Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, and denote by $\operatorname{mod} R$ the category of finitely generated $R$-modules. In this paper, for an ideal $I$ of $R$, we introduce the full subcategory $\operatorname{mod}_{I}(R)$ of…
We describe the modules in the Ziegler closure of ray and coray tubes in module categories over finite-dimensional algebras. We improve slightly on Krause's result for stable tubes by showing that the inverse limit along a coray in a ray or…
Given a connected 2-complex X with fundamental group G, we show how pi_3(X) may be computed as a module over Z[G]. Further we show that if X is a finite connected 2-complex with G (the fundamental group) finite of odd order, then the stable…
Mostow's Decomposition Theorem is a refinement of the polar decomposition. It states the following. Let G be a compact connected semi-simple Lie group with Lie algebra g. Given a subspace h of g such that [X, [X, Y]] belongs to h for all X…
In a previous article by the author and P. Wesolek, it was shown that a compactly generated locally compact group $G$ admits a finite normal series $(G_i)$ in which the factors are compact, discrete or irreducible in the sense that no…
The stable category of modules over the algebra of a finite group with coefficients in a field is a compactly generated tensor triangulated category, that has been studied extensively in representation theory. In this paper, we provide a…
Fix a module M over a local ring R and a group action G on M, not necessarily R-linear. To understand how large is the G-orbit of an element z\in M one looks for the large submodules of M lying in Gz. We provide the corresponding…
The classifying space BG of a topological group $G$ can be filtered by a sequence of subspaces $B(q,G)$, using the descending central series of free groups. If $G$ is finite, describing them as homotopy colimits is convenient when applying…
We construct a well-behaved stable category of modules for a large class of infinite groups. We then consider its Picard group, which is the group of invertible (or endotrivial) modules. We show how this group can be calculated when the…
We consider matrices with entries in a local ring, Mat(m,n,R). Fix a group action, G on Mat(m,n,R), and a subset of allowed deformations, \Sigma\subseteq Mat(m,n,R). The standard question of Singularity Theory is the…
Suppose that W is a finite, unitary, reflection group acting on the complex vector space V and X is a subspace of V. Define N to be the setwise stabilizer of X in W, Z to be the pointwise stabilizer, and C=N/Z. Then restriction defines a…
A new general decomposition theory inspired from modular graph decomposition is presented. This helps unifying modular decomposition on different structures, including (but not restricted to) graphs. Moreover, even in the case of graphs,…
Here we show that, given a finite homological system $({\cal P},\leq,\{\Delta_u\}_{u\in {\cal P}})$ for a finite-dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ over an algebraically closed field, the category ${\cal F}(\Delta)$ of $\Delta$-filtered modules…
Dwyer, Miller and Wilkerson proved that at the prime 2, the classifying spaces of SU(2) and SO(3) can be obtained as a homotopy pushout of the classifying spaces of certain subgroups. In this paper we show explicitly how these…
If G is a finite group and p is a prime number, we investigate the relationship between the p-modular decomposition numbers of characters of height zero in the principal p-block of G and the p-local structure of G.
We solve a long standing open problem concerning the structure of finite cycles in the category mod A of finitely generated modules over an arbitrary artin algebra A, that is, the chains of homomorphisms $M_0 \stackrel{f_1}{\rightarrow} M_1…
We prove that the category $\textbf{G-Cat}$ of small categories with $G$-action forms a model of unstable $G$-global homotopy theory for every discrete group $G$, generalizing Schwede's global model structure on $\textbf{Cat}$. As a…
In equivariant topology, Greenlees and May used Mackey functors to show that, rationally, the stable homotopy category of $G$-spectra over a finite group $G$ splits as a product of simpler module categories. We extend the algebraic part…
We explain a correct proof of the decomposition theorem for direct images of constant Hodge modules by proper K\"ahler morphisms of complex manifolds. We also give some examples showing certain difficulty in the non-constant Hodge module…
This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…
