We focus on two central themes in this dissertation. The first one is on decomposing polytopes and polynomials in ways that allow us to perform nonlinear optimization. We start off by explaining important results on decomposing a polytope…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. In this paper, we study specialization-closed subsets of Spec R. More precisely, we first characterize the specialization-closed subsets in terms of various closure properties of subcategories of…

A polynomial is a direct sum if it can be written as a sum of two non-zero polynomials in some distinct sets of variables, up to a linear change of variables. We analyze criteria for a homogeneous polynomial to be decomposable as a direct…

A non-unital algebra in a closed monoidal category is called self-induced if the multiplication induces an isomorphism between A\otimes_A A and A. For such an algebra, we define smoothening and roughening functors that retract the category…

We consider families of exponential sums indexed by a subgroup of invertible classes modulo some prime power $q$. For fixed $d$, we restrict to moduli $q$ so that there is a unique subgroup of invertible classes modulo $q$ of order $d$. We…

The stable module category of a selfinjective algebra is triangulated, but need not have any nontrivial $t$-structures, and in particular, full abelian subcategories need not arise as hearts of a $t$-structure. The purpose of this paper is…

Here the polynomial interpolation approach is used to introduce the main results on multivariate normal algebraic systems. Next we bring a construction which shows that any standard algebraic system, with finite set of solutions, can be…

We propose a method to decompose dynamical systems based on the idea that modules constrain the spread of perturbations. We find partitions of system variables that maximize 'perturbation modularity', defined as the autocovariance of…

We obtain a complete classification of all finite-dimensional irreducible modules over classical map superalgebras, provide formulas for their (super)characters and a description of their extension groups. Furthermore, we describe the block…

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…

In this work, we extend Saia's results on the characterization of Newton non-degenerate ideals to the context of ideals in $O_{X(S)}$, where $X(S)$ is an affine toric variety defined by the semigroup $S\subset \mathbb{Z}^{n}_{+}$. We…

We develop further the theory of operads and analytic functors. In particular, we introduce a bicategory that has operads as 0-cells, operad bimodules as 1-cells and operad bimodule maps as 2-cells, and prove that this bicategory is…

Let $B$ be the one-point extension algebra of $A$ by an $A$-module $M$. We proved that every ICE-closed subcategory in$\mod A$ can be extended to be some ICE-closed subcategories in$\mod B$.In the same way, every epibrick in $\mod A$ can be…

Support $\tau$-tilting modules correspond to some classes of categorical objects bijectively, such as two-term tilting complexes for any finite dimensional symmetric algebra. This fact motivates us to classify support $\tau$-tilting modules…

Any finite set of linear operators on an algebra $A$ yields an operator algebra $B$ and a module structure on A, whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to a subring $A^B$ of certain invariant elements of $A$. We show that if $A$ is a…

Motivated by ideas from stable homotopy theory we study the space of strongly homotopy associative multiplications on a two-cell chain complex. In the simplest case this moduli space is isomorphic to the set of orbits of a group of…

We enrich the setting of strongly stable ideals (SSI): We introduce shift modules, a module category encompassing SSI's. The recently introduced duality on SSI's is given an effective conceptual and computational setting. We study strongly…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a $G$-graded simple module over a unital associative algebra, graded by an abelian group $G$, to be isomorphic to a loop module of a simple module, as well as for two such loop modules to be…

Previously, the last two authors found large families of decomposable Specht modules labelled by bihooks, over the Iwahori--Hecke algebra of type $B$. In most cases we conjectured that these were the only decomposable Specht modules…

In this paper we study the category of graded modules for the current algebra associated to $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. The category enjoys many nice properties, including a tilting theory which was established in previous work of the authors. We…
