Let $A$ be an associative unital algebra, $B_k$ its successive quotients of lower central series and $N_k$ the successive quotients of ideals generated by lower central series. The geometric and algebraic aspects of $B_k$ and $N_k$ have…
For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…
For a point $x_0$ in a Shimura variety attached to a Shimura datum of Hodge type $(G,X)$, we have an associated abelian scheme $A_0$. Fixing a non-empty finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of primes, we consider the simultaneous supersingular…
Let $\kappa : \mathbb D \times \mathbb D \to \mathbb C$ be a diagonal positive definite kernel and let $\mathscr H_{\kappa}$ denote the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the open unit disc $\mathbb D$.…
For a commutative ring $A$, we have the category of (bounded-below) chain complexes of $A$-modules $Ch_{+}(A\mymod)$, a closed symmetric monoidal category with a compatible stable Quillen model structure. The associated homotopy category is…
Given an $n$-gon, the poset of all collections of pairwise non-crossing diagonals is isomorphic to the face poset of some convex polytope called \textit{associahedron}. We replace in this setting the $n$-gon (viewed as a disc with $n$…
Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>0$. Recent work of Kildetoft and Nakano and of Sobaje has shown close connections between two long-standing conjectures of…
We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i.e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D.Nikshych. In particular,…
In this paper, we investigate the trigonometric Heckman-Opdam polynomials of type $A_1$. We establish connections with ultraspherical polynomials and derive an explicit expression for the associated Poisson kernel. Using the product…
Extending the model of the interval, we explicitly define for each $n\ge 0$ a free complete differential graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{L}_n$ generated by the simplices of $\Delta^n$, with desuspended degrees, in which the vertices are…
We propose a generalization of a conjecture of D. Quillen, on the vanishing of Andr\'e-Quillen homology, to simplicial commutative rings. This conjecture characterizes a notion of local complete intersection, extended to the simplicial…
Within a group-theoretical approach to the description of (2+1)-dimensional anyons, the minimal covariant set of linear differential equations is constructed for the fractional spin fields with the help of the deformed Heisenberg algebra…
We investigate non-semisimple modular categories with an eye towards a structure theory, low-rank classification, and applications to low dimensional topology and topological physics. We aim to extend the well-understood theory of…
Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1_R$ and $k \in R$. Properties of one-sided $k$-orthogonal $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ are presented. When $k$ is idempotent, these matrices form a semigroup structure. Consequently new…
Let $\Omega_n$ be the ring of polynomial-valued holomorphic differential forms on complex $n$-space, referred to in physics as the superspace ring of rank $n$. The symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ acts diagonally on $\Omega_n$ by permuting…
Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a hypersurface local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. We show that there is a non-negative integer $r_I$ (depending only on $I$) such that if $M$ is any non-free maximal…
In the present article, we combine some techniques in the harmonic analysis together with the geometric approach given by modules over sheaves of rings of twisted differential operators ($\mathcal{D}$-modules), and reformulate the…
We develop the theory of semisimplifications of tensor categories defined by Barrett and Westbury. In particular, we compute the semisimplification of the category of representations of a finite group in characteristic $p$ in terms of…
Let $n_0, n_1, \ldots, n_p$ be a sequence of positive integers such that $n_0 < n_1 < \cdots < n_p$ and $\mathrm{gcd}(n_0,n_1, \ldots,n_p) = 1$. Let $S = \langle (0,n_p), (n_0,n_p-n_0),\ldots,(n_{p-1},n_p-n_{p-1}), (n_p,0) \rangle$ be an…
A number of years ago, Kumar Murty pointed out to me that the computation of the fundamental group of a Hilbert modular surface ([7],IV,${\S}$6), and the computation of the congruence subgroup kernel of SL(2) ([6]) were surprisingly…
