We show that if a field k contains sufficiently many elements(for instance, if k is infinite), and K is an algebraically closed field containing k, then every linear algebraic k-group over K is k-isomorphic to Aut(A\otimes_kK), where A is a…

We prove that two finite-dimensional commutative algebras over an algebraically closed field are isomorphic if and only if they give rise to isomorphic representations of the category of finite sets and surjective maps.

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

We give complete, finite quasiequational axiomatisations for algebras of unary partial functions under the operations of composition, domain, antidomain, range and intersection. This completes the extensive programme of classifying algebras…

A set $B$ is a basis for a vector space $V$ if every element of $V$ can be uniquely written as a linear combination of the elements of $B$. There is a similar definition of a basis for a finite group. We show that certain semidirect…

We define quasi-Frobenius semigroups and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which a semigroup algebra of a 0-cancellative semigroup is quasi-Frobenius.

We show that if a flat group scheme acts properly, with finite stabilizers, on an algebraic space, then a quotient exists as a separated algebraic space. More generally we show any flat groupid for which the family of stabilizers is finite…

We call a finitely complete category algebraically coherent when the change-of-base functors of its fibration of points are coherent, which means that they preserve finite limits and jointly strongly epimorphic pairs of arrows. We give…

We give finite axiomatizations for the varieties generated by representable domain--range algebras when the semigroup operation is interpreted as angelic or demonic composition, respectively.

Let $A$ be a pseudocompact (or profinite) algebra, so $A=C^*$ where $C$ is a coalgebra. We show that the if the semiartinian part (the "Dickson" part) of every $A$-module $M$ splits off in $M$, then $A$ is semiartinian, also giving a…

Let K be the quotient field of a complete local domain of dimension 2 with a separably closed residue field. Let G be a finite group of order not divisible by char(K). Then G is admissible over K if and only if its Sylow subgroups are…

We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…

We discuss a universal algebraic approach to quasi-exactly solvable models which allows us to interpret them as constrained Hamiltonian systems with a finite number of physical states. Using this approach we reproduce well-known…

A semisimple element $s$ of a connected reductive group $G$ is said {\it quasi-isolated} (respectively {\it isolated}) if $C_G(s)$ (respectively $C_G^0(s)$) is not contained in a Levi subgroup of a proper parabolic subgroup of $G$. We study…

We exhibit an adjunction between a category of abstract algebras of partial functions and a category of set quotients. The algebras are those atomic algebras representable as a collection of partial functions closed under relative…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of Hausdorff topological semigroups which contains all zero-dimensional Hausdorff topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if $X$ is closed in each topological semigroup $Y\in…

The existence of a semiconjugate relation permits the transformation of a higher order difference equation on a group into an equivalent triangular system of two difference equations of lower orders. Introducing time-dependent form…

We show that if G is a split semisimple algebraic group over a model complete field K, then the groups G(K) and G(K)' (the commutator group which is a ``Chevalley group'' as for example the group PSL_2(K)) are model complete as well.

We say that a finite almost simple $G$ with socle $S$ is admissible (with respect to the spectrum) if $G$ and $S$ have the same sets of orders of elements. Let $L$ be a finite simple linear or unitary group of dimension at least three over…

We detect topological semigroups that are topological paragroups, i.e., are isomorphic to a Rees product of a topological group over topological spaces with a continuous sandwich function. We prove that a simple topological semigroup $S$ is…
