We classify invertible 2-dimensional framed and $r$-spin topological field theories by computing the homotopy groups and the $k$-invariant of the corresponding bordism categories. The zeroth homotopy group of a bordism category is the usual…

G. Walker and R. Wood proved that in degree $2^n-1-n$, the space of indecomposable elements of $\Bbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, considered as a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, is isomorphic to the Steinberg representation of $GL_n(\Bbb…

A detailed numerical stability analysis of the static, spherically symmetric globally regular solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with a positive cosmological constant, Lambda, is carried out. It is found that the number of…

We provide a new algebraic description of the structure on the set of all unstable cohomology operations for a suitable generalised cohomology theory, E^*. Our description is as a graded and completed version of a Tall-Wraith monoid. The…

Let $\lambda$ be a partition of an integer $n$ and ${\mathbb F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. Let $P_\lambda(q)$ be the number of strictly upper triangular $n\times n$ matrices of the Jordan type $\lambda$. It is known that the…

We prove a new kind of homological stability theorem for automorphism groups of finitely-generated projective modules over Dedekind domains, which takes into account all possible stabilisation maps between these, rather than only…

Let A be a commutative ring, B a commutative A-algebra and M a complex of B-modules. We begin by constructing the square Sq_{B/A} M, which is also a complex of B-modules. The squaring operation is a quadratic functor, and its construction…

This survey is mostly concerned with unstable analogues of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen Conjecture. The Lichtenbaum-Quillen Conjecture (now implied by the Voevodsky-Rost Theorem) attempts to describe the algebraic K-theory of rings of integers…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field, let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-algebra, and let $\widehat{\Lambda}$ be the repetitive algebra of $\Lambda$. For the stable category of finitely generated left…

Deformation K-theory associates to each discrete group G a spectrum built from spaces of finite dimensional unitary representations of G. In all known examples, this spectrum is 2-periodic above the rational cohomological dimension of G…

In this paper we construct a class of new irreducible modules over untwisted affine Kac-Moody algebras $\widetilde{\mathfrak{g}}$, generalizing and including both highest weight modules and Whittaker modules. These modules allow us to…

This paper deals with a certain class of second-order conformally invariant operators acting on functions taking values in particular (finite-dimensional) irreducible representations of the orthogonal group. These operators can be seen as a…

Given an associative, not necessarily commutative, ring R with identity, a formal matrix calculus is introduced and developed for pairs of matrices over R. This calculus subsumes the theory of homogeneous systems of linear equations with…

We prove a unified trace-average formula for the $k$-th higher trace $\lambda_k(A)=\operatorname{tr}(\Lambda^k A)$ of a linear operator $A$ on a finite-dimensional normed space. The formula averages the matrix coefficient…

In this paper we study the topology of the strata, indexed by number partitions $\lambda$, in the natural stratification of the space of monic hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$. We prove stabilization theorems for removing an independent…

Many first-order equational theories, such as the theory of groups or boolean algebras, can be presented by a smaller set of axioms than the original one. Recent studies showed that a homological approach to equational theories gives us…

When studying deformations of an $A$-module $M$, Laudal and Yau showed that one can consider 1-cocycles in the Hochschild cohomology of $A$ with coefficients in the bi-module $End_k(M).$ With this in mind, the use of higher order Hochschild…

Twisted commutative algebras (tca's) have played an important role in the nascent field of representation stability. Let A_d be the complex tca freely generated by d indeterminates of degree 1. In a previous paper, we determined the…

For the algebra $A$ in the title, its prime, primitive and maximal spectra are classified. The group of automorphisms of $A$ is determined. The simple unfaithful $A$-modules and the simple weight $A$-modules are classified.

We discuss two extensions of results conjectured by Nick Kuhn about the non-realization of unstable algebras as the mod $p$ singular cohomology of a space, for $p$ a prime. The first extends and refines earlier work of the second and fourth…
