Let V be a compact real analytic surface with isolated singularities embedded in $R^N$, and assume its smooth part is equipped with a Riemannian metric that is induced from some analytic Riemannian metric on $R^N$. We prove: 1. Each point…

We use the isomorphisms between the $R$-matrix and Drinfeld presentations of the quantum affine algebras in types $B$, $C$ and $D$ produced in our previous work to describe finite-dimensional irreducible representations in the $R$-matrix…

If $\mathbb{F}$ is an ordered field and $M$ is a finite-rank torsion-free monoid, then one can embed $M$ into a finite-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}$ via the inclusion $M \hookrightarrow \text{gp}(M) \hookrightarrow \mathbb{F}…

Let $R$ be a ring and let $\mathcal C$ be a small class of right $R$-modules which is closed under finite direct sums, direct summands, and isomorphisms. Let $\mathcal V (\mathcal C)$ denote a set of representatives of isomorphism classes…

Let $H$ be a connected reductive subgroup of a complex connected reductive group $G$. Fix maximal tori and Borel subgroups of $H$ and $G$. Consider the pairs $(V,V')$ of irreducible representations of $H$ and $G$ such that $V$ is a…

An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…

We study the class of monoids that arise as the submonoid of right units of finitely presented special inverse monoids (SIMs). Gray and Ru\v{s}kuc (2024) gave the first example of a finitely presented SIM whose submonoid of right units does…

Let G be a complex reductive group and V a G-module. Let \pi: V \to V//G be the quotient morphism and set N(V) = \pi^{-1}(\pi(0)). We consider the following question. Is the null cone N(V) reduced, i.e., is the ideal of N(V) generated by…

We investigate the complexity of isomorphism relations for classes of finitely generated and n-generated computably enumerable (c.e.) algebras, presented via c.e. presentations -- that is, as quotients of term algebras over decidable sets…

We prove that the class of finitely presented inverse monoids whose Sch\"utzenberger graphs are quasi-isometric to trees has a uniformly solvable word problem, furthermore, the languages of their Sch\"utzenberger automata are context-free.…

We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten representation of a mapping class group of an orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image. This generalizes work of Etingof, Rowell and Witherspoon showing that the braid group images…

Let $R$ be a finite ring and let $M, N$ be two finite left $R$-modules. We present two distinct deterministic algorithms that decide in polynomial time whether or not $M$ and $N$ are isomorphic, and if they are, exhibit an isomorphism. As…

Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $k$-algebra. We prove that every bounded complex $V^\bullet$ of finitely generated $\Lambda$-modules has a well-defined versal deformation ring $R(\Lambda,V^\bullet)$ which is a…

The combinatorial refinement techniques have proven to be an efficient approach to isomorphism testing for particular classes of graphs. If the number of refinement rounds is small, this puts the corresponding isomorphism problem in a…

If $K$ is a field with enough roots of unity and $V$ an abelian group, the $K$-algebra $K[V]$ of the group $V$ is split semisimple, so that the canonical morphism $K[V]\to K^{V^\sharp}$, where $V^\sharp$ denotes the dual group of $V$ (which…

We study fundamental groups of projective varieties with normal crossing singularities and of germs of complex singularities. We prove that for every finitely-presented group G there is a complex projective surface S with simple normal…

We study arithmetic properties of factorizations of elements into products of generators, in monoids given with explicit presentations. After relating and comparing this perspective to the more usual approach of factoring into products of…

We observe that for each $n\ge 2$, the identities of the stylic monoid with $n$ generators coincide with the identities of $n$-generated monoids from other distinguished series of $\mathscr{J}$-trivial monoids studied in the literature,…

In this paper we study rational surface singularities R with star shaped dual graphs, and under very mild assumptions on the self-intersection numbers we give an explicit description of all their special Cohen-Macaulay modules. We do this…
