Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ or $p>2$. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be an affine supergroup scheme over $k$. We classify the indecomposable exact module categories over the tensor category ${\rm sCoh}_{\rm…
It is well known that if G is a finite group then the group of endotrivial modules is finitely generated. In this paper we prove that for an arbitrary finite group scheme G, and for any fixed integer n > 0, there are only finitely many…
We prove that the torsion subgroup of the abelian fundamental group is finite for a regular geometrically integral projective variety over a local field. We also study the structure of $SK_1(X)$ for a regular projective variety $X$ over a…
We carry out a study of groups $G$ in which the index of any infinite subgroup is finite. We call them restricted-finite groups and characterize finitely generated not torsion restricted-finite groups. We show that every infinite…
Let $C/\mathbb{F}_q$ be a regular projective curve, $\infty \in C$ a closed point, $A := \Gamma(C - \{\infty\}, \mathcal{O}_C)$, and $K := K(C)$ the fraction field of $A$. Consider a finite extension $L/K$, a place $v$ of $L$, and an…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and $G$ a finite group of odd order. If $K_h$ is a weakly ramified $G$-Galois $K$-algebra, then its square root $A_h$ of the inverse different is a locally free…
Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $k$ is a field of characteristic $p >0$. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the thick tensor ideal of finitely generated modules whose support variety is in a fixed subvariety $V$ of the projectivized prime ideal…
Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra over a perfect field $\mathbbm{k}$ of characteristic $p\!\ge \!3$. By combining methods from recent work of Benson-Carlson \cite{BC20} with those of \cite{CF21,Fa17} we…
Let $G$ be a finitely generated abelian-by-finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p\ge 0$. The Euler class $[k_G]$ of $G$ over $k$ is the class of the trivial $kG$-module in the Grothendieck group $G_0(kG)$. We show that $[k_G]$…
This paper is devoted to the more elementary aspects of the contramodule story, and can be viewed as an extended introduction to the more technically complicated arXiv:1503.05523. Reduced cotorsion abelian groups form an abelian category,…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $W$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of characteristic $0$ that has $k$ as its residue field. Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $G^{\mathrm{ab},p}$ is its maximal abelian $p$-quotient…
Let $\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{0}} \oplus \mathfrak{g}_{\overline{1}}$ be a Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field, $k$, of characteristic 0. An endotrivial $\mathfrak{g}$-module, $M$, is a…
We give a function F(d,n,p) such that if K/Q_p is a degree n field extension and A/K is a d-dimensional abelian variety with potentially good reduction, then #A(K)[tors] is at most F(d,n,p). Separate attention is given to the prime-to-p…
Let k be a field of positive characteristic p and let G be a finite group. In this paper we study the category TsG of finitely generated commutative k-algebras A on which G acts by algebra automorphisms with surjective trace. If A = k[X],…
In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…
Let S be a closed oriented surface of genus g > 1, and let T denote its Torelli group. First, given a set E of homotopically nontrivial, pairwise disjoint, pairwise nonisotopic simple closed curves on S, we determine precisely when a…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\ge 0$. Let $G$ be an affine group scheme over $k$. We classify the indecomposable exact module categories over the rigid tensor category $\text{Coh}_f(G)$ of coherent sheaves of…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…
We investigate torsion elements in the kernel of the map on divisor class groups of excellent local normal domains A and A/I, for an ideal I of finite projective dimension. The motivation for this work is a result of Griffith-Weston which…
