We show that, for many choices of finite tuples of generators $X = (x_1, \dots , x_d)$ of a tracial von Neumann algebra $(M, \tau)$ satisfying certain decomposition properties (non-primeness, possessing a Cartan subalgebra, or property…
We consider the preservation of properties of being finitely generated, being finitely presented and being residually finite under direct products in the context of different types of algebraic structures. The structures considered include…
We introduce an associative algebra $A^{\infty}(V)$ using infinite matrices with entries in a grading-restricted vertex algebra $V$ such that the associated graded space $Gr(W)=\coprod_{n\in \mathbb{N}}Gr_{n}(W)$ of a filtration of a…
We prove that if a Cartesian product of alternating groups is topologically finitely generated, then it is the profinite completion of a finitely generated residually finite group. The same holds for Cartesian producs of other simple groups…
Relative property (T) has recently been used to construct a variety of new rigidity phenomena, for example in von Neumann algebras and the study of orbit-equivalence relations. However, until recently there were few examples of group pairs…
In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the factorization of a closed, in general, unbounded operator $T=AB$ into a product of two nonnegative selfadjoint operators $A$ and $B.$ Already the special case, where…
We find restrictions on the topology of tropical varieties that arise from a certain natural class of varieties. We develop a theory of tropical degenerations that is a nonconstant coefficient analogue of Tevelev's theory of tropical…
Given an associative graded algebra equipped with a degree +1 differential we define an A-infinity structure that measures the failure of the differential to be a derivation. This can be seen as a non-commutative analog of generalized…
In this paper we investigate some Mal'cev classes of varieties of left-quasigroups. We prove that the weakest Mal'cev condition for a variety of left-quasigroup is having a Mal'cev term. Then we specialize to the setting of quandles for…
We construct an invariant of t-structures on the derived category of a Noetherian ring. This invariant is complete when restricting to the category of quasi-coherent complexes, and also gives a classification of nullity classes with the…
A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…
A distinguished variety in the polydisc $\mathbb D^n$ is an affine complex algebraic variety that intersects $\mathbb D^n$ and exits the domain through the $n$-torus $\mathbb T^n$ without intersecting any other part of the topological…
We give two examples of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group and a subset, closed in the profinite topology of a free group, such that their product is not closed in the profinite topology of a free group.
We construct a finitely presented group with property (T) which can not act on on reasonable spaces. Such group is constructed using an generalization of Hall embedding theorem, where property (T) is added at the expense of weakening the…
We extend the theory of atomized semilattices to the infinite setting. We show that it is well-defined and that every semilattice is atomizable. We also study atom redundancy, focusing on complete and finitely generated semilattices and…
We define the associated variety $ X_{M} $ of a module $ M $ over a finite-dimensional superalgebra $ {\mathfrak g} $, and show how to extract information about $ M $ from these geometric data. $ X_{M} $ is a subvariety of the cone $ X $ of…
If ${\cal D}$ is a definable category then it may contain no nonzero finitely presented modules but, by a result of Makkai, there is a $\varinjlim$-generating set of strictly ${\cal D}$-atomic modules. These modules share some key…
We isolate a new class of ultrafilters on N, called "quasi-selective" because they are intermediate between selective ultrafilters and P-points. (Under the Continuum Hypothesis these three classes are distinct.) The existence of…
We give a simple construction of new, complete, finite volume manifolds $M$ of bounded, nonpositive curvature. These manifolds have ends that look like a mixture of locally symmetric ends of different ranks and their fundamental groups are…
Let $A$ be a connected commutative $\C$-algebra with derivation $D$, $G$ a finite linear automorphism group of $A$ which preserves $D$, and $R=A^G$ the fixed point subalgebra of $A$ under the action of $G$. We show that if $A$ is generated…
