Constructions are given of Noetherian maximal orders that are finitely presented algebras over a field K, defined by monomial relations. In order to do this, it is shown that the underlying homogeneous information determines the algebraic…
We generalise classical reconstruction results in algebra, using the language of monads, monoidal categories, module categories, as well as various notions of duality, such as closedness, Grothendieck--Verdier duality (also known as…
We construct explicitly regular sequences in the semigroup ring $R=\CC[K]$ of lattice points of the graded cone $K$. We conjecture that the quotients of $R$ by these sequences describe locally string-theoretic cohomology of a toroidal…
We prove that the congruence on the tropical rational function semifield in $n$-variables associated with a subset $V$ of $\boldsymbol{R}^n$ is finitely generated if and only if the closure of $V$ is a finite union of…
We define a fragment of monadic infinitary second-order logic corresponding to an abstract separation property. We use this to define the concept of a separation subclass. We use model theoretic techniques and games to show that separation…
In this work, we generalize several topological results and concepts from ring theory to the setting of monoids.
We study toposes of actions of monoids on sets. We begin with ordinary actions, producing a class of presheaf toposes which we characterize. As groundwork for considering topological monoids, we branch out into a study of supercompactly…
We study logics defined in terms of second-order monadic monoidal and groupoidal quantifiers. These are generalized quantifiers defined by monoid and groupoid word-problems, equivalently, by regular and context-free languages. We give a…
A rational function is the ratio of two complex polynomials in one variable without common roots. Its degree is the maximum of the degrees of the numerator and the denominator. Rational functions belong to the same class if one turns into…
Monads in category theory are algebraic structures that can be used to model computational effects in programming languages. We show how the notion of "centre", and more generally "centrality", i.e. the property for an effect to commute…
We give a natural-deduction-style type theory for symmetric monoidal categories whose judgmental structure directly represents morphisms with tensor products in their codomain as well as their domain. The syntax is inspired by Sweedler…
We prove several results concerning finitely generated submonoids of the free monoid. These results generalize those known for free submonoids. We prove in particular that if $X=Y\circ Z$ is a composition of finite sets of words with $Y$…
We show the intimate connection between various mathematical notions that are currently under active investigation: a class of Garside monoids, with a "nice" Garside element, certain monoids $S$ with quadratic relations, whose monoidal…
In this paper, we study some of the factorization aspects of rational multicyclic monoids, that is, additive submonoids of the nonnegative rational numbers generated by multiple geometric sequences. In particular, we provide a complete…
The monadic second-order theory of trees allows quantification over elements and over arbitrary subsets. We classify the class of trees with respect to the question: does a tree T have definable Skolem functions (by a monadic formula with…
We generalize the notion of identities among relations, well known for presentations of groups, to presentations of n-categories by polygraphs. To each polygraph, we associate a track n-category, generalizing the notion of crossed module…
We establish a set of general results to study how the Galois action on modular tensor categories interacts with fusion subcategories. This includes a characterization of fusion subcategories of modular tensor categories which are closed…
Algebraic theories, sometimes called equational theories, are syntactic notions given by finitary operations and equations, such as monoids, groups, and rings. There is a well-known category-theoretic treatment of them that algebraic…
We study the geometry of algebraic monoids. We prove that the group of invertible elements of an irreducible algebraic monoid is an algebraic group, open in the monoid. Moreover, if this group is reductive, then the monoid is affine. We…
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a prime Noetherian algebra K[S] of a submonoid S of a polycyclic-by-finite group G to be a maximal order. These conditions are entirely in terms of the monoid S. This extends earlier results…
