Let $R$ be a (not necessarily commutative) ring whose additive group is finitely generated and let $U_n(R) \subset GL_n(R)$ be the group of upper-triangular unipotent matrices over $R$. We study how the homology groups of $U_n(R)$ vary with…

This article deals with universal deformations of dihedral representations with a particular focus on the question when the universal deformation is dihedral. Results are obtained in three settings: (1) representation theory, (2) algebraic…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…

We study different types of localisations of a commutative noetherian ring. More precisely, we provide criteria to decide: (a) if a given flat ring epimorphism is a universal localisation in the sense of Cohn and Schofield; and (b) when…

The spherical principal series representations $\pi(\nu)$ of SL(2,$\mathbb R$) is a family of infinite dimensional representations parametrized by $\nu\in\mathbb C$. The representation $\pi(\nu)$ is irreducible unless $\nu$ is an odd…

Let k denote a perfect field of characteristic 5. We show that the versal deformation ring of an element of order 5 and Hasse conductor 2 as automorphism of a ring of formal power series k[[t]] computed by Bertin and Mezard, is in fact…

We distinguish a class of irreducible finite representations of conformal Lie (super)algebras. These representations (called universally defined) are the simplest ones from the computational point of view: a universally defined…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I\subset R$ be a nilpotent ideal such that the quotient $R/I$ splits out of $R$ as a ring. Let $N$ be a natural number such that ${I^N=0}$. We establish a canonical isomorphism between the relative Milnor…

In this study, it is proven that the universal equivalence of general linear groups (admitting the inverse-transpose automorphism) of orders greater than $2$, over local, not necessarily commutative rings with $1/2$, is equivalent to the…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Lindo and Pande have recently posed the question asking when every ideal of R is isomorphic to some trace ideal of R. This paper studies this question and gives several answers. In particular, a…

In a recent paper, the author proved that if $n\geq 3$ is a natural number, $R$ a commutative ring and $\sigma\in GL_n(R)$, then $t_{kl}(\sigma_{ij})$ where $i\neq j$ and $k\neq l$ can be expressed as a product of $8$ matrices of the form…

We study the general solution of the Yang-Baxter equation with deformed $sl(2)$ symmetry. The universal R operator acting on tensor products of arbitrary representations is obtained in spectral decomposition and in integral forms. The…

The aim of this article is to study the existence of certain reducible, metabelian representations of knot groups into $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbf{C})$ which generalise the representations studied previously by G.~Burde and G.~de Rham. Under…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local Noetherian ring with residue field $k$. While much is known about the generating sets of reductions of ideals of $R$ if $k$ is infinite, the case in which $k$ is finite is less well understood. We…

Let R^univ be the universal deformation ring of a residual representation of a local Galois group. Kisin showed that many loci in MaxSpec(R^univ[1/p]) of interest are Zariski closed, and gave a way to study the generic fiber of the…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field of any characteristic and let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-algebra. We prove that if $V$ is a finite dimensional right $\Lambda$-module that lies in the mouth of a stable homogeneous tube…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-algebra, and let $V$ be a finitely generated $\Lambda$-module. F. M. Bleher and the third author previously proved that $V$ has a…

Given a continuous, odd, semi-simple $2$-dimensional representation of $G_{\mathbb{Q},Np}$ over a finite field of odd characteristic $p$ and a prime $\ell$ not dividing $Np$, we study the relation between the universal deformation rings of…

We study the complex irreducible representations of special linear, symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups over principal ideal local rings of length two. We construct a canonical correspondence between the irreducible representations of…

We establish that all rings of $S$-integers are universally definable in function fields in one variable over certain ground fields including global and non-archimedean local fields. That is, we show that the complement of such a ring of…
