We consider a circle of ideas involving differential algebra, local Noetherian rings, and their generic formal fibers. Connecting these ideas gives rise to what we term a "twisted" subring $R$ of a ring $S$. Each such subring $R$ arises as…

We prove that the bidual of a Beurling algebra on $\mathbb{Z}$, considered as a Banach algebra with the first Arens product, can never be semisimple. We then show that ${\rm rad\,}(\ell^{\, 1}(\oplus_{i=1}^\infty \mathbb{Z})")$ contains…

The main result here is that a simple separable C*-algebra is Z-stable (where Z denotes the Jiang-Su algebra) if (i) it has finite nuclear dimension or (ii) it is approximately subhomogeneous with slow dimension growth. This generalizes the…

It is shown that the *-algebra of all (closed densely defined linear) operators affiliated with a finite type I von Neumann algebra admits a unique center-valued trace, which turns out to be, in a sense, normal. It is also demonstrated that…

In classical and real algebraic geometry there are several notions of the radical of an ideal I. There is the vanishing radical defined as the set of all real polynomials vanishing on the real zero set of I, and the real radical defined as…

Let A be a Noetherian ring and B be a finitely generated A-algebra. Denote by A' the integral closure of A in B. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for prime ideals to be in Ass_{A}(B/A') and Ass_{A'}(B/A') generalizing and…

We give an explicit expression for the central elements of affine Hecke algebras of type A in the Coxeter presentation, in terms of (parabolic) affine Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. Our approach is based on a version of quantum affine…

This is an introduction to the algebras $A\subset B(H)$ that the linear operators $T:H\to H$ can form, once a complex Hilbert space $H$ is given. Motivated by quantum mechanics, we are mainly interested in the von Neumann algebras, which…

For a reduced Noetherian ring $R$ of characteristic $p > 0$, in this paper we discuss an extension of $R$ called its perfect closure $R^\infty$. This extension contains all $p^e$-th roots of elements of $R$, and is usually non-Noetherian.…

An ideal I in a Noetherian ring R is normally torsion-free if Ass(R/I^t)=Ass(R/I) for all natural numbers t. We develop a technique to inductively study normally torsion-free square-free monomial ideals. In particular, we show that if a…

We obtain several restrictions on the terms of the ascending central series of a nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ under the presence of a complex structure $J$. In particular, we find a bound for the dimension of the center of $\mathfrak…

Students studying the Lasker-Noether theorem on primary decomposition of ideals may want to see an example of an ideal (necessarily in a non-Noetherian ring) which does not have a primary decomposition. The most well-known counterexample is…

Let $\psi: A \to A'$ be a cyclic contraction of dimer algebras, with $A$ non-cancellative and $A'$ cancellative. $A'$ is then prime, noetherian, and a finitely generated module over its center. In contrast, $A$ is often not prime,…

Using the theory of Dixmier ideals developed in previous work, we show that every semiprime Lie ideal in a C*-algebra arises as the full normalizer subspace of a semiprime two-sided ideal. This leads to a concise description of all…

We study anomalies of non-Abelian discrete symmetries; which part of non-Abelian group is anomaly free and which part can be anomalous. It is found that the anomaly-free elements of the group $G$ generate a normal subgroup $G_0$ of $G$ and…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $N$ be a non-zero finitely generated $R$-module. In this paper, the main result asserts that for any $N$-proper ideal $\frak a$ of $R,$ the $\frak a$-symbolic topology on $N$ is linearly…

Fix $\alpha \in (0,1/3)$. We show that, from a topological point of view, almost all sets $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that, if $A^\prime=A$ for all but $o(n^{\alpha})$ elements, then $A^\prime$ is not a nontrivial sumset…

Let X be a normal complex algebraic variety, and p a prime. We show that there exists an integer N=N(X, p) such that: any non-trivial, irreducible representation of the fundamental group of X, which arises from geometry, must be non-trivial…

The well-known Formanek's module finiteness theorem states that every unital prime PI-algebra (i.e. a central order in a matrix algebra by Posner's theorem) embeds into a finitely generated module over its center. An analogue of this…

We study the relationship between the central ideals and the Jacobson radicals of blocks of group algebras.In particular, we characterize the blocks with the property that the square of the radical is a non-zero central ideal. Moreover, we…
