In this note we prove that the spec(C)-points of the representation Artin-stack [rep_n R/PGL_n] of n-dimensional representations of an affine algebra R correspond to algebra morphisms R-->A where A is an Azumaya algebra of degree n over C.…

We study moduli spaces and moduli stacks for representations of associative algebras in Azumaya algebras, in rather general settings. We do not impose any stability condition and work over arbitrary ground rings, but restrict attention to…

In arXiv:1606.07885, many different Grothendieck topologies were introduced on the category of Azumaya algebras. Here we give a classification in terms of sets of supernatural numbers. Then we discuss the associated categories of sheaves…

We construct finite dimensional representations of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of the one-punctured torus and four-punctured sphere at all roots of unity. The representations are given by explicit formulas. They all have dimensions…

We compute the Azumaya loci of Kauffman-bracket skein algebras of closed surfaces at odd roots of unity and provide partial results for open surfaces as well. As applications, we give an alternative definition of the projective…

Using twisted and formal-local methods, we prove that every separated algebraic space which is the (open/flat) pushout of affine schemes has enough Azumaya algebras. As a corollary we show that, under mild hypothesis, every cohomological…

Although contemporary model theory has been called "algebraic geometry minus fields", the formal methods of the two fields are radically different. This dissertation aims to shrink that gap by presenting a theory of logical schemes,…

We develop algebraic geometry for general Segal's Gamma-rings and show that this new theory unifies two approaches we had considered earlier on (for a geometry under Spec Z). The starting observation is that the category obtained by gluing…

Let $X$ be a connected, noetherian scheme and $\mathcal{A}$ be a sheaf of Azumaya algebras on $X$ which is a locally free $\mathcal{O}_{X}$-module of rank $a$. We show that the kernel and cokernel of $K_{i}(X) \to K_{i}(\mathcal{A}) $ are…

We prove a general statement which implies the coincidence of the Azumaya and smooth loci of the center of an algebra in positive characteristic, provided that the spectrum of its associated graded algebra has a large symplectic leaf. In…

Suppose $A$ is an Azumaya algebra over a ring $R$ and $\sigma$ is an involution of $A$ extending an order-$2$ automorphism $\lambda:R\to R$. We say $\sigma$ is extraordinary if there does not exist a Brauer-trivial Azumaya algebra…

We prove that both stated skein algebras and their reduced versions at odd roots of unity are almost-Azumaya and compute the rank of a reduced stated skein algebra over its center, extending a theorem of Frohman, Kania-Bartoszynska and L\^e…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finite group. Consider $G$-graded simple algebras $A$ which are finite dimensional and $e$-central over $F$, i.e. $Z(A)_{e} := Z(A)\cap A_{e} = F$. For any…

The residuated lattices form one of the most important algebras of fuzzy logics and have been heavily studied by people from various different points of view. Sheaf presentations provide a topological approach to many algebraic structures.…

We study the stacky and logarithmic-topological structures associated with transversely affine affine foliations. To such a foliation we attach its holonomy group and the corresponding quotient stack, which provides the natural geometric…

The goal of this note is to give an explicit formula for the residues of twists of the matrix algebra in terms of the twisting cocycle. Combined with the Fixed Point Theorem for actions of finite groups on affine buildings, this leads to a…

We study etale topology and the notion of Azumaya algebra over a commutative ring constructively. As an application of the syntactic version of Barr's Theorem, we show the equivalence between two definitions of Azumaya algebra.

We show, that for a morphism of schemes from X to Y, that is a finite modification in finitely many closed points, a cohomological Brauer class on Y is represented by an Azumaya algebra if its pullback to X is represented by an Azumaya…

For an Azumaya algebra $A$ which is free over its centre $R$, we prove that the $K$-theory of $A$ is isomorphic to $K$-theory of $R$ up to its rank torsion. We observe that a graded central simple algebra, graded by an abelian group, is a…

Let A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion free A-module…
