We consider semigroup algorithmic problems in the Special Affine group $\mathsf{SA}(2, \mathbb{Z}) = \mathbb{Z}^2 \rtimes \mathsf{SL}(2, \mathbb{Z})$, which is the group of affine transformations of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ that preserve…

Balanced pairs appear naturally in the realm of Relative Homological Algebra associated to the balance of right derived functors of the $\mathsf{Hom}$ functor. A natural source to get such pairs is by means of cotorsion triplets. In this…

In groups, an abelian normal subgroup induces an abelian congruence. We construct a class of centrally nilpotent Moufang loops containing an abelian normal subloop that does not induce an abelian congruence. On the other hand, we prove that…

We consider the {\em Deligne-Simpson problem}: {\em Give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ or $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$, $j=1,..., p+1$, so that there exist irreducible…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on…

In 1964, Paul Erd\H{o}s published a paper settling a question about function spaces that he had seen in a problem book. Erd\H{o}s proved that the answer was yes if and only if the continuum hypothesis was false: an innocent-looking question…

In a semigroup $S$ with fixed $c\in S$, one can construct a new semigroup $(S,\cdot_c)$ called a \emph{variant} by defining $x\cdot_c y:=xcy$. Elements $a,b\in S$ are \emph{primarily conjugate} if there exist $x,y\in S^1$ such that $a=xy,…

A group is surjunctive if every injective cellular automaton on it is also surjective. Gottschalk famously conjectured that all groups are surjunctive. This remains a central open problem in symbolic dynamics and descriptive set theory.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We attach appropriate signed Selmer groups to an elliptic curve $E$, where $E$ is assumed to have semistable reduction at all primes above $p$. We then compare the Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariants of these signed Selmer…

The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved by Dikranjan, Goldsmith, Salce and Zanardo. It was later extended by Shlossberg to torsion nilpotent groups of class 2. As our main…

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be an abelian category with enough projective objects and enough injective objects and let $\mathcal{A}=\mathcal{B}\ltimes_\eta\mathsf{F}$ be an $\eta$-extension of $\mathcal{B}$. Given a cotorsion pair…

Fourth-order accurate compact schemes for variable coefficient convection diffusion equations are considered. A sufficient condition for the stability of the fully discrete problem is derived using a difference equation based approach. The…

We prove a motivic refinement of a result of Weil, Deligne and Raynaud on the existence of strongly compatible systems associated to abelian varieties. More precisely, given an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $\mathrm{E}\subset…

We prove that in a continuous $\aleph_0$-stable theory every type-definable group is definable. The two main ingredients in the proof are: \begin{enumerate} \item Results concerning Morley ranks (i.e., Cantor-Bendixson ranks) from…

Denote by Id$_c G$ the lattice of all principal $\ell$-ideals of an Abelian $\ell$-group $G$. Our main result is the following. Theorem. For every countable Abelian $\ell$-group $G$, every countable completely normal distributive 0-lattice…

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring. Call a functor <<commutative A-algebras>> --> <<sets>> coherent if it can be built up (via iterated finite limits) from functors of the form B \mapsto M tensor_A B, where M is a f.g. A-module. When…

We prove that every {finitely generated residually finite}-by-sofic group satisfies Kaplansky's direct and stable finiteness conjectures with respect to all noetherian rings. We use this result to provide countably many new examples of…

Let R be a subring of the rationals. We want to investigate self splitting R-modules G that is Ext_R(G,G)=0 holds and follow Schultz to call such modules splitters. Free modules and torsion-free cotorsion modules are classical examples for…

Let $A$ be a multiset with elements in an abelian group. Let $FS(A)$ be the multiset containing the $2^{|A|}$ sums of all subsets of $A$. We study the reconstruction problem ``Given $FS(A)$, is it possible to identify $A$?'', and we give a…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Frobenius category and $\omega$ the full subcategory consisting of projective objects. The relations between special precovering (resp., precovering) ideals in $\mathcal{A}$ and special precovering (resp.,…
