Kaplansky Zero Divisor Conjecture states that if $G $ is a torsion free group and $ \mathbb{F} $ is a field, then the group ring $\mathbb{F}[G]$ contains no zero divisor and Kaplansky Unit Conjecture states that if $G $ is a torsion free…
Let A denote the algebraic closure of the rationals Q in the complex numbers C. Suppose G is a torsion-free group which contains a congruence subgroup as a normal subgroup of finite index and denote by U(G) the C-algebra of closed densely…
In this paper, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for a regular element of a quantum cluster algebra $\mathcal{O}_q(\mathcal{X})$ to be universally polynomial. This resolves several conjectures by the first author on the…
Let $K \langle X\rangle$ be the free associative algebra freely generated over the field $K$ by the countable set $X = \{x_1, x_2, \ldots\}$. If $A$ is an associative $K$-algebra, we say that a polynomial $f(x_1,\ldots, x_n) \in K \langle…

For which groups $G$ is it true that for all fields $k$, every non-monomial element of the group algebra $k\,G$ generates a proper $2$-sided ideal? The only groups for which we know this are the torsion-free abelian groups. We would like to…
Let $K$ be a field, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$, and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $K$. We show that if $D$ is one of $K(x;\sigma)$ or $K(x;\delta)$, then $D$ either contains a free algebra over its center on two generators, or…
Let G be a group and let K be a field of characteristic zero. We shall prove that KG can be embedded into a von Neumann unit-regular ring. In the course of the proof, we shall obtain a result relevant to the Atiyah conjecture.
Let $K$ be a commutative compact hypergroup and $L^1(K)$ the hypergroup algebra. We show that $L^1(K)$ is amenable if and only if $\pi_K$, the Plancherel weight on the dual space $\widehat{K}$, is bounded. Furthermore, we show that if $K$…
In his $1994$ survey, Kleinert defined formally and formulated the problem to obtain unit theorems for unit groups of orders in a semisimple algebra $A$. If $A$ is a group algebra $FG$, it boils down to classifying all finite groups $G$…
It is shown that a probabilistic identity on a $\sigma$-compact $K$-analytic group $G$, $K$ a non-archimedean local field, is a coset identity. As an application, one concludes that compact $K$-analytic groups and various pro-$p$ groups…
For a finite group $G$, let $\tilde{\mathbb{Z}}$ be the semilocalization of $\mathbb{Z}$ at the prime divisors of $|G|$. If $G$ is a Frobenius group with Frobenius kernel $K$, it is shown that each torsion unit in the group ring…
Let $FI(X,K)$ be the finitary incidence algebra of a poset $X$ over a field $K$. In this short note we establish when $FI(X,K)$ satisfies a polynomial identity and when its group of units $\mathcal{U}(FI(X,K))$ satisfies a group identity.…

Explicit generators are found for the group $G_2$ of automorphisms of the algebra $\mS_2$ of one-sided inverses of a polynomial algebra in two variables over a field of characteristic zero. Moreover, it is proved that $$ G_2\simeq…
We construct equivariant $KK$-theory with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ as suitable inductive limits over ${\rm II}_1$-factors. We show that the Kasparov product, together with its usual functorial properties,…
We study certain polynomial trace identities in the group $SL(2,\IC)$ and their application in the theory of discrete groups. We obtain canonical representations for two generator groups in \S 4 and then in \S 5 we give a new proof for…
