We study the central extensions of Lie algebras graded by an irreducible locally finite root system.

Let $\Phi$ be a finite crystallographic irreducible root system and $\mathcal P_{\Phi}$ be the convex hull of the roots in $\Phi$. We give a uniform explicit description of the polytope $\mathcal P_{\Phi}$, analyze the…

Given a finite and connected two-dimensional $CW$-complex $K$ with fundamental group $\Pi$ and second integer cohomology group $H^2(K;\mathbb{Z})$ finite of odd order, we prove that: (1) for each local integer coefficient system…

The notion of a "root base" together with its geometry plays a crucial role in the theory of finite and affine Lie theory. However, it is known that such a notion does not exist for the recent generalizations of finite and affine root…

This article establishes some elementary dualities for root systems with automorphisms. We give several applications to reductive groups over nonarchimedean local fields: (1) the proof of a conjecture of Pappas-Rapoport-Smithling…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

We study the problem of \emph{robust satisfiability} of systems of nonlinear equations, namely, whether for a given continuous function $f:\,K\to\mathbb{R}^n$ on a~finite simplicial complex $K$ and $\alpha>0$, it holds that each function…

We present a simple and purely combinatorial proof of Steel's result according to which the core model is \Sigma^1_3 correct under the appropriate hypotheses.

We exhibit a simple construction, based on elementary linear algebra, for a class of examples of finite $p$-groups of nilpotence class $2$ all of whose automorphisms are central.

We prove the following generalization of the Cartwright-Littlewood fixed point theorem. Suppose $ h\colon~{\mathbb R}^{2}\to{\mathbb R}^{2} $ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and $ X $ is an acyclic continuum. Let $ C $ be…

In this paper we study the $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariance of the unstable functor $\mathrm{K}_2(\Phi, R)$ in the case when $\Phi$ is an irreducible root system of type $\mathsf{ADE}$ containing $\mathsf{A}_4$ and not of type $\mathsf{E}_8$. We…

Theorem 1.2.6 of [ATW20] provides a relatively functorial logarithmic principalization of ideals on relative logarithmic orbifolds $X\to B$ in characteristic 0, relying on a delicate monomialization theorem for Kummer ideals. The paper…

We characterize all lattices $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and all compactly supported functions $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ for which the Gabor system $\left \{ e^{2\pi i s x} g(x-t) : (t,s) \in \Lambda \right \}$ forms an orthonormal basis…

In this paper we study the transformations linearizing isochronous centers of planar Hamiltonian differential systems with polynomial Hamiltonian functions $H(x,y)$ having only isolated singularities. Assuming the origin is an isochronous…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple Lie algebra over~$\mathbb{C}$ with root system~$\Phi$. In the simply laced case, Frenkel and Kac found a particularly simple construction of~$\mathfrak{g}$, together with a Chevalley basis and explicitly given…

We show how to solve computationally a combinatorial problem about the possible number of roots orthogonal to a vector of given length in $E_8$. We show that the moduli space of K3 surfaces with polarisation of degree 2d is also of general…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. In this paper we show that in the linear case ($\Phi=\mathsf{A}_\ell$, $\ell \geq 4$) and even orthogonal case ($\Phi = \mathsf{D}_\ell$, $\ell\geq 7$, $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2$) the unstable functor…

This paper contributes to the proof of the conjecture posed in arXiv:1606.02521, stating that a Nichols algebra of diagonal type with finite Gelfand-Kirillov dimension has finite (generalized) root system. We prove the conjecture assuming…

We prove that if two homomorphisms from O_{\infty} to a purely infinite simple C*-algebra have the same class in KK-theory, and if either both are unital or both are nonunital, then they are approximately unitarily equivalent. It follows…
