We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…

We study the approximately finite-dimensional (AF) $C^*$-algebras that appear as inductive limits of sequences of finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras and left-invertible embeddings. We show that there is such a separable AF-algebra $\mathcal…

We introduce the notion of reflexivity for combinatory algebras. Reflexivity can be thought of as an equational counterpart of the Meyer-Scott axiom of combinatory models, which indeed allows us to characterise an equationally definable…

We investigate infinite dimensional modules for a linear algebraic group $\mathbb G$ over a field of positive characteristic $p$. For any subcoalgebra $C \subset \mathcal O(\mathbb G)$ of the coordinate algebra of $\mathbb G$, we consider…

Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…

Superconformal algebras embedding space-time in any dimension and signature are considered. Different real forms of the $R$-symmetries arise both for usual space-time signature (one time) and for Euclidean or exotic signatures (more than…

For a Lie algebra $L$ and a subalgebra $M$ of $L$ we say that a subalgebra $U$ of $L$ is a {\em supplement} to $M$ in $L$ if $L = M + U$. We investigate those Lie algebras all of whose maximal subalgebras have abelian supplements, those…

We present a collection of observations and results concerning submeasures on Boolean algebras. They are all motivated by Maharam's problem and Talagrand's construction that solved it.

We construct compact quantum metric spaces (CQMS) starting with some C*algebra extension with a positive splitting. As special cases we discuss the case of Toeplitz algebra, quantum SU(2) and Podles sphere.

We construct uncountably generated algebras inside the following sets of special functions: Sierpi\'nski-Zygmund functions, perfectly everywhere surjective functions and nowhere continuous Darboux functions. All conclusions obtained in this…

It is well known that there is a correspondence between sets and complete, atomic Boolean algebras (CABA's) taking a set to its power-set and, reciprocally, a complete, atomic Boolean algebra to its set of atomic elements. Of course, such a…

Let $\Lambda$ be a radical square zero Nakayama algebra with $n$ simple modules and let $\Gamma$ be the Auslander algebra of $\Lambda$. Then every indecomposable direct summand of a tilting $\Gamma$-module is either simple or projective.…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, let $A$ be a partially ordered algebra, and let $\pi\colon \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm c}(X)\to A$ be a positive algebra homomorphism. Under conditions on $A$ that are satisfied in a good number of…

Rao and Zhao classified the irreducible integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces for the untwisted affine superalgebras which are not $\hat{A}(m,n)$ ($m\ne n$) or $\hat{C}(m)$. Here we treat the latter affine superalgebras…

We consider affine representable algebras, that is, finitely generated algebras over a field that can be embedded into some matrix algebra over a commutative algebra. We show that this algebra can in fact be chosen to be a polynomial…

We determine all composition-closed equational classes of Boolean functions. These classes provide a natural generalization of clones and iterative algebras: they are closed under composition, permutation and identification…

For a quantum group, we study those right coideal subalgebras, for which all irreducible representations are one-dimensional. If a right coideal subalgebra is maximal with this property, then we call it a Borel subalgebra. Besides the…

Let $X$ be a set of cardinality $\kappa$ such that $\kappa^\omega=\kappa$. We prove that the linear algebra $\mathbb{R}^X$ (or $\mathbb{C}^X$) contains a free linear algebra with $2^\kappa$ generators. Using this, we prove several…

We establish the existence of complete K\"ahler metrics of semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature with many zeroes in an interesting and natural geometric setting. Specifically, we use Calabi's Ansatz in the form due to Koiso-Sakane…

The factorizable vectors of a complete Boolean algebra of type I factors, acting on a separable Hilbert space, are shown to be total, resolving a conjecture of Araki and Woods. En route, the spectral theory of noise-type Boolean algebras of…
