Categorical constructions on heaps and modules over trusses are considered and contrasted with the corresponding constructions on groups and rings. These include explicit description of free heaps and free Abelian heaps, coproducts or…

The long-standing Auslander and Reiten Conjecture states that a finitely generated module over a finite-dimensional algebra is projective if certain Ext-groups vanish. Several authors, including Avramov, Buchweitz, Iyengar, Jorgensen,…

We prove twisted homological stability with polynomial coefficients for automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups of any given class. These groups interpolate between two extremes for which homological stability was known before, the…

The purpose of this paper is to prove that certain limits of polynomial rings are themselves polynomial rings, and show how this observation can be used to deduce some interesting results in commutative algebra. In particular, we give two…

Let $A\to B$ be a morphism of Artin local rings with the same embedding dimension. We prove that any $A$-flat $B$-module is $B$-flat. This freeness criterion was conjectured by de Smit in 1997 and improves Diamond's Theorem 2.1 from his…

We provide counterexamples to P. Olver's freeness conjecture for $C^\infty$ actions. In fact, we show that a counterexample exists for any connected real Lie group with noncompact center, as well as for the additive group of the integers.

For automorphisms of a polynomial ring in two variables over a domain R, we show that local tameness implies global tameness provided that every 2-generated invertible R-module is free. We give many examples illustrating this property.

Forman's Discrete Morse theory is studied from an algebraic viewpoint. Analogous to independent work of Emil Skoeldberg we show that this theory can be extended to chain complexes of free modules over a ring. We provide three applications…

In this article, the projectivity of finitely generated flat modules of a commutative ring are studied from a topological point of view. Then various interesting results are obtained. For instance, it is shown that if a ring has either a…

In analogy with the geometric situation, we study real calculi over projective modules and show that they can be realized as projections of free real calculi. Moreover, we consider real calculi over matrix algebras and discuss several…

In [5, 6] it has been proved that the ring of quasisymmetric functions over the integers is free polynomial, see also [4]. This is a matter that has been of great interest since 1972; for instance because of the role this statement plays in…

We show that all the projective modules over the coordinate ring of the real algebraic sphere of dimension 3 are free

We continue the theory of $\tT$-systems from the work of the second author, describing both ground systems and module systems over a ground system (paralleling the theory of modules over an algebra). The theory, summarized categorically at…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ a commutative cancellative torsion-free seminormal monoid. Then (1) Let $A$ be a ring of type $R[d,m,n]$ and $P$ be a projective $A[M]$-module of rank $r \geq max\{2,d+1\}$.…

We define, via Gorenstein homomorphisms, a class of local rings over which there exist non-trivial totally reflexive modules. We also provide a general construction of such rings, which indicates their abundance.

Given a topological ring $R$, we study semitopological $R$-modules, construct their completions, Bohr and borno modifications. For every topological space $X$, we construct the free (semi)topological $R$-module over $X$ and prove that for a…

We show the properness of the moduli stack of stable surfaces over $\mathbb{Z}[1/30]$, assuming the locally-stable reduction conjecture for stable surfaces. This relies on a local Kawamata--Viehweg vanishing theorem for for 3-dimensional…

Makar-Limanov's conjecture states that if a division ring D is finitely generated and infinite dimensional over its center k then D contains a free k-subalgebra of rank 2. In this work, we will investigate the existence of such structures…

Let $X$ be a smooth, irreducible, projective algebraic surface, and let $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}[m]_{>0}$ be a polynomial. In this paper, we determine topological and geometric properties of the moduli space of $\alpha$-stable coherent…

We prove that for a Frobenius extension, if a module over the extension ring is Gorenstein projective, then its underlying module over the the base ring is Gorenstein projective; the converse holds if the Frobenius extension is either…
