We associate a graph to a possible non-zero zero-divisor in the group algebra of a torsion-free group.

A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…

Nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings are introduced and discussed. A problem on the existence of nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings of free Burnside groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is solved in the affirmative.…

For any field $\mathbb{F}$ and all torison-free group $\mathbb{G}$, we prove that if $ab = 0$ for some non-zero $a, b \in \mathbb{F}[\mathbb{G}]$ such that $|supp(a)|$ $= 3$ and $a = 1 + \alpha_{1}g_{1} + \alpha_{2}g_{2}$, then $g_{1},…

We show that the Lie's Theorem holds for Lie color algebras with a torsion-free abelian group $G$. We give an example to show that the torsion-free condition is necessary.

We give a condition sufficient to ensure that an amalgam of groups is generalized torsion-free. As applications, we construct a closed 3-manifold whose fundamental group is generalized torsion-free and non bi-orderable; a one-relator group…

We define a class $\mathcal{U}$ of solvable groups of finite abelian section rank which includes all such groups that are virtually torsion-free as well as those that are finitely generated. Assume that $G$ is a group in $\mathcal{U}$ and…

A proof of the Borel completeness of torsion free abelian groups is presented. This proof differs considerably from the approach of Paolini-Shelah.

In this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions that must be met for weighted composition operators to act as zero divisors in $\mathcal{B}(\ell^p).$ We also give a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for a…

In the present paper, we give some sufficient conditions for $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ to be torsionfree, where $\operatorname{Cl}(\Bbbk[P])$ denote the divisor class group of the toric ring $\Bbbk[P]$ of an integral polytope $P$. We…

Let F be an infinite field. We prove that the right zero divisors of a three-dimensional associative F-algebra A must form the union of at most finitely many linear subspaces of A. The proof is elementary and written with students as the…

A new simple way to prove the Frobenius conjecture on the dimensions of real algebras without zero divisors is given.

We discuss the decomposability of torsion-free abelian groups. We show that among computable groups of finite rank this property is $\Sigma^0_3$-complete. However, when we consider groups of infinite rank, it becomes $\Sigma^1_1$-complete,…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite separability of monogenic rings. As a corollary, we prove that a finitely generated torsion-free PI-ring is finitely separable if and only if its additive group is finitely…

We construct a non-free but aleph_1-separable, torsion-free abelian group G with a pure free subgroup B such that all subgroups of G disjoint from B are free and such that G/B is divisible. This answers a question of Irwin and shows that a…

We prove a variant of the Titchmarsh convolution theorem for simply connected supersolvable Lie groups, namely we show that the convolution algebras of compactly supported continuous functions and compactly supported finite measures on such…

In this article we give a sufficient and necessary condition to determine wether or not an element of the free group induces a non-trivial element of the free Burnside group of sufficiently large odd exponent. This criterion can be stated…

Some general criteria to produce explicit free algebras inside the division ring of fractions of skew polynomial rings are presented. These criteria are applied to some special cases of division rings with natural involutions, yielding, for…

In this note we show that given a smooth affine variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ and an effective (possibly non reduced) Cartier divisor $D$ on it, the Kerz-Saito Chow group of zero cycles with modulus ${\rm CH}_0(X|D)$ is…

We show that in a tracial and finitely generated $W^\ast$-probability space existence of conjugate variables excludes algebraic relations for the generators. Moreover, under the assumption of maximal non-microstates free entropy dimension,…
