Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $\Z_q\longrightarrow\Z_r$, $x+q\Z\longmapsto P(x)+r\Z$. More generally, there are polynomials in several variables with tuples of rational…
Matrix congruence can be used to mimic linear maps between homogeneous quadratic polynomials in $n$ variables. We introduce a generalization, called standard-form congruence, which mimics affine maps between non-homogeneous quadratic…
In this work, we introduce a new class of algebras called skew-Brauer graph algebras, which generalize the well-known Brauer graph algebras. We establish that skew-Brauer graph algebras are symmetric and can be defined using a Brauer graph…
In this paper we establish a connection between ribbon graphs and Brauer graphs. As a result, we show that a compact oriented surface with marked points gives rise to a unique Brauer graph algebra up to derived equivalence. In the case of a…
We construct k-parameter families of rational surface automorphisms for any k. These are automorphisms of surfaces X, which are constructed from iterated blowups over the projective plane. In certain cases: we are able to determine the…
The classical characteristic map associates symmetric functions to characters of the symmetric groups. There are two natural analogues of this map involving the Brauer algebra. The first of them relies on the action of the orthogonal or…
We give a bound for the number of rational maps between algebraic varieties of general type under mild hypothesis on the canonical map. We use an idea inspired by Tanabe's work. Instead of attaching a morphism of Hodge structures to a…
We introduce the notion of an algebraic cocycle as the algebraic analogue of a map to an Eilenberg-MacLane space. Using these cocycles we develop a ``cohomology theory" for complex algebraic varieties. The theory is bigraded, functorial,…
We study a certain family of finite-dimensional simple representations over quantum affine superalgebras associated to general linear Lie superalgebras, the so-called fundamental representations: the denominators of rational $R$-matrices…
There are three families of bivariate polynomial maps associated with the rank-$2$ simple complex Lie algebras $A_2, B_2 \cong C_2$ and $G_2$. It is known that the bivariate polynomial map associated with $A_2$ induces a permutation of…
We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…
The diagram algebra introduced by Brauer that describes the centralizer algebra on tensor products of the natural representation of an orthogonal group has a presentation by generators and relations that only depends on the graph of type An…
We study the representation theory of the rook-Brauer algebra RB_k(x), also called the partial Brauer algebra. This algebra has a basis of "rook-Brauer" diagrams, which are Brauer diagrams that allow for the possibility of missing edges.…
Characterizing derived equivalences between algebras via combinatorial structures has recently become a popular topic. In this paper, we study admissible fractional Brauer graph algebras, a new subclass of self-injective special biserial…
We study properties of a map from a certain unitary group in $n$ variables to a related unitary group in $\binom{n}{k}$ variables. We explain how it gives rise to a map between canonical models of Shimura varieties and we prove that it…
We establish a bijective correspondence between certain non-self-intersecting curves in an $n$-punctured disc and positive ${\mathbf c}$-vectors of acyclic cluster algebras whose quivers have multiple arrows between every pair of vertices.…
The free Baker-Akhiezer modules on rational varieties obtained from ${\mathbb C}P^{1}\times{\mathbb C}P^{n-1}$ by identification of two hypersurfaces are constructed. The corollary of this construction is the existence of embedding of…
Grothendieck-Chow motives of quadric hypersurfaces have provided many insights into the theory of quadratic forms. Subsequently, the landscape of motives of more general projective homogeneous varieties has begun to emerge. In particular,…
We show that two well-studied classes of tame algebras coincide: namely, the class of symmetric special biserial algebras coincides with the class of Brauer graph algebras. We then explore the connection between gentle algebras and…
We survey recent developments on rationality problems for algebraic varieties, with a particular emphasis on cycle-theoretic and combinatorial methods and their applications to hypersurfaces.
