We investigate two invariants of Noetherian semiperfect rings, namely the depth and a new invariant we call the "delooping level". These give lower and upper bounds for the finitistic dimension, respectively. As first theorems, we give a…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. We prove that if R is either an equidimensional finitely generated algebra over a perfect field, or an equidimensional equicharacteristic complete local ring with a perfect residue field, then the…

Let $K$ be a one-variable function field over a field of constants of characteristic 0. Let $R$ be a holomorphy subring of $K$, not equal to $K$. We prove the following undecidability results for $R$: If $K$ is recursive, then Hilbert's…

Let F and K be number fields, with F contained in K. and let O_F and O_K be their rings of integers. If there exists an elliptic curve E over F such that E(F) and E(K) have rank 1, then there exists a diophantine definition of O_F over O_K.

If totally periodic points are dense in a subshift $X$, its automorphism group is residually finite. We show a weak converse: if periodic points are not dense in a subshift $X$, then the automorphism group of $X \times Y$ is not residually…

This note is a continuation of the study of the relationship between the geometry of Cayley graphs and the size of its metric-functional boundary. We show that, if there exists a Cayley graph with finitely many Busemann points, then the…

We prove that the space of dominant/non-constant holomorphic mappings from a product of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of finite type into certain hyperbolic manifolds with universal cover a bounded domain is a finite set.

In this paper we investigate the concept of radical factorization with respect to finitary ideal systems of cancellative monoids. We present new characterizations for r-almost Dedekind r-SP-monoids and provide specific descriptions of…

In this paper, we compute the number of distinct centralizers of some classes of finite rings. We then characterize all finite rings with $n$ distinct centralizers for any positive integer $n \leq 5$. Further we give some connections…

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space with $|X|=n$. For a positive integer $k$ we define $A_k(X)$ to be the quotient set of all $k$-subsets of $X$ by isometry, and we denote $|A_k(X)|$ by $a_k$. The sequence $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n})$ is…

We give new classes of examples of orbits of the diagonal group in the space of unit volume lattices in R^d for d > 2 with nice (homogeneous) orbit closures, as well as examples of orbits with explicitly computable but irregular orbit…

We consider the class of all commutative reduced rings for which there exists a finite subset T of A such that all projections on quotients by prime ideals of A are surjective when restricted to T. A complete structure theorem is given for…

A notable example due to Heier, Lu, Wong, and Zheng shows that there exist compact complex K\"ahler manifolds with ample canonical line bundle such that the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative semi-definite and vanishes along…

We describe the group SK_1(R[G]) for group rings R[G] where G is an arbitrary finite group and where the coefficient ring R is a p-adically complete Noetherian integral domain of characteristic zero which admits a lift of Frobenius and…

We study finite orbits for non-elementary groups of automorphisms of compact projective surfaces. In particular we prove that if the surface and the group are defined over a number field k and the group contains parabolic elements, then the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$ defined by a monic irreducible cubic polynomial $F(x)$. When $E$ is \textit{nice} at all finite primes of $K$, we bound its $2$-Selmer rank in terms of the $2$-rank of a modified ideal…

Federer's characterization states that a set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of finite perimeter if and only if $\mathcal H^{n-1}(\partial^*E)<\infty$. Here the measure-theoretic boundary $\partial^*E$ consists of those points where both $E$ and…

We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\O$ in the Euclidean space $\R^d$ for which the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on $\Omega$ admits sign-changing eigenfunctions with constant Neumann values on $\partial…

Let $X\subset A^{Z^d}$ be a $2$-dimensional subshift of finite type. We prove that any $2$-dimensional multidimensional subshift of finite type can be characterized by a square matrix of infinite dimension. We extend our result to a general…

Let R be a regular ring of characteristic p. Hochster showed that the category of Lyubeznik's F-modules has enough injectives, so that every F-module has an injective resolution in this category. We show that under mild conditions on R, for…
