We show that the common theory of all modules over a tubular algebra (over a recursive algebraically closed field) is decidable. This result supports a long standing conjecture of Mike Prest which says that a finite-dimensional algebra…

Let $T$ be a positive integer, and $\mathcal{M}$ be a finitely presented module over the Laurent polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}_{/T}[X_1^{\pm}, \ldots, X_N^{\pm}]$. We consider S-unit equations over $\mathcal{M}$: these are equations of the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We provide a practical algebraic description of the representation ring of $k\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ modulo projectives. We then investigate a family of modular…

We consider the problem of defining polynomials over function fields of positive characteristic. Among other results, we show that the following assertions are true. 1. Let $\G_p$ be an algebraic extension of a field of $p$ elements and…

In \cite{MacResField} the second author gave a systematic analysis of definability and decidability for rings $\mathcal M/p\mathcal M$, where $\mathcal M$ is a model of Peano Arithmetic and $p$ is a prime in $\mathcal M$. In the present…

Let R be a countable, principal ideal domain which is not a field and A be a countable R-algebra which is free as an R-module. Then we will construct an aleph_1-free R-module G of rank aleph_1 with endomorphism algebra End_RG=A . Clearly…

Let $(K,\nu)$ be an arbitrary-rank valued field, $R_\nu$ its valuation ring, $K(\alpha)/K$ a separable finite field extension generated over $K$ by a root of a monic irreducible polynomial $f\in R_\nu[X]$. We give necessary and sufficient…

Let p be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category R_p of finite p-groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite p-groups among its objects. In R_p, every finite p-group P admits a canonical direct…

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ be the ring of $p$-adic integers. By a purely computational approach we prove that each nonzero normal element of a completed group algebra over the special linear group ${\rm…

Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form $[K;\vfi]$, where $\vfi$ is a ring endomorphism of $K$. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued…

For the ring R of integers of a ramified extension of the field of p-adic numbers and a cyclic group G of prime order p we study the extensions of the additive groups of R-representations modules of G by the group G.

Let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over a perfect field k of characteristic p>0 and let F:R\to R be the Frobenius map of R, i.e. F(r)=r^p. We explicitly describe an R-module isomorphism Hom_R(F_*(M),N)\cong…

Let $R$ be a Dedekind ring, $K$ its quotient field, and $L=K(\alpha)$ a finite field extension of $K$ defined by a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in R[x]$. We give an easy version of Dedekind's criterion which computationally improves…

We prove that every finite dimensional representation of a finite group over a field of characteristic p admits a finite resolution by p-permutation modules. The proof involves a reformulation in terms of derived categories.

Let $F_p$ be the field of a prime order $p$. Then for any positive integer $n>1$, for any $\epsilon>0$, and for any subset $A$ of $F_p$, every element of $F_p$ can be represented as a sum of $N$ elements, each of them is a product of $n$…
