For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

Let D be a domain with quotient field K and A a D-algebra. We call a polynomial with coefficients in K that maps every element of A to an element of A "integer-valued on A". For commutative A we also consider integer-valued polynomials in…

Consider two non-degenerate algebras B and C over the complex numbers. We study a certain class of idempotent elements E in the multiplier algebra of the tensor product of B with C, called separability idempotents. The conditions include…

This article provides some basic results on weight structures, weight complex functors and homotopy categories. We prove that the full subcategories K(A)^{w < n}, K(A)^{w > n}, K(A)^- and K(A)^+ (of objects isomorphic to suitably bounded…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative local principal ring, and let $H(R)$ denote the corresponding quaternion ring. We show that an element of $H(R)$ is a product of idempotents if and only if it can be expressed as a product of two idempotents.…

For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…

We refine the invariant on $K_2(A[C_{p_e}]/I_m,(T-1))$ constructed in a previous paper to one which is an isomorphism for all $\lambda$-rings $A$.

Let R be a (unital) commutative ring, and G be a finite group with order invertible in R. We introduce new idempotents in the double Burnside algebra RB(G,G), indexed by conjugacy classes of minimal sections of G, i.e. pairs (T,S) of…

We show that an idempotent lies in the center if it commutes with the other idempotents in the ring. Next, we introduce a partition of the set of idempotents and show that the automorphisms of the ring act transitively on each equivalence…

Let $D$ be a commutative domain with field of fractions $K$, let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra, and let $B$ be the extension of $A$ to a $K$-algebra. The set of integer-valued polynomials on $A$ is ${\rm Int}(A) = \{f \in B[X] \mid f(A)…

In this article we study the K-theory of endomorphisms using noncommutative motives. We start by extending the K-theory of endomorphisms functor from ordinary rings to (stable) infinity categories. We then prove that this extended functor…

For a commutative ring $R$ with identity, a Specker $R$-algebra is a commutative unital $R$-algebra generated by a Boolean algebra of idempotents, each nonzero element of which is faithful. Such algebras have arisen in the study of…

In this paper we introduce the notion of an idempotent system. This linear algebraic object is motivated by the structure of an association scheme. We focus on a family of idempotent systems, said to be symmetric. A symmetric idempotent…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $I\subset R$ be a nilpotent ideal such that the quotient $R/I$ splits out of $R$ as a ring. Let $N$ be a natural number such that ${I^N=0}$. We establish a canonical isomorphism between the relative Milnor…

We study idempotents in intensional Martin-L\"of type theory, and in particular the question of when and whether they split. We show that in the presence of propositional truncation and Voevodsky's univalence axiom, there exist idempotents…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…

Commutative semirings with divisible additive semigroup are studied. We show that an additively divisible commutative semiring is idempotent, provided that it is finitely generated and torsion. In case that a one-generated additively…

We provide a complete characterization of the equivariant commutative ring structures of all the factors in the idempotent splitting of the G-equivariant sphere spectrum, including their Hill-Hopkins-Ravenel norms, where G is any finite…

We prove a general theorem for constructing integral quantum cluster algebras over ${\mathbb{Z}}[q^{\pm 1/2}]$, namely that under mild conditions the integral forms of quantum nilpotent algebras always possess integral quantum cluster…

We show that the functor of $p$-typical co-Witt vectors on commutative algebras over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$ is defined on, and in fact only depends on, a weaker structure than that of a $k$-algebra. We call this structure…
