Let $B$ be a central simple algebra of degree $n$ over a number field $K$, and $L\subset B$ a strictly maximal subfield. We say that the ring of integers $\mathcal O_L$ is "selective" if there exists an isomorphism class of maximal orders…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring, let $\mathfrak a$ be an ideal of $A$ and let $n$ be a non-negative integer. In this paper, we study $\mathcal{S}_{n}(\mathfrak{a})$, a certain class of $A$-modules and we find some sufficient…

We extend the notion of type sequence to rings that are not necessarily residually rational. Using this invariant we characterize different types of rings as almost Gorenstein rings and rings of maximal length.

We classify indecomposable pure injective modules over domestic string algebras, verifying Ringel's conjecture on the structure of such modules.

The classification of local Artinian Gorenstein algebras is equivalent to the study of orbits of a certain non-reductive group action on a polynomial ring. We give an explicit formula for the orbits and their tangent spaces. We apply our…

We study local centrally essential subalgebras in the algebra of all upper triangular matrices over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$. It is proved that the algebras of upper triangular $3\times 3$ or $4\times 4$ matrices have only…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the complex numbers. The notion of the Clifford index of $C$ was extended a few years ago to semistable bundles of any rank. Recent work has been focussed mainly on the…

Let $R$ be a finitely generated positively graded algebra over a Noetherian local ring $B$, and $\mathfrak{m} = [R]_+$ be the graded irrelevant ideal of $R$. We provide a local criterion characterizing the $B$-freeness of all the local…

Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…

We generalise a classic result of Rees to characterise analytically unramified local rings using Rees algebras of modules.

For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = End_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can…

We consider quotients of the group algebra of the $3$-string braid group $B_3$ by $p$-th order generic polynomial relations on the elementary braids. In cases $p=2,3,4,5$ these quotient algebras are finite dimensional. We give…

We establish that for q>=1, the class of convex combinations of q translates of a smooth probability density has local doubling dimension proportional to q. The key difficulty in the proof is to control the local geometric structure of…

We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying…

Graded skew-commutative rings occur often in practice. Here are two examples: 1) The cohomology ring of a compact three-dimensional manifold. 2) The cohomology ring of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement (the Orlik-Solomon algebra).…

Consider a local chain Differential Graded algebra, such as the singular chain complex of a pathwise connected topological group. In two previous papers, a number of homological results were proved for such an algebra: An Amplitude…

Let B be a ring and $A=B[X,Y]/(aX^2+bXY+cY^2-1)$ where $a,b,c\in B$. We study the smoothness of A over B, and the regularity of B when B is a ring of algebraic integers.

We improve results of Baouendi, Rothschild and Treves and of Hill and Nacinovich by finding a much weaker sufficient condition for a CR manifold of type $(n,k)$ to admit a local CR embedding into a CR manifold of type $(n+\ell,k-\ell)$.…

All known Moufang sets arise, in some way or another, from an algebraic structure which can be called `division' in some way. In this PhD dissertation, I made an attempt to develop a theory of local Moufang sets, which generalize Moufang…
