Homogeneous rotation symmetric Boolean functions have been extensively studied in recent years because of their applications in cryptography. Little is known about the basic question of when two such functions are affine equivalent. The…
We survey the basics of homological algebra in exact categories in the sense of Quillen. All diagram lemmas are proved directly from the axioms, notably the five lemma, the 3 x 3-lemma and the snake lemma. We briefly discuss exact functors,…
A pair of adjoint functors $(F,G)$ is called a Frobenius pair of the second type if $G$ is a left adjoint of $\beta F\alpha$ for some category equivalences $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Frobenius ring extensions of the second kind provide examples…
In this article, we define and explore the weak normalization of an affine semigroup. In particular, for a fixed prime integer, we provide a geometric description of the weak normalization of an affine semigroup with respect to that prime,…
The notion of strong Frobenius structure is classically studied in the theory of $p$-adic differential operators. In the present work, we introduce a new definition of the notion of strong Frobenius structure for $q$-difference operators.…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
Let $\Phi:V\to V\otimes U$ be an intertwining operator between representations of a simple Lie algebra (quantum group, affine Lie algebra). We define its generalized character to be the following function on the Cartan subalgebra with…
We describe a construction of explicit affine extractors over large finite fields with exponentially small error and linear output length. Our construction relies on a deep theorem of Deligne giving tight estimates for exponential sums over…
In this paper we study numerical semigroups containing a given positive integer and closed with respect to the action of an affine map. For such semigroups we find a minimal set of generators, their embedding dimension, their genus and…
Highest weight categories are described in terms of standard objects and recollements of abelian categories, working over an arbitrary commutative base ring. Then the highest weight structure for categories of strict polynomial functors is…
An affine monoid is an additive monoid which is cancellative, pointed and finitely generated. An affine monoid $\Lambda$ has the partial order defined by $\lambda \le \lambda + \mu$. The Frobenius complex is the order complex of an open…
In these notes, we survey the homology of the loop group Omega(K) of a compact group K, also known as the affine Grassmannian of a complex loop group. Using the Bott picture of H_*(Omega(K)), the homology algebra or Pontryagin ring, we…
In this paper, we introduce a new parameter, the affine twist parameter for the affine deformation of a sphere with holes. We show that the affine deformation space can be parametrized by Margulis invariants and affine twist parameters. The…
We describe explicitly the normalization of affine varieties with an algebraic torus action of complexity one in terms of polyhedral divisors. We also provide a description of homogeneous integrally closed ideals of affine T-varieties of…
In this paper we will prove that there exists a covariant functor, called algebraic anabelian functor, from the category of algebraic schemes over a given field to the category of outer homomorphism sets of groups. The algebraic anabelian…
We investigate the structure of graded commutative exponential functors. We give applications of these structure results, including computations of the homology of the symmetric groups and of extensions in the category of strict polynomial…
We study the property of a normal scheme, that the complement of every hypersurface is an affine scheme. To this end we introduce the affine class group. It is a factor group of the divisor class group and measures the deviation from this…
The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. This is the second in a series of papers in…
Polynomial functors are a categorical generalization of the usual notion of polynomial, which has found many applications in higher categories and type theory: those are generated by polynomials consisting a set of monomials built from sets…
The aim of this paper is to give an effective version of the Strong Artin Approximation Theorem for binomial equations. First we give an effective version of the Greenberg Approximation Theorem for polynomial equations, then using the…
