The current paper is dedicated to the study of the classical $K_1$ groups of graded rings. Let $A$ be a $\Gamma$ graded ring with identity $1$, where the grading $\Gamma$ is an abelian group. We associate a category with suspension to the…

Spectral Mackey functors are homotopy-coherent versions of ordinary Mackey functors as defined by Dress. We show that they can be described as excisive functors on a suitable infinity-category, and we use this to show that universal…

We classify finite \'{e}tale extensions and finite affine \'{e}tale group schemes over the $G$-Tambara functor $\underline{\mathbb{F}}$, for $\mathbb{F}$ any algebraically closed field and $G$ any finite group. This establishes $G$-Galois…

Given a compact Lie group $G$ acting on a space $X$, the classical Atiyah-Segal completion theorem identifies topological $K$-theory of the homotopy quotient $X/G$ with an explicit completion of $G$-equivariant topological $K$-theory of…

In this paper we consider algebras with involution over a ring C which is given by the quadratic extension by i of an ordered ring R. We discuss the *-representation theory of such *-algebras on pre-Hilbert spaces over C and develop the…

Given a rigid tensor-triangulated category and a vector space valued homological functor for which the K\"{u}nneth isomorphism holds, we construct a universal graded-Tannakian category through which the given homological functor factors. We…

A Tannakian category is an abelian tensor category equipped with a fiber functor and additional structures which ensure that it is equivalent to the category of representations of some affine groupoid scheme acting on the spectrum of a…

A $GL_d$-pseudocharacter is a function from a group $\Gamma$ to a ring $k$ satisfying polynomial relations which make it "look like" the character of a representation. When $k$ is an algebraically closed field, Taylor proved that…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$ with maximal compact subgroup $K_{\mathbb{R}}$. Associated to $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ is a $K \times…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, possibly zero, and $G=q$-$\GL_3(k)$, the quantum group of three by three matrices as defined by Dipper and Donkin. We may also take $G$ to be $\GL_3(k)$. We first determine the…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over $F$. For a parabolic subgroup $Q\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\quad\quad\quad\quad…

Tilting theory has been a very important tool in the classification of finite dimensional algebras of finite and tame representation type, as well as, in many other branches of mathematics. Happel [Ha] proved that generalized tilting…

In infinitesimal deformation theory, a classical criterion due to Schlessinger gives an intrinsic characterisation of functors that are pro-representable, and more generally, of the ones that have a hull. Our result is that in this setting…

The first word in the title is intended in a sense suggested by Lawvere and Schanuel whereby finite sets are objective natural numbers. At the objective level, the axioms defining abstract Mackey and Tambara functors are categorically…

We establish a novel approach to computing $G$-equivariant cohomology for a finite group $G$, and demonstrate it in the case that $G = C_{p^n}$. For any commutative ring spectrum $R$, we prove a symmetric monoidal reconstruction theorem for…

Let $\Lambda$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded artin algebra. Two classical results of Gordon and Green state that if $\Lambda$ has only finitely many indecomposable gradable modules, up to isomorphism, then $\Lambda$ has finite representation…

We prove a long-standing conjecture of Geck which predicts that cuspidal unipotent characters remain irreducible after $\ell$-reduction. To this end, we construct a progenerator for the category of representations of a finite reductive…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. To every ideal in $\ell^{\infty}(\G)$ we associate a C$^*$-algebra completion of the group ring that encapsulates the unitary representations with matrix coefficients belonging to the ideal. The general…

Let $A$ be an abelian group such that $\mathrm{Hom}(G,A)$ is finite for all finite groups $G$, and let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field of characteristic zero containing roots of unity of all orders equal to finite element orders in $A$. In this…

Let A denote either the automorphism group of the free group of rank n>=4 or the mapping class group of an orientable surface of genus n>=12 with at most 1 boundary component, and let G be either the subgroup of IA-automorphisms or the…
