Given a hyperplane arrangement A in a real vector space, we introduce a real algebraic prevariety Z(A), and exhibit the complement of the complexification of A as the total space of an affine bundle with fibers modeled on the dual of the…

We give a cohomological interpretation of the Heaviside filtration on the Varchenko--Gelfand ring of a pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{K})$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a real hyperplane arrangement and $\mathcal{K}$ is a convex open subset of the…

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of…

An element $a$ of a ring $R$ is called perfectly clean if there exists an idempotent $e\in comm^2(a)$ such that $a-e\in U(R)$. A ring $R$ is perfectly clean in case every element in $R$ is perfectly clean. In this paper, we investigate…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

A ring $R$ is called strongly clean if every element of $R$ is the sum of a unit and an idempotent that commute. By {\rm SRC} factorization, Borooah, Diesl, and Dorsey \cite{BDD051} completely determined when ${\mathbb M}_n(R)$ over a…

We study the geometry of the stratification induced by an affine hyperplane arrangement H on the quotient of a complex affine space by the action of a discrete group preserving H. We give conditions ensuring normality or normality in…

We generalize a result of M. Kapranov, O. Schiffmann, and E. Vasserot by showing that, for a number field $K$ with class number one, the spherical Hall algebra of $\overline{\operatorname{Spec}(\mathcal{O}_K)}$, where $\mathcal{O}_K$ is the…

An element of a ring $R$ is called strongly $J^{\#}$-clean provided that it can be written as the sum of an idempotent and an element in $J^{\#}(R)$ that commute. We characterize, in this article, the strongly $J^{\#}$-cleanness of matrices…

Some variations of $\pi$-regular and nil clean rings were recently introduced in \cite{5,8,7}, respectively. In this paper, we examine the structure and relationships between these classes of rings. Specifically, we prove that $(m,…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily commutative ring) with identity. The clean graph Cl(R) of a ring R is a graph with vertices in the form of ordered pair (e; u), where e is an idempotent of the ring R and u is a unit of the ring R. Two…

Let $Conf^{lf}_{\infty}(\C)$ and $C^{lf}_{\infty}(\C)$ denote the locally finite infinite ordered and unordered configuration spaces of the complex plane. We prove that both $Conf^{lf}_{\infty}(\C)$ and $C^{lf}_{\infty}(\C)$ are aspherical.…

The congruence orbit of a matrix has a natural connection with the linear complementarity problem on simplicial cones formulated for the matrix. In terms of the two approaches -- the congruence orbit and the family of all simplicial cones…

Varchenko's approach to quantum groups, from the theory of arrangements of hyperplanes, can be usefully applied to q-algebras in general, of which quantum groups and quantum (super) Kac-Moody algebras are special cases. New results are…

We extend the Billera-Ehrenborg-Readdy map between the intersection lattice and face lattice of a central hyperplane arrangement to affine and toric hyperplane arrangements. For arrangements on the torus, we also generalize Zaslavsky's…

We investigate homological properties of perfect algebras of prime characteristic. The principle is as follows: perfect algebras resolve the singularities. For example, we show any module over the ring of absolute integral closure has…

Let $B$ be an arrangement of linear complex hyperplanes in $C^d$. Then a classical result by Orlik \& Solomon asserts that the cohomology algebra of the complement can be constructed from the combinatorial data that are given by the…

We study the interplay between the notions of $n$-coherent rings and finitely $n$-presented modules, and also study the relative homological algebra associated to them. We show that the $n$-coherency of a ring is equivalent to the thickness…

We introduce the spin Hecke algebra, which is a q-deformation of the spin symmetric group algebra, and its affine generalization. We establish an algebra isomorphism which relates our spin (affine) Hecke algebras to the (affine)…

In this paper, new criteria for zero dimensional rings, Gelfand rings, clean rings and mp-rings are given. A new class of rings is introduced and studied, we call them purified rings. Specially, reduced purified rings are characterized. New…
