In this paper, we prove that a block with defect group $\mathbb Z_{2^n}\times \mathbb Z_{2^n}\times \mathbb Z_{2^m}$, where $n\geq 2$ and $m$ is arbitrary, is Morita equivalent to its Brauer correspondent.

We prove that the Picard group of a regular simply connected variety over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic is finitely generated. The main difficulty to overcome is the unavailability of resolution of singularities.…

A conjecture of Berkovich asserts that every non-simple finite p-group has a non-inner automorphism of order p. This conjecture is far from being proved despite the great effort devoted to it. In this paper we prove it for p-groups of…

An irreducible norm closed semigroup of complex matrices is simultaneously similar to a semigroup of partial isometries if and only if (a) the norms of all nonzero members of it are uniformly bounded above and below, and (b) its idempotents…

By definition, admissible matrix groups are those that give rise to a wavelet-type inversion formula. This paper investigates necessary and sufficient admissibility conditions for abelian matrix groups. We start out by deriving a block…

We give a construction that in many cases gives a simple way to construct infinite families of algebras that are not Morita equivalent, but are all derived equivalent to the same block algebra of a finite group, and apply it to some small…

We prove that the number of irreducible real characters in a nilpotent block of a finite group is locally determined. We further conjecture that the Frobenius-Schur indicators of those characters can be computed for p=2 in terms of the…

Results of Perron and Rolfsen imply that untwisted hyperbolic once-punctured torus bundles over the circle have bi-orderable fundamental groups. They do this by showing that the action of the monodromy preserves a "standard" bi-ordering…

An n \times n matrix A has a normal defect of k if there exists an (n+k) \times (n+k) normal matrix A_{ext} with A as a leading principal submatrix and k minimal. In this paper we compute the normal defect of a special class of 4 \times 4…

If every element of a matrix group is similar to a permutation matrix, then it is called a permutation-like matrix group. References [4] and [5] showed that, if a permutation-like matrix group contains a maximal cycle of length equal to a…

We define and study the Picard group of a monoid scheme and the class group of a normal monoid scheme. To do so, we develop some ideal theory for (pointed abelian) noetherian monoids, including primary decomposition and discrete valuations.…

We provide an explicit and elementary construction of the Morita $(\infty,2)$-category of a monoidal category which satisfies minimal conditions. We construct it as a $3$-coskeletal $2$-complicial set, in which the vertices encode the…

We determine the universal deformation ring R(G,V) of certain mod 2 representations V of a finite group G which belong to a 2-modular block of G whose defect groups are isomorphic to a generalized quaternion group D. We show that for these…

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g at least 4. Let M(r,\Lambda) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles over X or rank r and fixed determinant \Lambda, of degree d. We give a new proof of the fact that…

Let A be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field K. The derived Picard group DPic(A) is the group of two-sided tilting complexes over A modulo isomorphism. We prove that DPic(A) is a locally algebraic group, and its…

Presentations of smooth symmetry groups of differentiable stacks are studied within the framework of the weak 2-category of Lie groupoids, smooth principal bibundles, and smooth biequivariant maps. It is shown that principality of bibundles…

We compute the group of Morita auto-equivalences of the even parts of the $ADE$ subfactors, and Galois conjugates. To achieve this we study the braided auto-equivalences of the Drinfeld centres of these categories. We give planar algebra…

A character of a group is said to be super-monomial if every primitive character inducing it is linear. It is conjectured by Isaacs that every irreducible character of an odd $M$-group is super-monomial. We show that all non linear…

In this note, we give a new proof by module-theoretic methods for a result of Puig asserting that blocks which are stable equivalent of Morita type to nilpotent blocks are also nilpotent.

We present results and examples which show that the consideration of a certain tubular mutation is advantageous in the study of noncommutative curves which parametrize the simple regular representations of a tame bimodule. We classify all…
