We establish doubly-exponential degree bounds for Gr\"obner bases in certain algebras of solvable type over a field (as introduced by Kandri-Rody and Weispfenning). The class of algebras considered here includes commutative polynomial…

Using Wederburn's main theorem and a result of Gerstenhaber we prove that, over a field of characteristic zero, the maximal dimension of a proper unital subalgebra in the $n \times n$ matrix algebra is $n^2 - n + 1$ and furthermore this…

Koszul property was generalized to homogeneous algebras of degree N>2 in [5], and related to N-complexes in [7]. We show that if the N-homogeneous algebra A is generalized Koszul, AS-Gorenstein and of finite global dimension, then one can…

This thesis is concerned with studying the properties of gradings on several examples of cluster algebras, primarily of infinite type. We first consider two finite type cases: $B_n$ and $C_n$, completing a classification by Grabowski for…

We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

We study a notion of indecomposability in differential algebraic groups which is inspired by both model theory and differential algebra. After establishing some basic definitions and results, we prove an indecomposability theorem for…

We consider an abelian variety defined over a number field. We give conditional bounds for the order of its Tate-Shafarevich group, as well as conditional bounds for the N\'eron-Tate height of generators of its Mordell-Weil group. The…

We review results on the first Hochschild cohomology vector space of a finite dimensional algebra, in particular for path algebras modulo a "pre-generated" ideal. In case of a monomial algebra whose quiver has no oriented cycles, a…

It is a classic result of Segerberg and Maksimova that a variety of $\mathsf{S4}$-algebras is locally finite iff it is of finite depth. Since the logic $\mathsf{MS4}$ (monadic $\mathsf{S4}$) axiomatizes the one-variable fragment of…

Let $H$ be the Hopf algebra $H_{c: \sigma_{0}}$ of Kashina [J. Algebra, 232(2000),pp.617-663]. We give all simple Yetter-Drinfel'd modules $V$ over $H$, then classify all finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of $V$. The finite dimensional…

We introduce parabolic degenerations of rational Cherednik algebras of complex reflection groups, and use them to give necessary conditions for finite-dimensionality of an irreducible lowest weight module for the rational Cherednik algebra…

Determining when a finite dimensional algebra satisfies the finiteness property known as the $(\textbf{Fg})$-condition is of fundamental importance in the celebrated and influential theory of support varieties. We give an answer to this…

We compare the maximal dimension of abelian subalgebras and the maximal dimension of abelian ideals for finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We show that these dimensions coincide for solvable Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field of…

Let $f : X \to S$ be a family of smooth projective algebraic varieties over a smooth connected quasi-projective base $S$, and let $\mathbb{V} = R^{2k} f_{*} \mathbb{Z}(k)$ be the integral variation of Hodge structure coming from degree $2k$…

Two theorems witnessing the abundance of geometrically trivial strongly minimal autonomous differential equations of arbitrary order are shown. The first one states that a generic algebraic vector field of degree $d\geq 2$ on the affine…

Graded Hecke algebras can be constructed in terms of equivariant cohomology and constructible sheaves on nilpotent cones. In earlier work, their standard modules and their irreducible modules where realized with such geometric methods. We…

The Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem says that a general collection of $k$ double points in ${\bf P}^n$ imposes independent conditions on homogeneous polynomials of degree $d$ with a well known list of exceptions. We generalize this theorem to…

We consider two non-degenerate potentials for the quiver arising from the once-punctured torus, which are a natural choice to study and compare: the first is the Labardini-potential, yielding a finite-dimensional Jacobian algebra, whereas…

We study the class of Bernstein algebras that are algebraic, in the sense that each element generates a finite-dimensional subalgebra. Every Bernstein algebra has a maximal algebraic ideal, and the quotient algebra is a zero-multiplication…

Let F be characteristic zero field, G a residually finite group and W a G-prime and PI F-algebra. By constructing G-graded central polynomials for W, we prove the G-graded version of Posner's theorem. More precisely, if S denotes all…
