We study Zariski cancellation problem for noncommutative algebras that are not necessarily domains.
A noncommutative analogue of the Zariski cancellation problem asks whether $A[x]\cong B[x]$ implies $A\cong B$ when $A$ and $B$ are noncommutative algebras. We resolve this affirmatively in the case when $A$ is a noncommutative finitely…
We study a noncommutative version of the Zariski cancellation problem for some classes of connected graded Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension three.
We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras…
The Cancellation Problem for Affine Spaces is settled affirmatively, that is, it is proved that : Let $ k $ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $n, m \in \mathbb{N}$. If $R[Y_1,..., Y_m] \cong_k k[X_1,...,…
We discuss different generalizations of Zariski decomposition, relations between them and connections with finite generation of divisorial algebras.
The Zariski cancellation problem plays a central role in affine algebraic geometry and noncommutative algebra, with locally nilpotent derivations providing a fundamental invariant-theoretic approach. This article presents a unified survey…
In this paper, over a field of positive characteristic we exhibit an infinite family of counter examples to the Zariski Cancellation Problem in higher dimensions ($\geqslant 3$) which are pairwise non-isomorphic and also non-isomorphic to…
In this paper we shall show that when k is a field of positive characteristic the affine space A^n_k is not cancellative for any n greater than 2.
This is an expanded version of the talk by the author at the conference Polynomial Rings and Affine Algebraic Geometry, February 12--16, 2018, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Tokyo, Japan. Considering a local version of the Zariski…
We characterize the Zariski topologies over an algebraically closed field in terms of general dimension-theoretic properties. Some applications are given to complex manifold and to strongly minimal sets.
We give a simple algorithm showing that the reduction of the multiplicity of a characteristic p>0 hypersurface singularity along a valuation is possible if there is a finite linear projection which is defectless. The method begins with the…
Let $X$ and $X'$ be affine algebraic varieties over a field $\mathbb{k}$. The celebrated Zariski Cancellation Problem asks as to when the existence of an isomorphism $X\times\mathbb{A}^n\cong X'\times\mathbb{A}^n$ implies $X\cong X'$. In…
We compare some algebras appeared in the recent attempts to prove resolution of singularities in positive characteristic. We also construct an algebra which encodes the same information and it is equivalent, up to integral closure, to the…
We present an application of elimination theory to the study of singularities over arbitrary fields, particularly to the open problem of resolution. A partial extension of a function, defining resolution of singularities over fields of…
It is known since the works of Zariski in early 40ies that desingularization of varieties along valuations (called local uniformization of valuations) can be considered as the local part of the desingularization problem. It is still an open…
In this paper, we show that Severi varieties parameterizing irreducible reduced planar curves of a given degree and geometric genus are either empty or irreducible in any characteristic. Following Severi's original idea, this gives a new…
This paper represents the main portion of the Ph.D. Thesis of the author, and is the first of the series of four papers, which is a joint work with K. Matsuki as a whole. We present a program toward constructing an algorithm for resolution…
This is a survey on Zariski equisingularity. We recall its definition, main properties, and a variety of applications in Algebraic Geometry and Singularity Theory. In the first part of this survey, we consider Zariski equisingular families…
We give a detailed analysis of a heuristic model for the failure of "saturation" in instances of the Affine Sieve having toral Zariski closure. Based on this model, we formulate precise conjectures on several classical problems of…
