We prove that $\mathrm{St}(n, A)$ is a crossed module over $\mathrm{GL}(n, A)$ under a local stable rank condition on an algebra $A$ over a commutative ring. Our proof uses only elementary localization techniques in terms of pro-groups and…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ be the moduli space over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of $g$-dimensional principally polarised abelian varieties, where $p$ is a prime. We show that if $g$ is even and $p\geq 5$, then every geometric generic member in the…

This paper studies the form and complexity of inference in graphical models using the abstraction offered by algebraic structures. In particular, we broadly formalize inference problems in graphical models by viewing them as a sequence of…

Given a planar digraph $G$ and a positive even integer $k$, an embedding of $G$ in the plane is k-modal, if every vertex of $G$ is incident to at most $k$ pairs of consecutive edges with opposite orientations, i.e., the incoming and the…

It is well-known that the Steenrod algebra $A$ is self-injective as a graded ring. We make the observation that simply changing the grading on $A$ can make it cease to be self-injective. We see also that $A$ is not self-injective as an…

Let $S=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $K$, and let $I\subset S$ be a monomial ideal. In this paper, we introduce the $i$th \textit{homological shift algebras}…

The variety of principal minors of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices, denoted $Z_{n}$, is invariant under the action of a group $G\subset \GL(2^{n})$ isomorphic to $\G$. We describe an irreducible $G$-module of degree $4$ polynomials…

This is an expanded lecture note for "Masterclass on sofic groups and applications to operator algebras" (University of Copenhagen, 5-9 November 2012). It is about algebraic aspects of the Connes Embedding Conjecture. It contains new proofs…

Let F:K be a Galois extension of number fields and Q a prime ideal of O_F lying over the prime P of O_K. By analyzing the Q-adic closure of O_K in O_F we characterize those rings of integers O_K for which every residue class ring of…

Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ be algebraic numbers in a number field $K$ generating a subgroup of rank $r$ in $K^\times$. We investigate under GRH the number of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that each of the orders of…

There is a growing body of work on proving hardness results for average-case estimation problems by bounding the low-degree advantage (LDA) - a quantitative estimate of the closeness of low-degree moments - between a null distribution and a…

In the classical linear degeneracy testing problem, we are given $n$ real numbers and a $k$-variate linear polynomial $F$, for some constant $k$, and have to determine whether there exist $k$ numbers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$ from the set such that…

It is well known that the ring radical theory can be approached via language of modules. In this work, we present some generalizations of classical results from module theory, in the two-sided and graded sense. Let $\mathsf{G}$ be a group,…

Fix $n \geq 2$ an integer, and $F$ be a totally real number field. We reduce the shifted convolution problem for $L$-function coefficients of $\operatorname{GL}_n({\bf{A}}_F)$-automorphic forms to the better-understood setting of…

Using methods developed by Franke, we obtain algebraic classification results for modules over certain symmetric ring spectra ($S$-algebras). In particular, for any symmetric ring spectrum $R$ whose graded homotopy ring $\pi_*R$ has graded…

Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $k$, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Geometric invariant theory involves the study of the $k$-algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$, and the relation…

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime. A module for G over a field of characteristic p is called algebraic if it satisfies a polynomial, with addition and multiplication given by direct sum and tensor product. In some sense, having…

We study homological invariants of the Steinberg algebra $\mathcal{A}_k(\mathcal{G})$ of an ample groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ over a commutative ring $k$. For $\mathcal{G}$ principal or Hausdorff with…

Let $(K,M)$ be a pair satisfying some mild condition, where $K$ is a class of $R$-modules and $M$ is a class of $R$-homomorphisms. We show that if $f:A\rightarrow B$ and $g:B\rightarrow A$ are $M$-embeddings and $A,B$ are $K_M$-injective,…

We define various formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups which are regular, and morphisms between them. We formulate arithmetic transfer conjectures, which are variants of the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture of the third author…
