A set $G \subseteq \omega$ is $n$-generic for a positive integer $n$ if and only if every $\Sigma^0_n$ formula of $G$ is decided by a finite initial segment of $G$ in the sense of Cohen forcing. It is shown here that every $n$-generic set…
Suppose $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and a fixed invertible element $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ such that $q+q^{-1}$ is invertible. For an oriented surface $\Sigma$, let $\mathcal{S}(\Sigma;R)$ denote the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of…
In [9] Bogdan Nica presented an elementary proof of a result which says that the relative elementary linear group with respect to a square of an ideal of the ring is a subset of the true relative elementary linear group. The original result…
In our previous joint papers with Roozbeh Hazrat and Alexei Stepanov we established commutator formulas for relative elementary subgroups in $GL(n,R)$, $n\ge 3$, and other similar groups, such as Bak's unitary groups, or Chevalley groups.…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with unity $1$ and consider $k\in \mathbb{N}$ such that $1+1+..+1=k$ is invertible. Denote by $\omega$ an arbitrary kth root of unity in $R$ and let $UT^{(k)}_{\infty}(R)$ be the group of upper triangular…
The third homology group of GL_n(R) is studied, where R is a `ring with many units' with center Z(R). The main theorem states that if K_1(Z(R))_Q \simeq K_1(R)_Q, (e.g. R a commutative ring or a central simple algebra), then H_3(GL_2(R), Q)…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module which is generated by $\mu$ elements but not fewer. We denote by $\operatorname{SL}_n(R)$ the group of the $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ with determinant $1$. We…
It this note we investigate the structure of the group of \sigma-unitary units in some noncommutative modular group algebras KG, where \sigma is a non-classical ring involution of KG.
We introduce and study conjugate reversibility (or $c$-reversibility) in the complex special linear group $\SL(n,\C)$ where an element is conjugate to the inverse of its complex conjugate. We prove that in $\SL(n, \C)$, every $c$-reversible…
Given an increasing odd homeomorphism $\sigma$ : R $\rightarrow$ R, the two bijective maps h $\sigma$ , v $\sigma$ : R 2 $\rightarrow$ R 2 dened by h $\sigma$ (x, y) = (x + $\sigma$ --1 (y), y) and v $\sigma$ (x, y) = (x, $\sigma$(x) + y).…
In the present paper we find generators of the mixed commutator subgroups of relative elementary groups and obtain unrelativised versions of commutator formulas in the setting of Bak's unitary groups. It is a direct sequel of our similar…
Twisted generalized Weyl algebras (TGWAs) $A(R,\sigma,t)$ are defined over a base ring $R$ by parameters $\sigma$ and $t$, where $\sigma$ is an $n$-tuple of automorphisms, and $t$ is an $n$-tuple of elements in the center of $R$. We show…
Let $R$ be an associative ring with unity $1$ and consider that $2,k$ and $2k\in \mathbb{N}$ are invertible in $R$. For $m\geq 1$ denote by $UT_n(m,R)$ and $UT_{\infty}(m,R)$, the subgroups of $UT_n(R)$ and $UT_{\infty}(R)$ respectively,…
Let GL(n,q) be the group of nxn invertible matrices over a field with q elements, and SL(n,q) be the group of nxn matrices with determinant 1 over a field with q elements. We prove that the product of any two non-central conjugacy classes…
A recently proposed definition of a linear connection in non-commutative geometry, based on a generalized permutation, is used to construct linear connections on GL_q(n). Restrictions on the generalized permutation arising from the…

In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…
