Let $p$ be a prime number, $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $K$ be a field of characteristic $p$. The Modular Isomorphism Problem (MIP) asks whether the group algebra $KG$ determines the group $G$. Dealing with MIP, we investigated a question…

Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…

Recent progress in the deformation theory of Calabi-Yau varieties $Y$ with canonical singularities has highlighted the key role played by the higher Du Bois and higher rational singularities, and especially by the so-called $k$-liminal…

It is known that every 3-dimensional noetherian Calabi-Yau algebra generated in degree 1 is isomorphic to a Jacobian algebra of a superpotential. Recently, S. P. Smith and the first author classified all superpotentials whose Jacobian…

Buan, Iyama, Reiten and Smith proved that cluster-tilting objects in triangulated 2-Calabi--Yau categories are closely connected with mutation of quivers with potentials over an algebraically closed field. We prove a more general statement…

We prove that the function field of an algebraic variety of dimension greater than 1 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is determined by its first and second Milnor K-groups.

We present a non-standard proof of the fact that the existence of a local (i.e. restricted to a point) characteristic-zero, semi-parametric lifting for a variety defined by the zero locus of polynomial equations over the integers is…

The strong factorization conjecture states that a proper birational map between smooth algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero can be factored as a sequence of smooth blowups followed by a sequence of smooth blowdowns. We…

We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we…

We propose a new notion of positivity for topological field theories (TFTs), based on S. Eilenberg's concept of completeness for semirings. We show that a complete ground semiring, a system of fields on manifolds and a system of action…

Let $U$ and $V$ be two independent $N$ by $N$ random matrices that are distributed according to Haar measure on $U(N)$. Let $\Sigma$ be a non-negative deterministic $N$ by $N$ matrix. The single ring theorem [26] asserts that the empirical…

Spectrum is an important numerical invariant of an isolated hypersurface singularity, connecting its topological and analytic structures. The well-known Hertling conjecture tells the relation of range and variance of exponents i.e. elements…

The Isomorphism Conjecture is a conceptional approach towards a calculation of the algebraic K-theory of a group ring RG, where G is an infinite group. In this paper we prove the conjecture in dimensions n<2 for fundamental groups of closed…

Determinantal singularities are an important class of singularities, generalizing complete intersections, which recently have seen a large amount of interest. They are defined as preimage of $M^{t}_{m,n}$ the sets of matrices of rank less…

The Milnor formula $\mu=2\delta-r+1$ relates the Milnor number $\mu$, the double point number $\delta$ and the number $r$ of branches of a plane curve singularity. It holds over the fields of characteristic zero. Melle and Wall based on a…

When $A=3$, the positive integral solutions of the so-called Markoff equation $$M_A:x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = Axyz$$ can be generated from the single solution $(1,1,1)$ by the action of certain automorphisms of the hypersurface. Since Markoff's…

Let $A$ be an Artinian Gorenstein algebra over an infinite field $k$ with either $\hbox{char}(k)=0$ or $\hbox{char}(k)>\nu$, where $\nu$ is the socle degree of $A$. To every such algebra and a linear projection $\pi$ on its maximal ideal…
