For any finite dimensional basic associative algebra, we study the presentation spaces and their relation with the representation spaces. We prove two propositions about a general presentation, one on its subrepresentations and the other on…

We introduce a general notion of covering property, of which many classical definitions are particular instances. Notions of closure under various sorts of convergence, or, more generally, under taking kinds of accumulation points, are…

Homology theories for associative algebraic structures are well established and have been studied for a long time. More recently, homology theories for self-distributive algebraic structures motivated by knot theory, such as quandles and…

A generalised Legendrian rack is a rack equipped with a Legendrian structure, which is a pair of maps encoding the information of Legendrian Reidemeister moves together with up and down cusps in the front diagram of an oriented Legendrian…

We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…

In this paper we study some algebraic properties of the rack structure as well as the representation theory of it, following the ideas given by M. Elhamdadi and E. M. Moutuou in \cite{Elhamdadi}. We establish a correspondence between the…

We introduce a notion of ternary distributive algebraic structure, give examples, and relate it to the notion of a quandle. Classification is given for low order structures of this type. Constructions of such structures from ternary…

We prove general results about completeness of cotorsion theories and existence of covers and envelopes in locally presentable abelian categories, extending the well-established theory for module categories and Grothendieck categories.…

Quandle representations are homomorphisms from a quandle to the group of invertible matrices on some vector space taken with the conjugation operation. We study certain families of quandle representations. More specifically, we introduce…

A quandle is a self-distributive algebraic structure that appears in quasi-group and knot theories. For each abelian group A and c \in A we define a quandle G(A, c) on \Z_3 \times A. These quandles are generalizations of a class of…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the notions of $f$-rack and $f$-quandle which are obtained by twisting the usual equational identities by a map. We provide some key constructions, examples and classification of low order…

A notion known as smooth envelope, or superposition closure, appears naturally in several approaches to generalized smooth manifolds which were proposed in the last decades. Such an operation is indispensable in order to perform…

The theory of algebraic extensions of Banach algebras is well established, and there are many constructions which yield interesting extensions. In particular, Cole's method for extending uniform algebras by adding square roots of functions…
