In previous work, the authors introduced the ozone group of an associative algebra as the subgroup of automorphisms which fix the center pointwise. The authors studied PI skew polynomial algebras, using the ozone group to understand their…

We study the ozone group of noetherian Artin--Schelter regular algebras satisfying a polynomial identity (or PI for short). The ozone group was shown in previous work by the authors to be an important invariant in the study of PI skew…

We prove that the ozone group of any PI Artin-Schelter regular algebra is abelian, which answers a question of Chan-Gaddis-Won-Zhang. For any Calabi-Yau PI Artin-Schelter regular algebra, we prove that the homological determinant of its…

We study PI quantum matrix algebras and their automorphisms using the noncommutative discriminant. In the multi-parameter case at $n=2$ and $n=3$, we show that all automorphisms are graded when the center is a polynomial ring. In the…

We study a family of Calabi--Yau algebras that include the quadratic Artin--Schelter regular algebras associated to a nodal cubic. It is shown that these algebras have trivial ozone group, that is, the identity is the only automorphism that…

We consider the permutation group algebra defined by Cameron and show that if the permutation group has no finite orbits, then no homogeneous element of degree one is a zero-divisor of the algebra. We proceed to make a conjecture which…

The aim of this paper is two fold: First to study finite groups $G$ of automorphisms of the homogenized Weyl algebra $B_{n}$, the skew group algebra $B_{n}\ast G$, the ring of invariants $B_{n}^{G}$, and the relations of these algebras with…

Let $G$ be a locally profinite group and let $k$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. Let $Z(G)$ denote the center of $G$ and let $\mathfrak{Z}(G)$ denote the Bernstein center of $G$, that is, the $k$-algebra of natural endomorphisms…

The symmetric group S_n acts on the skew polynomial ring A=k_{-1}[x_1,..., x_n] as permutations. For subgroups G of S_n we consider properties of the ring of invariants A^G. We show that A^G is always Artin-Schelter Gorenstein, and we…

We discuss Poisson structures on a weighted polynomial algebra $A:=\Bbbk[x, y, z]$ defined by a homogeneous element $\Omega\in A$, called a potential. We start with classifying potentials $\Omega$ of degree deg$(x)+$deg$(y)+$deg$(z)$ with…

We study important invariants and properties of the Veronese subalgebras of $q$-skew polynomial rings, including their discriminant, center and automorphism group, as well as cancellation property and the Tits alternative.

We determine the rings of invariants in the symmetric algebra on the dual of a vector space V over the field of two elements, for the group G of orthogonal transformations preserving a non-singular quadratic form on V. The invariant ring is…

Given a representation of a finite group $G$ over some commutative base ring $\mathbf{k}$, the cofixed space is the largest quotient of the representation on which the group acts trivially. If $G$ acts by $\mathbf{k}$-algebra automorphisms,…

The study of invariants of group actions on commutative polynomial rings has motivated many developments in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. It has been of particular interest to understand what conditions on the group result in…

We study the algebraic structure of the Poisson algebra P(O) of polynomials on a coadjoint orbit O of a semisimple Lie algebra. We prove that P(O) splits into a direct sum of its center and its derived ideal. We also show that P(O) is…

We give an explicit algebraic description, based on prismatic cohomology, of the algebraic K-groups of rings of the form $O_K/I$ where $K$ is a p-adic field and $I$ is a non-trivial ideal in the ring of integers $O_K$; this class includes…

Given a group G, a (unital) ring A and a group homomorphism $\sigma : G \to \Aut(A)$, one can construct the skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$. We show that a skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$, of an abelian group G, is simple if…

We examine the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model on a circle and compute the Poisson bracket algebra for left and right moving chiral group elements. Our computations apply for arbitrary groups and boundary conditions, the latter…

We investigate deformations of skew group algebras that arise from a finite cyclic group acting on a polynomial ring in positive characteristic, where characteristic divides the order of the group. We allow deformations which deform both…

We classify the centers of the quantized Weyl algebras that are PI and derive explicit formulas for the discriminants of these algebras over a general class of polynomial central subalgebras. Two different approaches to these formulas are…
