Based on our previous work on an arithmetic analogue of Christol's theorem, this paper studies in more detail the structure of the lambda-ring $E_K = K \otimes W_{O_K}^a (O_{\bar{K}})$ of algebraic Witt vectors for number fields $K$. First…

Consider an o-minimal structure on the real field. Let $M$ be a definable $C^r$ manifold, where $r$ is a nonnegative integer. We first demonstrate an equivalence of the category of definable $C^r$ vector bundles over $M$ with the category…

We give an especially simple proof of a theorem in graph theory that forms the key part of the solution to a problem in commutative algebra, on how to characterize the integral closure of a polynomial ring generated by quadratic monomials.

The algebra of fourvectors is described. The fourvectors are more appropriate than the Hamilton quaternions for its use in Physics and the sciences in general. The fourvectors embrace the 3D vectors in a natural form. It is shown the…

Let $M$ be an $R$-module and $c$ the function from $M$ to the ideals of $R$ defined by $c(x) = \cap \lbrace I \colon I \text{is an ideal of} R \text{and} x \in IM \rbrace $. $M$ is said to be a content $R$-module if $x \in c(x)M $, for all…

Let $R$ denote the purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebra $L(E)$. We completely determine the pairs of positive integers $(c,d)$ for which there is an isomorphism of matrix rings $M_c(R)\cong M_d(R)$, in terms of the order of…

Let g be a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0 and O be a nilpotent orbit in g. Then Orb is a symplectic algebraic variety and one can ask whether it is possible to quantize $\Orb$ (in an…

Given a perfect valuation ring $R$ of characteristic $p$ that is complete with respect to a rank-$1$ nondiscrete valuation, we show that the ring $\mathbf{A}_{\text{inf}}$ of Witt vectors of $R$ has infinite Krull dimension.

We describe several technical tools that prove to be efficient for investigating the rewrite systems associated with a family of algebraic laws, and might be useful for more general rewrite systems. These tools consist in introducing a…

In this article, we first briefly introduce the history of the Weil-\'etale cohomology theory of arithmetic schemes and review some important results established by Lichtenbaum, Flach and Morin. Next we generalize the Weil-etale cohomology…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Suppose G is a finite group and B is a block of kG with a dihedral defect group D such that there are precisely two…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic zero with residue field $k_K$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G=\Gal(L/K)$ and suppose that the induced extension of residue…

In this paper, we use trace methods to study the algebraic $K$-theory of rings of the form $R[x_1,\ldots, x_d]/(x_1,\ldots, x_d)^2$. We compute the relative $p$-adic $K$ groups for $R$ a perfectoid ring. In particular, we get the integral…

A subtraction-free definition of the big Witt vector construction was recently given by the first author. This allows one to define the big Witt vectors of any semiring. Here we give an explicit combinatorial description of the big Witt…

The present paper deals with the representation theory of the reflection equation algebra, connected with a Hecke type R-matrix. Up to some reasonable additional conditions the R-matrix is arbitrary (not necessary originated from quantum…

Given a Lie superalgebra \g, we introduce several variants of the representation ring, built as subrings and quotients of the ring R_{\Z_2}(\g) of virtual \g-supermodules (up to even isomorphisms). In particular, we consider the ideal…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Suppose G is a finite group and B is a block of kG of infinite tame representation type. We find all finitely…

Let V be a normal affine variety over the real numbers R, and let S be a semi-algebraic subset of V(R). We study the subring B(S) of the coordinate ring of V consisting of the polynomials that are bounded on S. We introduce the notion of…

The explicit formulas of operations, in particular addition and multiplication, of $p $-adic integers are presented. As applications of the results, at first the explicit formulas of operations of Witt vectors with coefficients in…
