We reobtain and often refine prior criteria due to Kaplansky, McGovern, Roitman, Shchedryk, Wiegand, and Zabavsky--Bilavska and obtain new criteria for a Hermite ring to be an \textsl{EDR}. We mention three criteria: (1) a Hermite ring $R$…

In a sufficiently rich category, such as a category of R-modules, and a given infinite cardinal $\kappa$, we examine classes $\Cal H^\kappa_*$ of objects M, such that the following natural monomorphism is an isomorphism: $$\prod_{i\in…

Connections between heaps of modules and (affine) modules over rings are explored. This leads to explicit, often constructive, descriptions of some categorical constructions and properties that are implicit in universal algebra and…

Let $W\in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\cdots,x_N]$ be an invertible polynomial with an isolated singularity at origin, and let $G\subset {{\sf SL}}_N\cap (\mathbb{C}^*)^N$ be a finite diagonal and special linear symmetry group of $W$. In this paper, we…

A factorization of a permutation into transpositions is called "primitive" if its factors are weakly ordered. We discuss the problem of enumerating primitive factorizations of permutations, and its place in the hierarchy of previously…

Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…

Let $R$ be an integral domain. For elements $a,b \in R$, let $[a,b]$ denote their greatest common divisor, if it exists. We say that $R$ has the Z-property if whenever $a,b,c,d$ and $e$ are nonzero nonunits of $R$ such that $abc=de$, then…

The dynamical symmetries of the Kratzer-type molecular potentials (generalized Kratzer molecular potentials) are studied by using the factorization method. The creation and annihilation (ladder) operators for the radial eigenfunctions…

For a given algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ we consider the set ${\mathcal C}_k$, of graded isomorphism classes of {\em standard graded pairs} $(R, I)$, where $R$ is a standard graded ring over the field and $I$ is a…

A matrix factorization problem is considered. The matrix to be factorized is algebraic, has dimension 2 X 2 and belongs to Moiseev's class. A new method of factorization is proposed. First, the matrix factorization problem is reduced to a…

We prove that, for certain extensions of valued fields which admit a sensible theory of ramification groups, there exist canonical towers that correspond to the break-points of their Herbrand function. In particular, each of the…

The factorization of the universal R-matrix corresponding to so called Drinfeld Hopf structure is described on the example of quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_2)$. As a result of factorization procedure we deduce certain differential…

We classify semisimple rigid monoidal categories with two isomorphism classes of simple objects over the field of complex numbers. In the appendix written by P.Etingof it is proved that the number of semisimple Hopf algebras with a given…

We study the moduli space $\mathfrak M_k^r(\tilde{\mathbb P}^2_{\!q})$ of rank $r$ holomorphic bundles with trivial determinant and second Chern class $c_2=k$, over the blowup $\tilde{\mathbb P}^2_{\!q}$ of the projective plane at $q$…

Motivated by periodicity theorems for Real $K$-theory and Grothendieck--Witt theory and, separately, work of Hori-Walcher on the physics of Landau-Ginzburg orientifolds, we introduce and study categories of Real matrix factorizations. Our…

Motivated by the study of heavy-light meson production within the framework of heavy quark effective theory (HQET) factorization, we extend the factorization formalism for a rather complicated process $W^+\to B^+\ell^+\ell^-$ in the limit…

We study categories of matrix factorizations. These categories are defined for any regular function on a suitable regular scheme. Our paper has two parts. In the first part we develop the foundations; for example we discuss derived direct…

We associate a monoidal category $\mathcal{H}_B$, defined in terms of planar diagrams, to any graded Frobenius superalgebra $B$. This category acts naturally on modules over the wreath product algebras associated to $B$. To $B$ we also…

We construct an iterative method for factorising small strict n-categories into a unique (up to isomorphism) collection of small 1- categories. Following this we develop the theory to include a large class of $\infty$-categories. We use…

A finitely generated module C over a commutative noetherian ring R is semidualizing if Hom_R(C,C) \cong R and Ext^i_R(C,C) = 0 for all i \geq 1. For certain local Cohen-Macaulay rings (R,m), we verify the equality of Hilbert-Samuel…
