Algebraic power series are formal power series which satisfy a univariate polynomial equation over the polynomial ring in n variables. This relation determines the series only up to conjugacy. Via the Artin-Mazur theorem and the implicit…

We study rings over which an analogue of the Weierstrass preparation theorem holds for power series. We show that a commutative ring $R$ admits a factorization of every power series in $R[[x]]$ as the product of a polynomial and a unit if…

The main achievement of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for Artinian, Gorenstein local rings with the property that the square of the maximal ideal is generated by two elements. The moduli problem for this class of local…

We investigate whether the group algebra of a finite group over a localisation of the integers is semiperfect. The main result is a necessary and sufficient arithmetic criterion in the ordinary case. In the modular case, we propose a…

We extend classical results of Rado on partition regularity of systems of linear equations with integer coefficients to the case when the coefficient ring is either an arbitrary integral domain or a noetherian ring. In particular, we show…

This work studies slice functions over finite-dimensional division algebras. Their zero sets are studied in detail along with their multiplicative inverses, for which some unexpected phenomena are discovered. The results are applied to…

We prove a generalized Dade's Lemma for quotients of local rings by ideals generated by regular sequences. That is, given a pair of finitely generated modules over such a ring with algebraically closed residue field, we prove a sufficient…

We find conditions on the local cohomology modules of multi-Rees algebras of admissible filtrations which enable us to predict joint reduction numbers. As a consequence we are able to prove a generalisation of a result of…

In this paper and a forthcoming joint one with Y. Hachimori we study Iwasawa modules over an infinite Galois extension K of a number field k whose Galois group G=G(K/k) is isomorphic to the semidirect product of two copies of the p-adic…

We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring and $\widehat{R}$ its $\mathfrak{m}$-adic completion. We study the problem of determining when a finitely generated $\widehat{R}$-module arises from an $R$-module, i.e., when it is…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a type of generalized power series to be algebraic over the ring of power series with coefficients in a finite field. This result extend a classical theorem of Huang-Stefanescu.

We define the resultant of two power series with coefficients in the ring of integers of a $p$-adic field. In order to do this, we prove a universal version of the Weierstrass preparation theorem.

Let $A$ be an $\mathbf{E}_{\infty}$-ring spectrum over the rational numbers. If $A$ satisfies a noetherian condition on its homotopy groups $\pi_*(A)$, we construct a collection of $\mathbf{E}_{\infty}$-$A$-algebras that realize on homotopy…

We consider modules $M$ over Lie algebroids ${\mathfrak g}_A$ which are of finite type over a local noetherian ring $A$. Using ideals $J\subset A$ such that ${\mathfrak g}_A \cdot J\subset J $ and the length $\ell_{{\mathfrak g}_A}(M/JM)<…

We prove a generalization of Gabrielov's rank theorem for families of rings of power series which we call W-temperate. Examples include the families of complex analytic functions and of Eisenstein series. As a Corollary, we provide rank…

We provide an irreducibility test and factoring algorithm (with some qualifications) for formal power series in the unique factorization domain $R[[X]]$, where $R$ is any principal ideal domain. We also classify all integral domains arising…

This paper is lead by the question whether there is a nice structure theory of finitely generated modules over the Iwasawa algebra, i.e. the completed group algebra, R of a p-adic analytic group G. For G without any p-torsion element we…

We construct an explicit filtration of the ring of algebraic power series by finite dimensional constructible sets, measuring the complexity of these series. As an application, we give a bound on the dimension of the set of algebraic power…

A duality theorem for the stable module category of representations of a finite group scheme is proved. One of its consequences is an analogue of Serre duality, and the existence of Auslander-Reiten triangles for the $\mathfrak{p}$-local…
