We establish some structural results for the Witt and Grothendieck-Witt groups of schemes over $\mathbb{Z}[1/2]$, including homotopy invariance for Witt groups and a formula for the Witt and Grothendieck-Witt groups of punctured affine…
We study and relate categories of modules, comodules and contramodules over a representation of a small category taking values in (co)algebras, in a manner similar to modules over a ringed space. As a result, we obtain a categorical…
We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…
We say that an inclusion of an algebra $A$ into a $C^*$-algebra $B$ has the ideal separation property if closed ideals in $B$ can be recovered by their intersection with $A$. Such inclusions have attractive properties from the point of view…
Much is known about the adele ring of an algebraic number field from the perspective of Harmonic Analysis and Class Field Theory. However, its ring-theoretical aspects are often ignored. Here we present a description of the prime spectrum…
For countably generated ideals, $\Jc$, of $B(\Hil)$, geometric stability is necessary for the canonical spectral characterization of sums of $(\Jc,B(\Hil))$--commutators to hold. This answers a question raised by Dykema, Figiel, Weiss and…
We prove structural theorems for computing the completion of a G-spectrum at the augmentation ideal of the Burnside ring of a finite group G. First we show that a G-spectrum can be replaced by a spectrum obtained by allowing only isotropy…
Let $H$ be a linear algebraic group whose connected component $G\neq 1$ is simple and $H/G$ is cyclic. We determine the irreducible projective representations $\phi$ of $H$ such that $\phi(G)$ is irreducible and $\phi(h)$ has simple…
We give an informal exposition of pushforwards and orientations in generalized cohomology theories in the language of spectra. The whole note can be seen as an attempt at convincing the reader that Todd classes in…
We introduce the notion of \emph{joint spectrum} of a compact set of matrices $S \subset GL_d(\mathbb{C})$, which is a multi-dimensional generalization of the joint spectral radius. We begin with a thorough study of its properties (under…
We initiate a systematic study of the perfection of affine group schemes of finite type over fields of positive characteristic. The main result intrinsically characterises and classifies the perfections of reductive groups, and obtains a…
To an inclusion topological groups H->G, we associate a naive G-spectrum. The special case when H=G gives the dualizing spectrum D_G introduced by the author in the first paper of this series. The main application will be to give a purely…
Let W be an associative PI algebra over a field F of characteristic zero, graded by a finite group G. Let id_{G}(W) denote the T-ideal of G-graded identities of W. We prove: 1. {[G-graded PI equivalence]} There exists a field extension K of…
Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to lay the foundations of Algebraic Geometry in homotopical and higher categorical contexts (for part II, see math.AG/0404373). In this first part we investigate a notion of higher topos. For…
We introduce the set $\mathcal{G}^{\rm SSP}$ of all simple graphs $G$ with the property that each symmetric matrix corresponding to a graph $G \in \mathcal{G}^{\rm SSP}$ has the strong spectral property. We find several families of graphs…
This paper is a continuation of ``Operads, Grothendieck topologies and deformation theory'' (alg-geom/9502010). We show how to develop a cohomology theory that would control deformations of a sheaf of associative algebras over a scheme by…
Let G be a reductive group over a non-archimedean local field F. Consider an arbitrary Bernstein block Rep(G)^s in the category of complex smooth G-representations. In earlier work the author showed that there exists an affine Hecke algebra…
Following the approach in the book "Commutative Algebra", by D. Eisenbud, where the author describes the generic initial ideal by means of a suitable total order on the terms of an exterior power, we introduce first the generic initial…
We determine the structure of the weak*-closed $G$-invariant ideals in the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of certain groups $G$ by means of a $K$-theoretical obstruction. The groups to which this applies are groups whose only irreducible…
