The Witt algebra $W_{\geq -1}$ is the Lie algebra of algebraic vector fields on a line. We investigate the two-sided ideal structure of its universal enveloping algebra, by studying the orbit homomorphisms $\Psi_n: U(W_{\geq -1})…

Let $R=\bigoplus_{\alpha\in\Gamma}R_{\alpha}$ be a graded integral domain. In this paper we study the space of homogeneous preserving semistar operations on $R$. We show if $\star$ is a homogeneous preserving semistar operation on $R$, then…

The aim of this note is to prove that the set of proper normal subgroups of a group endowed with coarse lower topology is a spectral space.

In modern form, Hilbert's Theorem 90 tells us that R^1f_*(G_m)=0, where f is the canonical map between the etale site and the Zariski site of a scheme X. I construct examples showing that the corresponding statement for algebraic spaces…

We prove that if two closed disks X_1 and X_2 of the Riemann sphere are spectral sets for a bounded linear operator A on a Hilbert space, then the intersection X_1\cap X_2 is a complete (2+2/\sqrt{3})-spectral set for A. When the…

Let X be a projective variety, $\sigma$ an automorphism of X, L a $\sigma$-ample invertible sheaf on X, and Z a closed subscheme of X. Inside the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring $B = B(X, L, \sigma)$, let I be the right ideal of…

Injective metric spaces, or absolute 1-Lipschitz retracts, share a number of properties with CAT(0) spaces. In the 1960es, J. R. Isbell showed that every metric space X has an injective hull E(X). Here it is proved that if X is the vertex…

For a commutative ring R with an ideal I, generated by a finite regular sequence, we construct differential graded algebras which provide R-free resolutions of I^s and of R/I^s for s>0 and which generalise the Koszul resolution. We derive…

Erd\H{o}s space $\mathfrak{E}$ and complete Erd\H{o}s space $\mathfrak{E}_c$ have been previously shown to have topological characterizations. In this paper, we provide a topological characterization of the topological space…

We study $\textrm{Sym}(\infty)$-orbit closures of not necessarily closed points in the Zariski spectrum of the infinite polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_{ij}:\, i\in\mathbb{N},\,j\in[n]]$. Among others, we characterize invariant prime ideals…

It is shown that if a $T_2$ topological space $X$ contains a closed uncountable discrete subspace, then the spaces $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega}$ and $(\omega_1 + 1)^{\omega_1}$ embed into $(CL(X),\tau_F)$, the hyperspace of nonempty closed…

We define a basic class of algebras which we call homotopy path algebras. We find that such algebras always admit a cellular resolution and detail the intimate relationship between these algebras, stratifications of topological spaces, and…

Building on work of van Engelen and van Mill, we show that a zero-dimensional Borel space is homeomorphic to a semifilter if and only if it is homogeneous and not locally compact. Under $\mathbf{\Sigma}^1_1$-Determinacy, this result extends…

We consider a variant of the ring of components of Hurwitz spaces introduced by Ellenberg, Venkatesh and Westerland. By focusing on Hurwitz spaces classifying covers of the projective line, the resulting ring of components is commutative,…

We study the set of localizations of an integral domain from a topological point of view, showing that it is always a spectral space and characterizing when it is a proconstructible subspace of the space of all overrings. We then study the…

We prove new structural results for the rational homotopy type of the classifying space $B\operatorname{aut}(X)$ of fibrations with fiber a simply connected finite CW-complex $X$. We first study nilpotent covers of $B\operatorname{aut}(X)$…

We show that if a proper, geodesically complete, CAT(0) homology manifold is quasi-isometric to the Euclidean space R^n then it is homeomorphic to R^n. On the other hand, we show that there exist proper, geodesically complete, CAT(0) spaces…

We show that the space of all holomorphic maps of degree one from the Riemann sphere into a Grassmann manifold is a sphere bundle over a flag manifold. Using the notions of "kernel" and "span" of a map, we completely identify the space of…

We prove that the moduli space of the pseudo holomorphic curves in the A-model on a symplectic torus is homeomorphic to a moduli space of Feynman diagrams in the configuration space of the morphisms in the B-model on the corresponding…

Let R be a connected noetherian commutative ring, and let G be a simply connected reductive group over R of isotropic rank ge 2. The elementary subgroup E(R) of G(R) is the subgroup generated by the R-points U_P^+(R) and U_P^-(R) of the…
