Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and let K*/K be a finite extension of algebraic function fields of transcendence degree 2 over k. Let v* be a k-valuation of K* with valuation ring V* and let v be the restriction…

Weinberg's dimensional power counting for nuclei is reprised in this primer. The role of QCD and chiral symmetry in constructing effective Lagrangians is discussed. The two-scale hypothesis of Manohar and Georgi is combined with power…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero. We deal with the algebraic closure of the field of fractions of the ring of formal power series $K[[x_1,\ldots,x_r]]$, $r\geq 2$. More precisely, we view the latter as a subfield of an iterated…

With this work we initiate a study of the representations of a unipotent group over a field of characteristic zero from the modular point of view. Let $G$ be such a group. The stack of all representations of a fixed finite dimension $n$ is…

We initiate a study of the rings of invariants of modular representations of elementary abelian p-groups. With a few notable exceptions, the modular representation theory of an elementary abelian p-group is wild. However, for a given…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2$, let ${\mathfrak g}=\Lie(G)$, let $\theta$ be an involutive automorphism of $G$ and let ${\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak k}\oplus{\mathfrak p}$ be the associated symmetric…

Endomorphism rings of modules appear as the center of a ring, as the fix ring of ring with group action or as the subring of constants of a derivation. This note discusses the question whether certain *-prime modules (introduced by Bican et…

We extend the notion of type sequence to rings that are not necessarily residually rational. Using this invariant we characterize different types of rings as almost Gorenstein rings and rings of maximal length.

Let $F$ be any field of characteristic $p$. It is well-known that there are exactly $p$ inequivalent indecomposable representations $V_1,V_2,...,V_p$ of $C_p$ defined over $F$. Thus if $V$ is any finite dimensional $C_p$-representation…

We investigate the transfer of the Cohen-Macaulay property from a commutative ring to a subring of invariants under the action of a finite group. Our point of view is ring theoretic and not a priori tailored to a particular type of group…

In this paper we examine the commutativity of ideal extensions. We introduce methods of constructing such extensions, in particular we construct a noncommutative ring T which contains a central and idempotent ideal I such that T/I is a…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete equicharacteristic Noetherian domain of dimension $d + 1 \geq 2$. Assume $k = A/\mathfrak{m}$ has characteristic zero and that $A$ is not a regular local ring. Let $Sing(A)$ the singular locus of $A$ be…

J.~Rosen introduced the ring $\mathcal{P}^0_{\mathcal{A}}$ of so-called finite algebraic numbers, which may be seen as an analogue of certain periods in the ring $\mathcal{A}=\prod_p \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} /\bigoplus_p…

We study automorphism and birational automorphism groups of varieties over fields of positive characteristic from the point of view of Jordan and $p$-Jordan property. In particular, we show that the Cremona group of rank $2$ over a field of…

Based upon properties of ordinal length, we introduce a new class of modules, the binary modules, and study their endomorphism ring. The nilpotent endomorphisms form a two-sided ideal, and after factoring this out, we get a commutative…

This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…

We develop a character approach to study the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity property (abbreviated as the ISR property) introduced in Amrutam-Jiang's work. First, we introduce the non-factorizable regular character property for…

Let X be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that if D is a pseudo-effective R-divisor on X which is not numerically equivalent to the negative part in its divisorial Zariski…

Let $ K $ be a global function field of characteristic $ 2 $. For each non-trivial place $ v $ of $ K $, let $ K_{v} $ be the completion of $ K $ at $ v $. We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every $ K_{v} $,…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of positive characteristic. The characteristic $p$ is very good for $G$ when $p$ is suitably large and, if $G$ is of type…
