We investigate the Galois coverings of piecewise algebras and more particularly their behaviour under derived equivalences. Under a technical assumption which is satisfied if the algebra is derived equivalent to a hereditary algebra, we…

We prove that a quasi-finite endomorphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, that is injective on the complement of a closed subvariety, is an automorphism. We also prove that an endomorphism…

A variety V is said to be coherent if any finitely generated subalgebra of a finitely presented member of V is finitely presented. It is shown here that V is coherent if and only if it satisfies a restricted form of uniform deductive…

This note consists of three unrelated remarks. First, we demonstrate how roughly speaking $*$-homomorphisms between matrix stable $C^*$-algebras are exactly the uniformly continuous $*$-preserving group homomorphisms between their genral…

An amorphic association scheme has the property that any of its fusion is also an association scheme. In this paper we generalize the property to be amorphic to an arbitrary C-algebra and prove that any amorphic C-algebra is determined up…

Let $A$ be a Noetherian ring and let $I$ be an ideal in $A$. Let $\mathcal{F} = \{ J_n \}_{n \geq 0}$ be a multiplicative filtration of ideals in $A$ such that $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{F}) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0} J_n$ is a finitely generated…

We study the locus of the liftings of a homogeneous ideal $H$ in a polynomial ring over any field. We prove that this locus can be endowed with a structure of scheme $\mathrm L_H$ by applying the constructive methods of Gr\"obner bases, for…

We show in this paper that every domain in a separable Hilbert space, say $\cH$, which has a $C^2$ smooth strongly pseudoconvex boundary point at which an automorphism orbit accumulates is biholomorphic to the unit ball of $\cH$. This is…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $E\colon A \to A$ a conditional expectation. The Kadison-Schwarz inequality for completely positive maps, $$E(x)^*E(x) \leq E(x^* x),$$ implies that $$ \|E(x)\|^2 \leq \|E(x^* x)\|.$$ In this note we show that…

Let R be a regular, local and F-finite ring defined over a field of finite characteristic. Let I be an ideal of height c with normal quotient $A=R/I$. It is shown that the local cohomology module H^c_I(R) contains a unique simple…

We prove that if $\rho: A(H) \to B(G)$ is a homomorphism between the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group $H$ and the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a locally compact group $G$ induced by a mixed piecewise affine map $\alpha : G \to H$,…

We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…

In this paper, we introduce a unitary invariant $\Gamma$ defined on the unit ball of $B(H)^n$ in terms of the characteristic function, the noncommutative Poisson kernel, and the defect operator associated with a row contraction. We show…

Motivated by the study of von Neumann regular skew groups as carried out by Alfaro, Ara and del Rio in 1995 we investigate regular and biregular Hopf module algebras. If $A$ is an algebra with an action by an affine Hopf algebra $H$, then…

A graph $H$ is said to be positive if the homomorphism density $t_H(G)$ is non-negative for all weighted graphs $G$. The positive graph conjecture proposes a characterisation of such graphs, saying that a graph is positive if and only if it…

Absolute continuity implies uniform continuity, but generally not vice versa. In this short note, we present one sufficient condition for a uniformly continuous function to be absolutely continuous, which is the following theorem: For a…

We prove that every C1 diffeomorphism away from homoclinic tangencies is entropy expansive, with locally uniform expansivity constant. Consequently, such diffeomorphisms satisfy Shub's entropy conjecture: the entropy is bounded from below…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a closed connected subgroup. Assume that the order of any torsion element in the integral cohomology of $G$ and $K$ is invertible in a given principal ideal domain $k$. It is known that in…

Attractor-repeller decompositions of isolated invariant sets give rise to so-called connecting homomorphisms. These homomorphisms reveal information on the existence and structure of connecting trajectories of the underlying dynamical…

Given a variety of universal algebras. A method is suggested for describing automorphisms of a category of free algebras of this variety. Applying this general method all automorphisms of such categories are found in two cases: 1) for the…
