We give a negative answer to Problem 19 of Cahen, Fontana, Frisch, and Glaz concerning the flatness and freeness of rings of integer-valued polynomials. We construct an explicit one-dimensional Noetherian local domain D over the field with…

Consider rectangular matrices over a commutative ring R. Assume the ideal of maximal minors factorizes, I_m(A)=J_1*J_2. When is A left-right equivalent to a block-diagonal matrix? (When does the module/sheaf Coker(A) decompose as the…

A complex hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be decomposable if there are no elements in the degree 3 part of its holonomy Lie algebra besides those coming from the rank 2 flats. When this purely combinatorial condition is…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field. We show that if a quantum formal deformation $A$ of a commutative domain $A_0$ over $F$ is a PI algebra, then $A$ is commutative if ${\rm char}(F)=0$, and has PI degree a power of $p$ if ${\rm…

We apply the filtered and graded methods developed in earlier works to find (noncommutative) free group algebras in division rings. If $L$ is a Lie algebra, we denote by $U(L)$ its universal enveloping algebra. P. M. Cohn constructed a…

Let $A$ be an associative algebra over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 0. A decomposition $A=A_1\oplus\cdots \oplus A_r$ of $A$ into a direct sum of $r$ vector subspaces is called a \textsl{regular decomposition} if, for…
