Using an analogy between the Brauer groups in algebra and the Whitehead groups in topology, we first use methods of algebraic K-theory to give a natural definition of Brauer spectra for commutative rings, such that their homotopy groups are…

We define the algebraic fundamental group functor of a reductive group scheme over an arbitrary (non-empty) base scheme and prove that this functor is exact.

We give a unified description of twisted forms of classical reductive groups schemes. Such group schemes are constructed from algebraic objects of finite rank, excluding some exceptions of small rank. These objects, augmented odd form…

The dual Lie bialgebra of a certain ``quasitriangular'' Lie bialgebra structure on the Heisenberg Lie algebra determines a (non-compact) Poisson--Lie group G. The compatible Poisson bracket on G is non-linear, but it can still be realized…

After discussing some basic facts about generalized module maps, we use the representation theory of the algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert B-module E to show that the quotient of the group of generalized unitaries on E and its…

We calculate the algebraic $K$-theory of the coordinate ring of a planar cuspidal curve over a regular $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra, thereby verifying a conjecture due to Hesselholt. In the course of the proof we compute the Picard group of the…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring of unequal characteristic with fraction field K which contains a primitive p^2-th root of unity. Let X be a faithfully flat R-scheme and G be a finite abstract group. Let us consider a G-torsor Y_K\to X_K…

In this paper, we propose a new conjecture describing the structure of the unitary dual in terms of Arthur representations for connected reductive algebraic groups defined over any non-Archimedean local field of characteristic zero. This…

We present a systematic effective method to construct coarse fundamental domains for the action of the Picard modular groups $PU(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d)$ where $\mathcal{O}_d$ has class number one, i.e. $d=1,2,3,7,11,19,43,67,163$. The…

This is a survey paper about representation theory and noncommutative geometry of reductive p-adic groups G. The main focus points are: 1. The structure of the Hecke algebra H(G), the Harish-Chandra-Schwartz algebra S(G) and the reduced…

We fit the Brauer group of a $\mu_r$-gerbe over a (possibly arbitrarily singular) stacky curve into an exact sequence and give characterizations for when it is short exact and conditions for when it splits. We also give a precise formula…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime, and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$. We introduce the notion of an endotrivial chain complex of $p$-permutation $kG$-modules, which are the invertible objects in the bounded homotopy category of…

For the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ of a finite group $G$, we provide an effective method to compute a complete set of matrix units and, in particular, primitive orthogonal idempotents in a simple component of $\mathbb{Q}G$, which…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve over the complex numbers and let $G$ be a simple simply-connected complex algebraic group. Let $\mathfrak M=\mathfrak M(G,\mathcal C)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal…

A torsor under a k-group scheme G on a variety X over a number field k imposes a descent obstruction against the existence of rational points on X. We discuss the finite descent obstruction, that is for all such torsors under finite…

We introduce the Picard group of corings. We extend the well-known exact sequence from algebras and coalgebras over fields to corings. We extend the Aut-Pic property to corings and we give some new examples of corings having this property.…

We prove that the Picard group of a connected affine algebraic group $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of the derived subgroup of the reductive algebraic group $G/{\mathscr R}_u(G)$, where ${\mathscr R}_u(G)$ is the unipotent…

We develop some general tools for computing the Brauer group of a tame algebraic stack $\mathscr X$ by studying the difference between it and the Brauer group of the coarse space $X$ of $\mathscr X$. It is our hope that these tools will be…
