In this paper, we introduce the commutativity degree of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a finite field and determine upper and lower bounds for it. Moreover, we study some relations between the notion of commutativity degree and known…
Using the momentum constraint, the standard evolution system is written in a fully first order form. The class of first order invariant algebraic slicing conditions is considered. The full set of characteristic fields is explicitly given.…
Inspired by the commutator and anticommutator algebras derived from algebras graded by groups, we introduce noncommutatively graded algebras. We generalize various classical graded results to the noncommutatively graded situation concerning…
Let us consider a specialization of an untwisted quantum affine algebra of type $ADE$ at a nonzero complex number, which may or may not be a root of unity. The Grothendieck ring of its finite dimensional representations has two bases,…
We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…
Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. Criteria are given which characterize existence of a fine or coarse moduli space classifying, up to isomorphism, the representations of $\Lambda$ with fixed…
We prove some basic results about irreducible components of varieties of modules for an arbitrary finitely generated associative algebra. Our work generalizes results of Kac and Schofield on representations of quivers, but our methods are…
This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…
We explore the constraints imposed by Poincar\'e duality on the resonance varieties of a graded algebra. For a 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality algebra $A$, we obtain a fairly precise geometric description of the resonance varieties…
In this paper we introduce a new ingredient, invariant systems of differential equations, to our study of character sheaves on graded Lie algebras. The character sheaves we construct in this paper, together with the ones constructed in…
This is a survey on the finite basis problem for varieties of algebraic systems. Our exposition is in two directions: (i) We give numerous examples of varieties which are not finitely based. (ii) We give examples of important varieties with…
This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…
The underlying algebra for a noncommutative geometry is taken to be a matrix algebra, and the set of derivatives the adjoint of a subset of traceless matrices. This is sufficient to calculate the dual 1-forms, and show that the space of…
The variety of bicommutative algebras consists of all nonassociative algebras satisfying the polynomial identities of right- and left-commutativity $(x_1x_2)x_3=(x_1x_3)x_2$ and $x_1(x_2x_3)=x_2(x_1x_3)$. Let $F_d$ be the free $d$-generated…
The k-th Fitting ideal of the Alexander invariant B of an arrangement A of n complex hyperplanes defines a characteristic subvariety, V_k(A), of the complex algebraic n-torus. In the combinatorially determined case where B decomposes as a…
This paper reinterprets Alexander-type invariants of knots via representation varieties of knot groups into the group $\textrm{AGL}_1(\mathbb{C})$ of affine transformations of the complex line. In particular, we prove that the coordinate…
A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A-infinity algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We…
To a homotopy algebra one may associate its deformation complex, which is naturally a differential graded Lie algebra. We show that infinity quasi-isomorphic homotopy algebras have L-infinity quasi-isomorphic deformation complexes by an…
A variety is a category of ordered (finitary) algebras presented by inequations between terms. We characterize categories enriched over the category of posets which are equivalent to a variety. This is quite analogous to Lawvere's classical…
The irreducible components of varieties parametrizing the finite dimensional representations of a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ are explored, with regard to both their geometry and the structure of the modules they encode. Provided…
