In this paper we introduce elements of algebraic geometry over an arbitrary algebraic structure. We prove Unification Theorems which gather the description of coordinate algebras by several ways.

The Lipschitz geometry of segments of the infinite Hamming cube is studied. Tight estimates on the distortion necessary to embed the segments into spaces of continuous functions on countable compact metric spaces are given. As an…

Let $M$ be complete nonpositively curved Riemannian manifold of finite volume whose fundamental group $\Gamma$ does not contain a finite index subgroup which is a product of infinite groups. We show that the universal cover $\tilde M$ is a…

Let $K$ be a number field and $G$ a finite abelian group. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of tamely ramified $G$-extensions of $K$ with ring of integers of fixed realisable class as a Galois module.

For a simple Lie algebra g we consider an analogue of the affine algebra ^gk with n singularities, defined starting from the ring of functions on the n-pointed disk. We study the center of its completed enveloping algebra and prove an…

The aim of this paper is to study the topological properties of algebraic sets with zero divisors. We impose a subbasic topology on the set of proper ideals of a $k$-algebra and this new ``$k$-space'' becomes a generalization of the…

We present in detail the geometric framework necessary to understand the Teukolsky equation and we develop in particular the case of Kerr spacetime.

Let B be a ring and $A=B[X,Y]/(aX^2+bXY+cY^2-1)$ where $a,b,c\in B$. We study the smoothness of A over B, and the regularity of B when B is a ring of algebraic integers.

Let $K$ be a Birch field, that is, a field for which every diagonal form of odd degree in sufficiently many variables admits a non-zero solution; for example, $K$ could be the field of rational numbers. Let $f_1, \ldots, f_r$ be homogeneous…

We determine the skew fields of fractions of the enveloping algebra of the Lie superalgebra osp(1, 2) and of some significant subsu-peralgebras of the Lie superalgebra osp(1, 4). We compare the kinds of skew fields arising from this "super"…

We show that the space of Belyi maps admits a natural parametrization by an infinite-dimensional sphere arising from Voiculescu's theory of noncommutative probability spaces. We show that this sphere decomposes into sectors, each of which…

In this paper, we give a different proof of the fact that the $C^{*}$ algebra of the odd dimensional quantum spheres is a groupoid $C*}$ algebra. We use the theory of inverse semigroups to reconstruct the groupoid given by Sheu in [6].

Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…

Based on the projective matrix spaces studied by B. Schwarz and A. Zaks, we study the notion of projective space associated to a C*-algebra A with a fixed projection p. The resulting space P(p) admits a rich geometrical structure as a…

The quaternionic unit ball carries a Riemannian metric built using regular M\"obius transformations: the slice Riemannian metric. We prove that the geometry induced by this metric is strongly related to the group $\mathrm{Sp}(1,1)$. We also…

In Lie sphere geometry, a cycle in $\RR^n$ is either a point or an oriented sphere or plane of codimension $1$, and it is represented by a point on a projective surface $\Omega\subset \PP^{n+2}$. The Lie product, a bilinear form on the…

For a smooth, projective, complex algebraic variety $X$, the Riemann--Hilbert correspondence establishes a complex analytic isomorphism between the `Betti moduli space' of rank $n$ local systems on $X^\mathrm{an}$ and the `de Rham moduli…

In this survey paper we give an historical and at the same time thematical overview of the development of ring geometry from its origin to the current state of the art. A comprehensive up-to-date list of literature is added with articles…

The Hurwitz space is a compactification of the space of rational functions of a given degree. We study the intersection of various strata of this space with its boundary. A study of the cohomology ring of the Hurwitz space then allows us to…

We prove that the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a cylinder over a surface with boundary, defined over complex numbers, is isomorphic to the observables of an appropriate lattice gauge field theory.
