We prove that any open subset $U$ of a semi-simple simply connected quasi-split linear algebraic group $G$ with ${codim} (G\setminus U, G)\geq 2$ over a number field satisfies strong approximation by establishing a fibration of $G$ over a…

Let Y be a real Enriques surface, _2Br(Y) the subgroup of elements of order 2 of Br(Y), and s, s_{or}, and s_{nor} the number of all connected, connected orientable, and connected non-orientable components of Y(R) respectively. Using…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring and $K$ be its field of fraction. We show that the canonical map $\Br(V) \to \Br(K)$ is injective.

We prove a version of the Erd\H{o}s--Beck Theorem from discrete geometry for fractal sets in all dimensions. More precisely, let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Borel and $k \in [0, n-1]$ be an integer. Let $\dim (X \setminus H) = \dim X$ for every…

We consider the Brauer group ${\rm BM}'(k,G)$ of a group $G$ (finite or infinite) over a commutative ring $k$ with identity. A split exact sequence $$1\longrightarrow {\rm Br}'(k)\longrightarrow {\rm BM}'(k,G)\longrightarrow {\rm Gal}(k,G)…

We show that certain right-angled Coxeter groups have finite index subgroups that quotient to $\mathbb Z$ with finitely generated kernels. The proof uses Bestvina-Brady Morse theory facilitated by combinatorial arguments. We describe a…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus at least two. Let $N$ be a connected component of the moduli space of semistable principal ${\rm PGL}_r({\mathbb C})$- bundles over $X$; it is a normal unirational complex…

Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective connected curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and $B \subset X$ is a finite, possibly empty, set of points. Booher and Cais determined a lower bound for the $a$-number…

We study the question of whether the Brauer group is isomorphic to the cohomological one in spectral algebraic geometry. For this, we prove the compact generation of the derived category of twisted sheaves for quasi-compact spectral…

We consider a finite group acting on a vector space and the corresponding skew group algebra generated by the group and the symmetric algebra of the space. This skew group algebra illuminates the resulting orbifold and serves as a…

By providing equivalent definitions of fractional Brauer configuration algebras in certain special cases, we associate to each monomial algebra some combinatorial data called a fractional Brauer configuration, from which we construct a…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group $G$. Let $p$ be an odd prime and $r>1$ be an integer. Assuming a conjecture of Schneider, we formulate a conjecture that relates special values of equivariant Artin…

Given a non-trivial Borel measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\mathbb T$, the corresponding reproducing (or Christoffel-Darboux) kernels with one of the variables fixed at $z=1$ constitute a family of so-called para-orthogonal polynomials,…

In this article we calculate two aspects of the representation theory of a Brauer configuration algebra: its Cartan matrix, and the module length of its associated indecomposable projective modules. Then we introduce the concept of…

Let k be a field, G a smooth connected linear algebraic group and X a homogeneous space of G over k, such that the geometric stabilizers are extensions of a smooth group of multiplicative type by a smooth connected characterfree group. If k…

Let a be a nonzero integer. If a is not congruent to 4 or 5 modulo 9 then there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of integers x, y, z such that x^3+y^3+z^3=a. In addition, there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence…

In a directed graph, a kernel is a subset of vertices that is both stable and absorbing. Not all digraphs have a kernel, but a theorem due to Boros and Gurvich guarantees the existence of a kernel in every clique-acyclic orientation of a…

We determine the decomposition numbers for the Brauer and walled Brauer algebra in characteristic zero in terms of certain polynomials associated to cap and curl diagrams (recovering a result of Martin in the Brauer case). We consider a…

We present a preliminary determination of the inclusive branching fraction for the rare radiative penguin transition B -> X_{s} gamma. The measurement is based on a data sample of 60 million BB pairs collected between 1999 and 2001 with the…

The adjoint of a matrix in the Lie algebra associated with a matrix algebra is a fundamental operator, which can be generalized to a more general operator $\varphi_{AB}: X\rightarrow AX-XB$ by two matrices $A$ and $B$. The kernel of the…
