Let S be a commutative ring, x, y $\in$ S a pair of exact zero divisors, and R = S/(x). Let F be a complex of free R-modules. In this paper we explicitly compute cohomological operators of R over S by constructing endomorphisms of F. We…

Let $Q$ be a local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{n}$ and let $f,g\in \mathfrak{n}\smallsetminus\mathfrak{n}^2$ with $fg=0$. When $M$ is a finite $Q$-module with $fM=0$, we show that a minimal free resolution of $M$ over $Q$ has a…

We investigate the relationship between mapping cones and matrix ordered *-vector spaces (i.e., abstract operator systems). We show that to every mapping cone there is an associated operator system on the space of n-by-n complex matrices,…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m, \mathsf k)$ be a complete intersection local ring, $K$ be the Koszul complex on a minimal set of generators of $\mathfrak m$, and $A=H(K)$ be its homology algebra. We establish exact sequences involving direct sums of…

We describe a general method to construct completely bounded idempotent mappings on operator spaces, starting from amenable semigroups of completely bounded mappings. We then explore several applications of that method to injective operator…

Let $(Q,\mathfrak n,k)$ be a commutative local Noetherian ring, $f_1,\dots, f_c$ a $Q$-regular sequence in $\mathfrak n$, and $R=Q/(f_1,\dots,f_c)$. Given a complex of finitely generated free $R$-modules, we give a construction of a complex…

We study the string topology of a closed oriented Riemannian manifold M. We describe a compact moduli space of diagrams, and show how the cellular chain complex of this space gives algebraic operations on the singular chains of the free…

Let $S$ denote the graded polynomial ring $\C[x_1,...,x_m]$. We interpret a chain complex of free $S$-modules having finite length homology modules as an $S^1$-equivariant map $\C^m\sm\{0\} \to X$, where $X$ is a moduli space of exact…

This paper provides an Open Mapping Theorem for topological modules over rings that have a zero sequence consisting of units. As an application it is shown that there is a unique complete and metrisable topology on finitely generated…

In this paper, we shall compute the chain complex and the corresponding homology of some Morse function $f$ over integer coefficients. The definition of the correct boundary operator requires a careful construction of moduli space of…

In this paper we initiate the study of the total zero-divisor graphs over commutative rings with unity. These graphs are constructed by both relations that arise from the zero-divisor graph and from the total graph of a ring. We…

We study the question when for a given *-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ a sequence of cones $C_n\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ can be realized as cones of positive operators in a faithful *-representation of $\mathcal{A}$ on a Hilbert space. A…

In the finite-dimensional case, we present a new approach to the theory of cones with a mapping cone symmetry, first introduced by St{\o}rmer. Our method is based on a definition of an inner product in the space of linear maps between two…

We study the homological behavior of modules over local rings modulo exact zero-divisors. We obtain new results which are in some sense "opposite" to those known for modules over local rings modulo regular elements.

Let $(Q, \mathfrak{n})$ be a regular local ring and let $f_1, \ldots, f_c \in \mathfrak{n}^2$ be a $Q$-regular sequence. Set $(A, \mathfrak{m}) = (Q/(\mathbf{f}), \mathfrak{n}/(\mathbf{f}))$. Further assume that the initial forms $f_1^*,…

An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…

We prove that a nonzero idempotent is zero-diagonal if and only if it is not a Hilbert-Schmidt perturbation of a projection, along with other useful equivalences. Zero-diagonal operators are those whose diagonal entries are identically zero…

This paper studies the zero-divisor graphs attached to several finite chain-ring families and computes the homological invariants of their edge ideals by using cochordal constructible systems. We begin with a general layered graph $C(q,L)$,…

The structure of cones of positive and k-positive maps acting on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is investigated. Special emphasis is given to their duality relations to the sets of superpositive and k-superpositive maps. We characterize…

In this paper we consider a class of connected closed $G$-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each $M$ of which is totally non-homologous to zero in $M_G$ (or $G$-equivariantly formal), where $G={\Bbb Z}_2$. With the help of…
