In [14] Hemmer conjectures that the module of fixed points for the symmetric group $\Sigma_m$ of a Specht module for $\Sigma_n$ (with $n>m$), over a field of positive characteristic $p$, has a Specht series, when viewed as a…
Consider the ring $\mathcal{S}$ of symmetric polynomials in $k$ variables over an arbitrary base ring $\mathbf{k}$. Fix $k$ scalars $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\in\mathbf{k}$. Let $I$ be the ideal of $\mathcal{S}$ generated by…
In this thesis we consider two constructions generalizing the classical Arf invariant. In the first construction an $\epsilon$-symmetric quadratic form over a ring with involution $R$ is lifted to an $\epsilon(1+T)$-symmetric quadratic form…
In the present paper, dedicated to Yuri Manin, we investigate the general notion of rings of $\mathbb S[\mu_{n,+}]$-polynomials and relate this concept to the known notion of number systems. The Riemann-Roch theorem for the ring $\mathbb Z$…
For a partition $\lambda$ of $n$, the _Specht ideal_ $I_\lambda \subset K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ is the ideal generated by all Specht polynomials of shape $\lambda$. In their unpublished manuscript, Haiman and Woo showed that $I_\lambda$ is a…
We introduce a family of ideals $I_{n,\lambda,s}$ in $\mathbb{Q}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ for $\lambda$ a partition of $k\leq n$ and an integer $s \geq \ell(\lambda)$. This family contains both the Tanisaki ideals $I_\lambda$ and the ideals…
This paper generalizes a result of Lynn on the "degree" of an equivariant cohomology ring $H^*_G(X)$. The degree of a graded module is a certain coefficient of its Poincar\'{e} series, and is closely related to multiplicity. In the present…
Working in a polynomial ring $S=\mathbf{k}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ where $\mathbf{k}$ is an arbitrary commutative ring with $1$, we consider the $d^{th}$ Veronese subalgebras $R=S^{(d)}$, as well as natural $R$-submodules $M=S^{(\geq r, d)}$…
M. Neunh{\"o}ffer studies in \cite{Ne} a certain basis of $\mathbb{C}[S_n]$ with the origins in \cite{Lu} and shows that this basis is in fact Wedderburn's basis. In particular, in this basis the right regular representation of $S_n$…
We show that by working over the absolute base $\mathbb S$ (the categorical version of the sphere spectrum) instead of $\mathbb S[\pm 1]$ improves our previous Riemann-Roch formula for $\overline{{\rm Spec\,}\mathbb Z}$. The formula equates…
For a simplicial complex X on {1,2, ..., n} we define enriched homology and cohomology modules. They are graded modules over k[x_1, ..., x_n] whose ranks are equal to the dimensions of the reduced homology and cohomology groups. We…
We define higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a mathematical theory of sigma model coupled with gravity over any semi-positive symplectic manifolds. As applications, we verify the stablizing conjecture of symplectic…
Let $R$ be a semiartinian (von Neumann) regular ring with primitive factors artinian. The dimension sequence $\mathcal D _R$ is an invariant that captures the various skew-fields and dimensions occurring in the layers of the socle sequence…
We obtain alternative explicit Specht filtrations for the induced and the restricted Specht modules in the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group (defined over the ring $A=\mathbb Z[q^{1/2},q^{-1/2}]$ where $q$ is an indeterminate) using…
Boij-S\"oderberg theory gives a combinatorial description of the set of Betti tables belonging to finite length modules over the polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. We posit that a similar combinatorial description can be given for…
We show the surjectivity of a specialisation map on higher $(0,1)$-cycles for a smooth projective scheme over an excellent henselian discrete valuation ring. This gives evidence for a conjecture stated in an article of Kerz, Esnault and…
The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…
For any ring $R$, we introduce an invariant in the form of a partially ordered abelian semigroup $\mathrm{S}(R)$ built from an equivalence relation on the class of countably generated projective modules. We call $\mathrm{S}(R)$ the Cuntz…
For $ k \in \mathbb{N}$ we introduce an idempotent subalgebra, the spherical partition algebra ${\mathcal{SP} }_{k}$, of the partition algebra ${\mathcal{P} }_{k}$, that we define using an embedding associated with the trivial…
The classical Hilbert specialization property is a field-theoretic tool ensuring that polynomial irreducibility over a field is preserved under specialization of some of the variables. We develop an integral counterpart by introducing the…
