We introduce the notion of a neutral representation of a finite group, or finite group scheme, $G$; a representation $V$ with the property that if a gerbe $\mathcal{G}$ over a field $k$ that is a form of the classifying stack $\mathcal{B}…

We show that if a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over ${\bf C}$ has a basis such that all the structure constants are non-negative, then the Hopf algebra must be given by a finite group $G$ and a factorization $G=G_+G_-$ into two…

Chip firing provides a way to study the sandpile group (also known as the Jacobian) of a graph. We use a generalized version of chip firing to bound the number of invariant factors of the critical group of an arithmetical structure on a…

We introduce a natural concept of positive definiteness for bundle maps between Fell bundles over (possibly different) discrete groups and describe several examples. Such maps induce completely positive maps between the associated full…

We prove that any tame abstract elementary class categorical in a suitable cardinal has an eventually global good frame: a forking-like notion defined on all types of single elements. This gives the first known general construction of a…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective algebraic variety. Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a $G$-banded gerbe with $G$ a finite abelian group. We prove an exact formula expressing genus $g$ orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of…

In this note, we prove that the F-fundamental group scheme is birational invariant for smooth projective varieties. We prove that the F-fundamental group scheme is naturally a quotient of the Nori fundamental group scheme. For elliptic…

Thoma's theorem states that a group algebra $C^*(\Gamma)$ is of type I if and only if $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian. We discuss here some similar questions for the quantum groups, our main result stating that, under suitable virtually…

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We show that the tame fundamental group of a smooth affine curve over $k$ is a projective profinite group. We prove that the fundamental group of…

We introduce the fundamental group F(A) of a simple $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ with unique (up to scalar multiple) densely defined lower semicontinuous trace. This is a generalization of our previous works. Our definition in this…

We introduce a new fundamental group scheme for varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and we use it to study generalization of some of C. Simpson's results to positive characteristic. We also study…

We prove that the finiteness of a finitely generated category of irreducible algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic zero is decidable. We also obtain a Burnside finiteness criterion for such a category, with applications to…

We introduce the fundamental group $F(\mathcal{M})$ of a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with finite dimensional normal trace space. The form of $F(\mathcal{M})$ is completely determined. Moreover, there exists a finite von Neumann…

The relative cell complexes with respect to a generating set of cofibrations are an important class of morphisms in any model structure. In the particular case of the standard (algebraic) model structure on $\textbf{Top}$, we give a new…

Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our…

Let $S$ be a Dedekind scheme, $X$ a connected $S$-scheme locally of finite type and $x\in X(S)$ a section. The aim of the present paper is to establish the existence of the fundamental group scheme of $X$, when $X$ has reduced fibers or…

We follow the pattern in a recent paper of Otabe [Ota15] to define an action of the \'etale fundamental group scheme $\pi^\text{et}(X)$ on the local component of the essentially finite fundamental group scheme $\pi^{\mathrm{EF}}(X)$ of…

We study fundamental groups of algebraic stacks. We show that these fundamental groups carry an additional structure coming from the inertia groups. Then use this additional structure to analyze geometric/ topological properties of stacks.…

Let $\Pi$ be the \'etale fundamental group of a smooth affine curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We establish a criterion for profinite freeness of closed subgroups of $\Pi$. Roughly speaking, if a closed…

For a quasi-projective scheme $X$ admitting a smooth compactification over a local field of residue characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a continuous reciprocity homomorphism from a tame class group to the abelian tame etale fundamental…
