Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a $G$-graded simple module over a unital associative algebra, graded by an abelian group $G$, to be isomorphic to a loop module of a simple module, as well as for two such loop modules to be…

We provide an algorithm for calculating the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space $X$ of a semi-simple simply connected group $H$ with finite geometric stabiliser over any field of characteristic 0. When $k$ is a number field, we…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group (GBS group) is a finitely generated group $G$ which acts on a tree with all edge and vertex stabilizers infinite cyclic. We show that Out(G) either contains non-abelian free groups or is virtually…

In this note, starting with any group homomorphism $f\colon\Gamma\to G$, which is surjective upon abelianization, we construct a universal central extension $u\colon U\twoheadrightarrow G,$ UNDER $\Gamma$ with the same surjective property,…

For any $g_1, g_2 \ge 0$, this paper shows that there is a cocompact lattice $\Gamma < \mathrm{PU}(2,1)$ such that the ball quotient $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{B}^2$ is birational to a product $C_1 \times C_2$ of smooth projective curves…

We study how the partial group (co)homology of a group $G$ with coefficient in a partial representation $M$ can be described using the usual group (co)homology. To address this, we introduce the concept of the \textit{universal…
