In 1989, Ziegler introduced the concept of a multi-arrangement. One natural example is the reflection arrangement of a unitary reflection group with multiplicity given by the number of reflections associated with each hyperplane. For all…
We give the trace formulas of weight $k$ for cocompact, torsion-free discrete subgroups of $SU(2, 1)$ and prove the analogue of the Riemann hypothesis on compact complex surfaces $M$ with $c_1^2(M)=3 c_2(M)$, where $c_i(M)$ is the $i$-th…
We compute the equivariant $K$-homology of the classifying space for proper actions, for compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic reflection groups. This coincides with the topological $K$-theory of the reduced $C^\ast$-algebra associated to the…
We introduce two families of two-generator one-relator groups called primitive extension groups and show that a one-relator group is hyperbolic if its primitive extension subgroups are hyperbolic. This reduces the problem of characterising…
We show that perverse equivalences between module categories of finite-dimensional algebras preserve rationality. As an application, we give a connection between some famous conjectures from the modular representation theory of finite…
Let $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ be a pair of residual, odd, absolutely irreducible two-dimensional Galois representations of a totally real number field $F$. In this article we propose a conjecture asserting existence of "safe" chains of…
We state four open problems on Iwahori-Hecke algebras. The first one states a relation between some algebras appearing in Solleveld's work and some explicit Hecke algebras appearing in the study of unipotent representations. The second one…
A new class of associative algebras referred to as affine walled Brauer algebras are introduced. These algebras are free with infinite rank over a commutative ring containing 1. Then level two walled Brauer algebras over C are defined,…
The graded reflection equation is investigated for the $U_{q}[sl(r|2m)^{(2)}]$ vertex model. We have found four classes of diagonal solutions and twelve classes of non-diagonal ones. The number of free parameters for some solutions depends…
A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…
We prove the Milnor conjecture for Lie groups and the Friedlander conjecture for complex algebraic Lie groups.
Conditional on the Lefschetz standard conjecture in degree 2, we prove that the index of a Brauer class on a smooth projective variety divides a fixed power of its period, uniformly in smooth families. In the other direction, we reinterpret…
We provide counterexamples to P. Olver's freeness conjecture for $C^\infty$ actions. In fact, we show that a counterexample exists for any connected real Lie group with noncompact center, as well as for the additive group of the integers.
We prove a strengthening of Brauer's height zero conjecture for principal 2-blocks with Galois automorphisms. This requires a new extension of the It\^o--Michler theorem for the prime~2, again with Galois automorphisms. We close, this time…
In this paper, we study combinatorics of congruence subgroups of the modular group. More precisely, we consider the matrix equation that naturally arises in the theory of Coxeter friezes and investigate its irreducible solutions. We give…
Every hyperbolic group acts continuously on its Gromov boundary. One can form the corresponding cross-product C*-algebra A. We show that there always exists a canonical Poincare duality map from the K-theory of A to the K-homology of A. We…
Given an algebra with an idempotent, we introduce two procedures to construct families of new algebras, termed mirror-reflective algebras and reduced mirror-reflective algebras. We then establish connections among these algebras by…
A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…
We produce infinitely many finite 2-groups that do not embed with index 2 in any group generated by involutions. This disproves a conjecture of Lemmermeyer and restricts the possible Galois groups of unramified 2-extensions, Galois over the…
We give a positive answer to the Huneke-Wiegand Conjecture for monomial ideals over free numerical semigroup rings, and for two generated monomial ideals over complete intersection numerical semigroup rings.
