We prove a structure theorem for Yetter-Drinfel'd Hopf algebras over groups of prime order that are nontrivial, cocommutative, and cosemisimple: Under certain assumptions on the base field, these algebras can be decomposed into a tensor…

Let $E$ be a field, $p$ a prime number and $F/E$ a finitely-generated extension of transcendency degree $t$. This paper shows that if the absolute Galois group $\mathcal{G}_{E}$ is of nonzero cohomological $p$-dimension cd$_{p}(E)$, then…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $p$ a prime number and $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$. Recently, G. Malle, G. Navarro, and P. H. Tiep conjectured that the number of $p$-Brauer characters of $G$ coincides with that of the normaliser ${\bf…

In braided tensor categories we show the Maschke's theorem and give the necessary and sufficient conditions for double cross biproducts and crossbiproducts and biproducts to be bialgebras. We obtain the factorization theorem for braided…

We construct a faithful categorical representation of an infinite Temperley-Lieb algebra on the periplectic analogue of Deligne's category. We use the corresponding combinatorics to classify thick tensor ideals in this periplectic Deligne…

We look at classes of semiassociative algebras, with an emphasis on those that canonically generalize associative (generalized) cyclic algebras, and at their behaviour in the semiassociative Brauer monoid defined by Blachar, Haile, Matzri,…

A study of the set N_p of positive integers which occur as orders of nonsingular derivations of finite-dimensional non-nilpotent Lie algebras of characteristic p>0 was initiated by Shalev and continued by the present author. The main goal…

Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime. A module for G over a field of characteristic p is called algebraic if it satisfies a polynomial, with addition and multiplication given by direct sum and tensor product. In some sense, having…

A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…

The Brauer algebra has a basis of diagrams and these generate a monoid $H$ consisting of scalar multiples of diagrams. Following a recent paper by Kudryavtseva and Mazorchuk, we define and completely determine three types of conjugation in…

Let $A$ be the generic abelian crossed product with respect to $\mathbb{Z}_3\times \mathbb{Z}_3$, in this note we show that $A$ is similar to the tensor product of 4 symbol algebras (3 of degree 9 and one of degree 3) and if $A$ is of…

Let F be a field of transcendence degree one over a p-adic field, and let l be a prime not equal to p. Results of Merkurjev and Saltman show that H^2(F,\mu_l) is generated by Z/l-cyclic classes. We prove the "Z/l-length" in H^2(F,\mu_l)…

The Brauer-Chen algebra is a generalization of the algebra of Brauer diagrams to arbitrary complex reflection groups, that admits a natural monodromic deformation. We determine the generic representation theory of the first non trivial…

We prove that $p$-primary cohomology classes of a torus $T$ over a global function field of characteristic $p$ may be split by suitable separable $p$-primary extensions. More precisely, we show that such cohomology classes will split in any…

We define the notion of a Brauer pair of a chain complex, extending the notion of a Brauer pair of a $p$-permutation module introduced by Boltje and Perepelitsky. In fact, the Brauer pairs of a splendid Rickard equivalence $C$ coincide with…

Milliet asks the following question: given two prime numbers $p\neq q$, is there a division algebra of characteristic $p$ which is of dp-rank $q^2$ and of dimension $q^2$ over its center? We answer in the affirmative. We also give an…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional division algebra containing a base field $k$ in its center $F$. We say that $A$ is defined over a subfield $F_0$ of $F$ if $A = A_0\otimes_{F_0} F$ for some $F_0$-subalgebra $A_0$ of $A$. We show that: (1) In…

In an attempt to get some information on the multiplicative structure of the Green ring we study algebraic modules for simple groups, and associated groups such as quasisimple and almost-simple groups. We prove that, for almost all groups…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field with residue field $\bar K$ of dimension $1$ (not necessarily perfect). This occurs if and only if $K$ has dimension $2$. We prove the following statements on the arithmetic of such fields: -…

Let $(K, v)$ be a Henselian discrete valued field with a quasifinite residue field. This paper proves the existence of an algebraic extension $E/K$ satisfying the following: (i) $E$ has dimension dim$(E) \le 1$, i.e. the Brauer group Br$(E…
