A question of interest both in Hopf-Galois theory and in the theory of skew braces is whether the holomorph $\mathrm{Hol(N)}$ of a finite soluble group $N$ can contain an insoluble regular subgroup. We investigate the more general problem…

Toral automorphisms, represented by unimodular integer matrices, are investigated with respect to their symmetries and reversing symmetries. We characterize the symmetry groups of GL(n,Z) matrices with simple spectrum through their…

Let $n$ denote either a positive integer or $\infty$, let $\ell$ be a fixed prime and let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $\ell$. In the presence of sufficiently many roots of unity in $K$, we show how to recover some of the…

We compute the Galois group of the splitting field $F$ of any irreducible and separable polynomial $f(x)=x^6+ax^3+b$ with $a,b\in K$, a field with characteristic different from two. The proofs require to distinguish between two cases:…

Let $G:=SO(2n)$ be the even special orthogonal group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $M_{2n}^+$ (resp. $M_{2n}^-$) be the space of symmetric (resp. skew-symmetric) complex matrices with respect to the usual transposition. We study the structure…

Let $G$ be the classical group, and let Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ denote the space of commuting $m$-tuples in $G$. First, we refine the formula for the Poincar\'e series of Hom$(\mathbb{Z}^m,G)$ due to Ramras and Stafa by assigning (signed)…

We study from an algebraic point of view the question of extending an action of a group \(\Gamma\) on a commutative domain \(R\) to a formal pseudodifferential operator ring \(B=R(\!(x\,;\,d)\!)\) with coefficients in \(R\), as well as to…

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…

Let $\Gamma$ be either i) the absolute Galois group of a local field $F$, or ii) the topological fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g$. In case i), assume that $\mu_{p^2} \subset F$. We give an elementary…

The Deligne-Simpson problem in the multiplicative version is formulated like this: {\em give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $C_j\in SL(n,{\bf C})$ so that there exist irreducible $(p+1)$-tuples…

We prove that continuous spectrum- and commutativity-preserving maps to $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ from the space of normal (real or complex) $n\times n$, $n\ge 3$ matrices with spectra contained in a given continuous-injection interval…

We construct invariant quasimorphisms for groups acting on the circle. Furthermore, we provide a criterion for the non-extendablity of the resulting quasimorphisms and an explicit formula which relates the values of our quasimorphisms to…

Let $K$ be a $C_1$-field of any characteristic and $X$ a projective variety over $K$. In this article we prove that for a finite Galois extension $L$ of $K$, a simple sheaf with covering datum on $X \times_K L$ descends to a simple sheaf on…

Let $X$ be a smooth, separated, geometrically connected scheme defined over a number field $K$ and $\{\rho_\lambda\}_\lambda$ a system of n-dimensional semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale fundamental group of $X$ such…

Let F be a local field of character zero. Let E be a quadratic field extension of F. We show that any P-invariant linear functional on a GL(n,E)-distinguished irreducible smooth admissible representation of GL(2n,F) is also…

We describe a MATLAB program that could produce a negative answer to the Gerstenhaber Problem by the construction of three commuting $n \times n$ matrices $A,B,C$ over a field $F$ such that the subalgebra $F[A,B,C]$ they generate has…

Let $L$ be a Galois algebra with Galois group $G$ and let $x$ be a normal element of $L$. The moduli space $\mathcal X$ of pairs $(L,x)$ is isomorphic to an open subset of the quotient variety $\mathbb P/G$, where $\mathbb P$ is the…

We study a class of matrices with noncommutative entries, which were first considered by Yu. I. Manin in 1988 in relation with quantum group theory. They are defined as "noncommutative endomorphisms" of a polynomial algebra. More explicitly…

We prove that the polynomial invariants of a permutation group are Cohen-Macaulay for any choice of coefficient field if and only if the group is generated by transpositions, double transpositions, and 3-cycles. This unites and generalizes…

Let K be a field admitting a cyclic Galois extension of degree n. The main result of this paper is a decomposition theorem for the space of alternating bilinear forms defined on a vector space of odd dimension n over K. We show that this…
