We develop a theory of higher order structures in compact abelian groups. In the frame of this theory we prove general inverse theorems and regularity lemmas for Gowers's uniformity norms. We put forward an algebraic interpretation of the…

Cell structures were introduced by W. Debski and E. Tymchatyn as a way to study some classes of topological spaces and their continuous functions by means of discrete approximations. In this work we weaken the notion of cell structure and…

We solve the problem of extension of characters of commutative subalgebras in associative (noncommutative) algebras for a class of subrings (Galois orders) in skew group rings. These results can be viewed as a noncommutative analogue of…

The central extension of mapping class groups of punctured surfaces of finite type that arises in Chekhov-Fock quantization is 12 times of the Meyer class plus the Euler classes of the punctures, which agree with the one arising in the…

The Central Sets Theorem, a fundamental result in Ramsey theory, is a joint extension of both Hindman's theorem and van der Waerden's theorem. It was originally introduced by H. Furstenberg using methods from topological dynamics. Later,…

The aim of this paper is to study co-prolongations of central extensions. We construct the obstruction theory for co-prolongations and classify the equivalence classes of these by kernels of a homomorphisms between 2-dimensional cohomology…

We study Pythagorean hyperplane arrangements, originally defined by Zaslavsky. In this first part of a series on such arrangements, we introduce a new notion of genericity for such arrangements. Using this notion we construct an auxiliary…

Protoadditive functors are designed to replace additive functors in a non-abelian setting. Their properties are studied, in particular in relationship with torsion theories, Galois theory, homology and factorisation systems. It is shown how…

We consider exact sequences and lower central series of surface braid groups and we explain how they can prove to be useful for obtaining representations for surface braid groups. In particular, using a completely algebraic framework, we…

In this paper, we refine the notion of Z-boundaries of groups introduced by Bestvina and further developed by Dranishnikov. We then show that the standard assumption of finite-dimensionality can be omitted as the result follows from the…

The notion of a weakly Mal'tsev category, as it was introduced in 2008 by the third author, is a generalization of the classical notion of a Mal'tsev category. It is well-known that a variety of universal algebras is a Mal'tsev category if…

We analyse some aspects of the notion of algebraic exponentiation introduced by the second author [16] and satisfied by the category of groups. We show how this notion provides a new approach to the categorical-algebraic question of the…

We explore the relationship between the category of MV-algebras and its full subcategories of perfect and semisimple algebras, showing that this pair of subcategories defines a pretorsion theory. We study the Galois structure associated…

Motivated by appearance of multisemigroups in the study of additive $2$-categories, we define and investigate the notion of a multisemigroup with multiplicities. This notion seems to be better suitable for applications in higher…

We compare several definitions of the Galois group of a linear difference equation that have arisen in algebra, analysis and model theory and show, that these groups are isomorphic over suitable fields. In addition, we study properties of…

T. Saito established a ramification theory for ring extensions locally of complete intersection. We show that for a Henselian valuation ring $A$ with field of fractions $K$ and for a finite Galois extension $L$ of $K$, the integral closure…

Let $D$ be a 2-dimensional closed unit disk and $\rm{Symp}(D,0)_{\rm{rel}}$ the group of symplectomorphisms preserving the origin and the boundary $\partial D$ pointwise. We consider the $\mathbb{R}$-valued flux homomorphism on…

To give characterizations of monotonically countably paracompact spaces with set-valued maps, Yamazaki [22] introduced the notion of strictly increasing closed cover of a topological space with which the boundedness of a set-valued map was…

We extend to the context of algebraic groups a classic result on extensions of abstract groups relating the set of isomorphism classes of extensions of $G$ by $H$ with that of extensions of $G$ by the center $Z$ of $H$. The proof should be…

We consider the maximal central extension of the supertranslation algebra in d=4 and 3, which includes tensor central charges associated to topological defects such as domain walls (membranes) and strings. We show that for all N-extended…
