Let $R$ be a local principal ideal ring of length two, for example, the ring $R=\Z/p^2\Z$ with $p$ prime. In this paper we develop a theory of normal forms for similarity classes in the matrix rings $M_n(R)$ by interpreting them in terms of…

In 1974, Vegh proved that if $k$ is a prime and $m$ a positive integer, there is an $m$ term permutation chain of $k$th power residue for infinitely many primes [E.Vegh, $k$th power residue chains, J.Number Theory, 9(1977), 179-181]. In…

Bertin (1972) defined regularity for coherent local rings, and Knaf (2004) studied the property for a local ring $A$ essentially finitely presented over a valuation ring $V$. We discuss several properties of this notion of regularity for…

This work sketches the author classification of complete discrete valuation fields K of characteristic 0 with residue field of characteristic p into two classes depending on the behaviour of the torsion part of a differential module. For…

We prove a strengthening of the Grothendieck-Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for local Picard groups conjectured by Koll\'ar. Our approach, which relies on acyclicity results for absolute integral closures, also leads to a restriction theorem…

Inspired by Jorgensen et. al., it is proved that if a Cohen--Macaulay local ring $R$ with dualizing module admits a suitable chain of semidualizing $R$--modules of length $n$, then $R\cong Q/(I_1+\cdots+I_n)$ for some Gorenstein ring $Q$…

We sudy the behaviour of endomorphisms and automorphisms of groups involved in abelian group extensions. The main result can be stated as follows: Let $0\to N\to G\to Q \to 1$ be an abelian group extension. Then one has the following exact…

We give a refinement of Saito's arithmetic duality for two-dimensional local rings by giving algebraic group structures for arithmetic cohomology groups.

We show that a field $K$ is model complete (in the language of rings) if and only if the Heisenberg group $H(K)$ is model complete (in the language of groups). To show that, we extend Levchuk's result about automorphisms of $H(K)$ to the…

Let k be an infinite field. Let R be the semi-local ring of a finite family of closed points on a k-smooth affine irreducible variety, let K be the fraction field of R, and let G be a reductive simple simply connected R-group scheme…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$. We prove two asymptotic formulas connected with the distribution of irreducible elements in $\mathbb{Z}_K$. First, we estimate the maximum number of nonassociated irreducibles…

We make a list of finite simple groups whose group rings over a given field are serial.

In a finite real reflection group, the reflection length of each element is equal to the codimension of its fixed space, and the two coincident functions determine a partial order structure called the absolute order. In complex reflection…

We use knowledge of local fields to adapt Jonathan Lubin and Michael Rosen's proof of Mazur's Proposition 4.39. This changes the result about abelian varieties from only working over local fields with a finite residue field to working with…

In this paper we prove a finiteness result concerning the Chow group of zero-cycles for varieties over $p$-adic local fields. In this final version, there are several corrections concerning mathematical symbols and reference to related…

This article investigates the traces of certain modules over rings of invariants associated with finite groups. More precisely, we provide a formula for computing the traces of arbitrary semi-invariants, thereby contributing to the…

We prove that the tangent space to the $(n+1)$-th Milnor $K$-group of a ring $R$ is isomorphic to group of $n$-th absolute K\"ahler differentials of $R$ when the ring $R$ contains $\frac{1}{2}$ and has sufficiently many invertible elements.…

We determine higher topological Hochschild homology of rings of integers in number fields with coefficients in suitable residue fields. We use the iterative description of higher THH for this and Postnikov arguments that allow us to reduce…

We develop a theory of integration over valued fields of residue characteristic zero. In particular we obtain new and base-field independent foundations for integration over local fields of large residue characteristic, extending results of…

This is a second part of alg-geom/9611015. We construct a natural hyperkaehler desingularization for all singular hyperkaehler varieties. The desingularization theorem was proven in alg-geom/9611015 under additional assumption of local…
