Let R be a ring, M a nonzero left R-module, X an infinite set, and E the endomorphism ring of the direct sum of copies of M indexed by X. Given two subrings S and S' of E, we will say that S is equivalent to S' if there exists a finite…

We characterize the nil clean matrix rings over fields. As a by product, it is proved that the full matrix rings with coefficients in commutative nil-clean rings are nil-clean, and we obtain a complete characterization of the finite rank…

Given a commutative ring $R$ and finitely generated ideal $I$, one can consider the classes of $I$-adically complete, $L_0^I$-complete and derived $I$-complete complexes. Under a mild assumption on the ideal $I$ called weak pro-regularity,…

We study the construction and properties of modules whose endomorphism rings have a unique two-sided maximal ideal.

We describe inertial endomorphisms of an abelian group $A$, that is endomorphisms $\varphi$ with the property $|(\varphi(X)+X)/X|<\infty$ for each $X\le A$. They form a ring containing multiplications, the so-called finitary endomorphisms…

Let $A$ be a non-isotrivial almost ordinary abelian surface with possibly bad reductions over a global function field of odd characteristic $p$. Suppose $\Delta$ is an infinite set of positive integers, such that…

We embed a countably categorical group G into a locally compact group c(G) with a non-trivial topology and study how topological properties of c(G) are connected with the structure of definable subgroups of G.

In this paper we review and study $R$-modules $M$ for which $S = End_R(M)$ is commutative. For this, we define the concept of center of modules which is a natural generalization of the center of rings. The properties of center of modules,…

Various limit-free formulas are given for the computation of the algebraic and the topological entropy, respectively in the settings of endomorphisms of locally finite discrete groups and of continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb Q_p$ with ring of integers $\mathcal O_K$, $\mathcal X$ a regular scheme, proper, flat, and geometrically irreducible over $\mathcal O_K$ of dimension $d$, and $\mathcal X_K$…

It is proved that any infinite Abelian group of infinite exponent admits a non-discrete reflexive group topology.

We prove that a finitely generated group contains a sequence of non-trivial elements which converge to the identity in every compact homomorphic image if and only if the group is not virtually abelian.

By a recent result of Juh\'{a}sz and van Mill, a locally compact topological group whose dense subspaces are all separable is metrizable. In this note we investigate the following question: is every locally compact group having all dense…

The theory of p-local compact groups, developed in an earlier paper by the same authors, is designed to give a unified framework in which to study the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and p-compact groups,…

This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

What are all rings $R$ for which $R^*$ (the group of invertible elements of $R$ under multiplication) is an elementary abelian $p$-group? We answer this question for finite-dimensional commutative $k$-algebras, finite commutative rings,…

We present a series of examples of nondiscrete reflexive P-groups (i.e., groups in which all $G_\delta$-sets are open) as well as noncompact reflexive $\omega$-bounded groups (in which the closure of every countable set is compact). Our…

A module is called absolutely indecomposable if it is directly indecomposable in every generic extension of the universe. We want to show the existence of large abelian groups that are absolutely indecomposable. This will follow from a more…

Suppose R is any localization of the ring of integers of a number field. We show that the K-theory of finitely generated R-modules, and the K-theory of locally compact R-modules, are Anderson duals in the K(1)-local homotopy category. The…
