Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $G$ be a finite cyclic group of order $n$. In this note we prove, using induction on the number of prime divisors of $n$, that $R_K(G)/I \cong \mathbb{Z}[X]/\langle…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and let $G\subset \mathbb{F}\setminus \{0\}$ be a multiplicative subgroup. We consider the category $\mathcal{Cob}_G$ of $3$-dimensional cobordisms equipped with a representation of their fundamental group in…

A representation $V$ of an algebraic group $G$ induces a vector bundle $[V/G] \to BG$. The representation $V$ of $G$ is neutral if, for every twisted form $\mathcal{V} \to \mathcal{G}$ of $[V/G] \to BG$ over a field $k$, we have…

We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…

In this paper we apply Rieffel deformation to C*- tensor product viewed as a functor on the category of C*-algebras with an abelian group action. In the case of the Rieffel deformation of a quantum group with the action by automorphisms the…

We establish a number of results which say, roughly, that interpretation functors preserve algebraic complexity. First we show that representation embeddings between categories of modules of finite-dimensional algebras induce embeddings of…

These notes provide an informal introduction to a type of Mackey functor that arises naturally in algebraic topology in connection with Morava $K$-theory of classifying spaces of finite groups. The main aim is to identify key algebraic…

For a oriented genus g surface with one boundary component, S, the Torelli group is the group of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of S that induce the identity on homology. The Magnus representation of the Torelli group represents the…

We study abelian quotient categories A=T/J, where T is a triangulated category and J is an ideal of T. Under the assumption that the quotient functor is cohomological we show that it is representable and give an explicit description of the…

We study criteria for a ring - or more generally, for a small category - to be Gorenstein and for a module over it to be of finite projective dimension. The goal is to unify the universal coefficient theorems found in the literature and to…

Let $G$ be a groupoid acting on a set $X$ and let $R$ be a $G$-graded ring with graded local units. We study the main properties of the category $gr-(R,G,X)$ of $X$-graded $R$-modules and adjoint functors between categories of this kind. We…

The notion of quantized characters is introduced in our previous paper as a natural quantization of characters in the context of asymptotic representation theory for compact quantum groups. As in the case of ordinary groups, the…

In this series of papers, we investigate properties of a finite group which are determined by its low degree irreducible representations over a number field $F$, i.e. its representations on matrix rings $\operatorname{M}_n(D)$ with $n \leq…

Let $G$ be a finite group. For a based $G$-space $X$ and a Mackey functor $M$, a topological Mackey functor $X\widetilde\otimes M$ is constructed, which will be called the stable equivariant abelianization of $X$ with coefficients in $M$.…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

Functor morphing provides a method to translate complex representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over finite rings to representations of automorphism groups of functors in some abelian category. In this paper we give an…
