For every prime p we give infinitely many examples of torsors under abelian varieties over Q that are locally trivial but not divisible by p in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group. We also give an example of a locally trivial torsor under an elliptic…

We construct unramified central simple algebras representing 2-torsion classes in the Brauer group of a hyperelliptic curve, and show that every 2-torsion class can be constructed this way when the curve has a rational Weierstrass point or…

We restrict geometric tangential equivariant complex $T^n$-bordism to torus manifolds and provide a complete combinatorial description of the appropriate non-commutative ring. We discover, using equivariant $K$-theory characteristic…

We show that for many classical knots one can find generalized torsion in the fundamental group of its complement, commonly called the knot group. It follows that such a group is not bi-orderable. Examples include all torus knots, the…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

The Hirzebruch $td_y(X)$ class of a complex manifold X is a formal combination of Chern characters of the sheaves of differential forms multiplied by the Todd class. The related $\chi_y$-genus admits a generalization for singular complex…

We provide an alternative proof that the Chow group of $1$-cycles on a Severi--Brauer variety associated to a biquaternion division algebra is torsion-free. There are three proofs of this result in the literature, all of which are due to…

The classification of structurable tori with nontrivial involution, which was begun by Allison and Yoshii, is completed. New examples of structurable tori are obtained using a construction of structurable algebras from a semilinear version…

We prove that the group of normalized cohomological invariants of degree 3 modulo the subgroup of semidecomposable invariants of a semisimple split linear algebraic group G is isomorphic to the torsion part of the Chow group of codimension…

We give explicit and elementary constructions of the categorical extensions of a torus by the circle and discuss an application to loop group extensions. Examples include maximal tori of simple and simply connected compact Lie groups and…

In this paper we present an unexpected connection between the theory of asymptotic prime divisors and Chow groups. As an application we show that the Chow group $A_1(R)$ is a torsion group when $R$ is any graded ring such that we have an…

New features of systems with non-trivial topology such as fractional quantum numbers, inequivalent quantizations, good operators, topological anomalies, etc. are described in the framework of an algebraic quantization procedure on a group.…

We study the ring of characteristic classes with values in the Chow ring for principal $G$-bundles over schemes. If we consider bundles which are locally trivial in the Zariski topology, then we show, for $G$ reductive, that this ring is…

For each prime $p$, we show that there exist geometrically simple abelian varieties $A/\mathbb Q$ with non-trivial $p$-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups. Specifically, for any prime $N\equiv 1 \pmod{p}$, let $A_f$ be an optimal…

We show that certain isomorphisms of (twisted) KR-groups that underlie T-dualities of torus orientifold string theories have purely algebraic analogues in terms of algebraic K-theory of real varieties and equivalences of derived categories…

In this paper, we generalize a result of Karpenko on the torsion in the second quotient of the gamma filtration for Severi-Brauer varieties to higher degrees. As an application, we provide a nontrivial torsion in higher Chow groups and the…

Let $\ell$ be an odd prime. We study the visibility theorem for certain elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with additive reduction at $\ell$, and deduce the existence of nontrivial $\ell$-torsion in $\Sha(E^D/\mathbb{Q})$ for suitable…

Let k be a field, let G be a finite group and let T be a split k-torus on which G acts multiplicatively, and for every m greater than 1 denote by T[m] the m-torsion subgroup of T. Under a suitable assumption on m, we show that the motivic…

We show that a group whose generalized torsion elements are torsion elements (which we call a $TR^{*}$-group) is torsion-by-$R^{*}$ group, an extension of torsion group by a group without generalized torsion elements. We also discuss a…

Are introduced six examples of non-braidable tensor categories which are extensions of the category Comod(H), for H a super-group algebra; and two examples of braided categories where the only possible braiding is the trivial braiding.
