By adapting the technique of David, Koukoulopoulos and Smith for computing sums of Euler products, and using their interpretation of results of Schoof \`a la Gekeler, we determine the average number of subgroups (or cyclic subgroups) of an…
We study self-adjoint semigroups of partial isometries on a Hilbert space. These semigroups coincide precisely with faithful representations of abstract inverse semigroups. Groups of unitary operators are specialized examples of…
The best known method to give a lower bound for the Noether number of a given finite group is to use the fact that it is greater than or equal to the Noether number of any of the subgroups or factor groups. The results of the present paper…
The descent algebra of the symmetric group, over a field of non-zero characteristic p, is studied. A homomorphism into the algebra of generalised p-modular characters of the symmetric group is defined. This is then used to determine the…
Let $V$ be an algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb R$, and $V_{top}$ the space of its complex points. We compare the algebraic Witt group $W(V)$ of symmetric bilinear forms on vector bundles over $V$, with the topological Witt group…
Let $H$ be a numerical semigroup. We give effective bounds for the multiplicity $e(H)$ when the associated graded ring $\operatorname{gr}_\mathfrak{m} K[H]$ is defined by quadrics. We classify Koszul complete intersection semigroups in…
We introduce the AdditiveToricVarieties package for Macaulay2, a software system for algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, with methods for working with additive group actions on complete toric varieties. More precisely, we implement…
We present a systematic effective method to construct coarse fundamental domains for the action of the Picard modular groups $PU(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d)$ where $\mathcal{O}_d$ has class number one, i.e. $d=1,2,3,7,11,19,43,67,163$. The…
We prove many new cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions by lattices in non-$\mathbb{R}$-split semisimple Lie groups $G$. By prior arguments, Zimmer's conjecture reduces to studying certain probability measures invariant under a minimal…
We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…
We give a new general technique for constructing and counting number fields with an ideal class group of nontrivial m-rank. Our results can be viewed as providing a way of specializing the Picard group of a variety V over $\mathbb{Q}$ to…
Based on a fact that complex Clifford algebras of even dimension are isomorphic to the matrix ones, we consider bundles in Clifford algebras whose structure group is a general linear group acting on a Clifford algebra by left…
Let G be an even orthogonal or unitary group over a number field. Based on the same observation used in arXiv:1705.10106, we prove the Arthur's multiplicity formula for the generic part of the automorphic discrete spectrum of G by using the…
We compute the Picard group of the stack of elliptic curves equipped with a cyclic subgroup of order two, and of the stack of elliptic curves equipped with a cyclic subgroup of order three, over any base scheme on which 6 is invertible.…
In this paper we study modular tensor categories (braided rigid balanced tensor categories with additional finiteness and non-degeneracy conditions), in particular, representations of quantum groups at roots of unity. We show that the…
Let $S$ be a certain affine algebraic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that it admits a regular map to $\mathbb{A}^2/\mathbb{Q}$. We show that any non-trivial torsion line bundle in the relative Picard group $Pic^0\left(S/\mathbb{A}^2\right)$…
The action dimension of a discrete group G, actdim(G), is defined to be the smallest integer m such that G admits a properly discontinuous action on a contractible m-manifold. If no such m exists, we define actdim(G) = infty. Bestvina,…
We construct a well-behaved stable category of modules for a large class of infinite groups. We then consider its Picard group, which is the group of invertible (or endotrivial) modules. We show how this group can be calculated when the…
In this paper, we study Ulrich bundles on smooth toric threefolds with Picard number$~2$, namely $\mathbb P(\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^{2}}(a_0) \oplus \mathcal O_{\mathbb P^{2}}(a_1))$. We construct resolutions and monads for Ulrich bundles of…
Let $\mathcal C$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve over the complex numbers and let $G$ be a simple simply-connected complex algebraic group. Let $\mathfrak M=\mathfrak M(G,\mathcal C)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal…
