A lifting of a semilattice S is an algebra A such that the semilattice of compact (=finitely generated) congruences of A is isomorphic to S. The aim of this work is to give a categorical theory of partial algebras endowed with a partial…

We show how to build models of Synthetic Algebraic Geometry over rings k such that finitely presented k-algebra have a decidable equality. The construction is done in a constructive and weak (same proof theoretic strength as dependent type…

We show how to construct an N=1 superconformal vertex algebra (SCVA) from any Riemannian manifold. When the Riemannian manifold has special holonomy groups, we discuss the extended supersymmetry. When the manifold is complex or K\"{a}hler,…

We introduce the semiring of values $\Gamma$ with respect to the tropical operations associated to an algebroid curve. As a set, $\Gamma$ determines and is determined by the well known semigroup of values $S$ and we prove that $\Gamma$ is…

We derive explicit formulas for lambda-brackets of the affine classical W-algebras attached to the minimal and short nilpotent elements of any simple Lie algebra g. This is used to compute explicitly the first non-trivial PDE of the…

We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…

We first exhibit in the commutative case the simple algebraic relations between the algebra of functions on a manifold and its infinitesimal length element $ds$. Its unitary representations correspond to Riemannian metrics and Spin…

A combinatorial formula for Pfaffian for the universal enveloping algebra of the affine Kac - Moody algebra of even orthogonal Lie algebra is proved. It allows easily to compute the image of this Segal-Sugawara vector under the…

We consider the compactification M(atrix) theory on a Riemann surface Sigma of genus g>1. A natural generalization of the case of the torus leads to construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(\Sigma), realized on the Hilbert…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring and $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra. In this paper we introduce the notion of enveloping algebra of Hasse--Schmidt derivations of $A$ over $k$ and we prove that, under suitable smoothness hypotheses, the…

We give a short survey on several developments on the BC-system, the adele class space of the rationals, and on the understanding of the "zeta sector" of the latter space as the Scaling Site. The new result that we present concerns the…

We are interested in the McKay quiver $\Gamma(G)$ and skew group rings $A*G$, where $G$ is a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(V)$, where $V$ is a finite dimensional vector space over a field $K$, and $A$ is a $K-G$-algebra. These skew group…

The reticulation of an algebra $A$ is a bounded distributive lattice ${\cal L}(A)$ whose prime spectrum of filters or ideals is homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of congruences of $A$, endowed with the Stone topologies. We have obtained a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and acting on a $s$-pointed projective curve $(\Sigma, \vec{p}=\{p_1, \dots, p_s\})$ faithfully (for $s\geq 1$). Also, let an integrable highest weight module…

Let $\sigma$ denote an endomorphism of a smooth algebraic group $G$ over the algebraic closure of a finite field, and assume all iterates of $\sigma$ have finitely many fixed points. Steinberg gave a formula for the number of fixed points…

We investigate the standard graded $k$-algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero for which general linear forms are exact zero divisors. We formulate a conjecture regarding the Hilbert function of such rings. We prove our conjecture…
