We introduce the class of sober rings and investigate it through several key results, highlighting connections to some other known classes of rings. We analyze sufficient conditions for a ring to be sober, as well as necessary conditions.…
The aim of this work is the study of symplectic structures on 2-step nilmanifolds. We concentrate in the closeness condition, proving that the existence of a closed 2-form of type II is necessary to get a symplectic structure. In low…
We show that the extension types occurring in Riehl--Shulman's work on synthetic $(\infty,1)$-categories can be interpreted in the intended semantics in a way so that they are strictly stable under substitution. The splitting method used…
We study the relationship between the tight closure of an ideal and the sum of all ideals in its linkage class.
Let R be a real closed field. The Pierce-Birkhoff conjecture says that any piecewise polynomial function f on R^n can be obtained from the polynomial ring R[x_1,...,x_n] by iterating the operations of maximum and minimum. The purpose of…
One of the main open questions in liaison theory is whether every homogeneous Cohen-Macaulay ideal in a polynomial ring is glicci, i.e. if it is in the G-liaison class of a complete intersection. We give an affirmative answer to this…
Let $R$ be a ring and let $A$ be a finite projective $R$-algebra of rank $n$. Manjul Bhargava and Matthew Satriano have recently constructed an $R$-algebra $G(A/R)$, the Galois closure of $A/R$. Many natural questions were asked at the end…
Given a first-order theory $T$ formulated in the usual language of first-order arithmetic, we say that $T$ is of *restricted complexity* if there is some natural number $n$ and some set $\mathcal A$ of $\Sigma_n$-sentences such that $T$ can…
To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…
A ring $R$ is uniquely (strongly) clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists a unique idempotent $e\in R \big(\in comm(a)\big)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. Let $R$ be a uniquely bleached ring. We prove, in this note, that $R$ is…
We define a ring R of geometric objects G generated by finite abstract simplicial complexes. To every G belongs Hodge Laplacian H as the square of the Dirac operator determining its cohomology and a unimodular connection matrix L). The sum…
We prove that the Frobenius algebra of the injective hull of a complete Stanley-Reisner ring as well as its Matlis dual notion of Cartier algebra can be only principally generated or infinitely generated. As a consequence we are able to…
We show that a strong form (the fully faithful version) of the generating hypothesis, introduced by Freyd in algebraic topology, holds in the derived category of a ring R if and only if R is von Neumann regular. This extends results of the…
We introduce various probablistic finiteness conditions for profinite groups related to positive finite generation (PFG). We investigate completed group rings which are PFG as modules, and use this to answer a question of Kionke and the…
The Jacobson-Bourbaki Theorem for division rings was formulated in terms of corings by Sweedler in 1975. Finiteness conditions hypotheses are not required in this new approach. In this paper we extend Sweedler's result to simple artinian…
We show that the canonical contact structure on the link of a normal complex singularity is universally tight. As a corollary we show the existence of closed, oriented, atoroidal 3-manifolds with infinite fundamental groups which carry…
We consider the interval $]{-1},1[$ and intend to endow it with an algebraic structure like a ring. The motivation lies in decision making, where scales that are symmetric w.r.t. 0 are needed in order to represent a kind of symmetry in the…
Hirose, Watanabe and Yoshida conjectured a criterion for a standard graded strongly $F$-regular ring to be Gorenstein in terms of the $F$-pure threshold. We complete the proof of this conjecture. We also prove natural extensions of the…
We fill in the details in a procedure outlined by Serre for drawing pictures of compact real Lie groups. In the case of Sp($2n$), the picture generated by the method is connected with abelian varieties over a number field or a finite field.…
We study weak versus strong symplectic fillability of some tight contact structures on torus bundles over the circle. In particular, we prove that almost all of these tight contact structures are weakly, but not strongly symplectically…
