Let $\Delta$ be a numerical semigroup and let $d\ge 2$ be an integer. We study the fiber of the quotient map \(S\mapsto S/d\) over $\Delta$. We describe its elements as semigroups of the form $\langle X\rangle+d\Delta$, for suitable finite…

An example of a finite dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf C-algebra is given by a quotient H=u_q(g) of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U_q(g) at a root of unity q of odd degree. The mapping class group M_{g,1} of a surface of…

We survey results on factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducible elements) in noncommutative rings. The point of view in this survey is motivated by the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations. Topics covered include…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

Let $K$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity, let $A$ be a $K$-algebra, and let $B$ be a subalgebra of $A$ such that $A/B$ is finitely generated as a $K$-module. The main result of the paper is that $A$ is finitely presented…

Let $\Aa_t$ be the directed quiver of type $\Aa$ with $t$ vertices. For each dimension vector $d$ there is a dense orbit in the corresponding representation space. The principal aim of this note is to use just rank conditions to define the…

The residual finite-dimensionality of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra is known to be encoded in a topological property of its space of representations, stating that finite-dimensional representations should be dense therein. We extend this…

Let k be a field and q a non-zero element of k. In Part I, we have exhibited a 6-dimensional k-algebra A = A(q) and we have shown that if q has infinite multiplicative order, then A has a 3-dimensional local module which is…

Let $R$ be a domain and $B=R[x_1^{\pm1},\ldots,x_n^{\pm1}]$ the Laurent polynomial ring over $R$. In this paper we study pre-factorially closed (pfc) and quasi-factorially closed (qfc) $R$-subalgebras of $B$, which generalize the notion of…

Let E be a Real or Quaternionic Hermitian vector bundle over a Klein surface M. We study the action of the gauge group of E on the space of Galois-invariant unitary connections and we show that the closure of a semi-stable orbit contains a…

Let G be a finite group, let A be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, and let \alpha \colon G \to Aut (A) be an action of G on A which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. Let A^{\alpha} be the fixed point…

For a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak{g}}$ and a root $q$ of unity in a field $k,$ we associate to these data a double quiver $\bar{\cal{Q}}.$ It is shown that a restricted version of the quantized enveloping algebras…

Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…

We define the associated variety $ X_{M} $ of a module $ M $ over a finite-dimensional superalgebra $ {\mathfrak g} $, and show how to extract information about $ M $ from these geometric data. $ X_{M} $ is a subvariety of the cone $ X $ of…

A domain $R$ is said to have the finite factorization property if every nonzero non-unit element of $R$ has at least one and at most finitely many distinct factorizations up to multiplication of irreducible factors by central units. Let $k$…

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,…

For any ring $R$, we introduce an invariant in the form of a partially ordered abelian semigroup $\mathrm{S}(R)$ built from an equivalence relation on the class of countably generated projective modules. We call $\mathrm{S}(R)$ the Cuntz…

Let $(Q,W)$ be a quiver with a non degenerate potential. We give a new description of the \textbf{c}-vectors of $Q$. We use it to show that, if $Q$ is mutation equivalent to a Dynkin quiver, then the set of positive $\mathbf{c}$-vectors of…
