on the alternating sum of the \'etale cohomology groups of these local systems can…

This work builds on earlier work of the first three authors where a notion of congruence modules in higher codimension is introduced. The main new results are a criterion for detecting regularity of local rings in terms of congruence…

The goal of this thesis is to define a 2-dimensional version of abelian categories, where symmetric 2-groups play the role that abelian groups played in 1-dimensional algebra. Abelian and 2-abelian groupoid enriched categories are defined…

We explicitly calculate a projective bimodule resolution for a special biserial algebra giving rise to the Hecke algebra H_q(S_4) when q=-1. We then determine the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology groups.

We study commutative algebras with Gorenstein duality, i.e. algebras $A$ equipped with a non-degenerate bilinear pairing such that $\langle ac,b\rangle=\langle a,bc\rangle$ for any $a,b,c\in A$. If an algebra $A$ is Artinian, such pairing…

A structure theorem is proved for strongly holonomic modules over a quantum torus (a crossed product of a field with a free abelian group in which the field is central). This can be applied to give a structure theorem for finitely presented…

We propose a detailed systematic study of a group H^2_L(A) associated, by elementary means of lazy 2-cocycles, to any Hopf algebra A. This group was introduced by Schauenburg (with a different name) in order to generalize G.I. Kac's exact…

Given a differential graded (dg) symmetric Frobenius algebra $A$ we construct an unbounded complex $\mathcal{D}^{*}(A,A)$, called the Tate-Hochschild complex, which arises as a totalization of a double complex having Hochschild chains as…

We derive and test a novel holographic duality in the B-model topological string theory. The duality relates the B-model on certain Calabi-Yau three-folds to two-dimensional chiral algebras defined as gauged $\beta\gamma\,$ systems. The…
