Let $G$ be an abelian group and $\mathbb{K}$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. A. Valenti and M. Zaicev described the $G$-gradings on upper block-triangular matrix algebras provided that $G$ is finite. We prove that…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite rank subgroup of $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^*$. We prove that the multiplicative group of the field generated by all elements in the divisible hull of $\Gamma$, is free abelian modulo this divisible hull. This proves…

If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible non-uniform higher-rank characteristic zero arithmetic lattice (for example, $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$, $n \geq 3$) and $\Lambda$ is a finitely generated group that is elementarily equivalent to $\Gamma$, then…

There are familiar examples of computable structures having various computable Scott ranks. There are also familiar structures, such as the Harrison ordering, which have Scott rank $\omega_1^{CK}+1$. Makkai produced a structure of Scott…

We introduce an elementary class of linearly ordered groups, called growth order groups, encompassing certain groups under composition of formal series (e.g. transseries) as well as certain groups $\mathcal{G}_{\mathcal{M}}$ of infinitely…

We describe an linear representation for Abel-Grassmann groups. As a consequence, we obtain or improve many previous results. In particular, enumeration of Abel-Grassmann groups up to isomorphism is obtained for orders <512.

We show that the isomorphism problem is solvable in the class of central extensions of word-hyperbolic groups, and that the isomorphism problem for biautomatic groups reduces to that for biautomatic groups with finite centre. We describe an…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension with certain finiteness conditions of the type satisfied by arithmetic groups. We define a representation ring for $\Gamma$, determined on its elements of finite…

This paper is part of a program to understand topologies on spaces of valuations. We fix an ordered abelian group $\Gamma$ and an integral domain $R$. We study the relation between a topology on $\Gamma_\infty$ and the induced topology on…

Let $\Gamma$ be a totally ordered group. We use Hahn's embedding theorem to construct a totally ordered set $\Gamma\subset \Gamma_{\operatorname{sme}}$ which classifies small extensions of $\Gamma$. This small-extensions closure…

In this paper we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group $\Gamma$ of a simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic 0.

In this paper, we give a characterization of the action of any abelian subgroup G of GL(n, C) on C^n. We prove that any orbit of G is regular with order m<=2n. Moreover, we give a method to determine this order. In the other hand, we…

We analyze definably compact groups in o-minimal expansions of ordered groups as a combination of semi-linear groups and groups definable in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The analysis involves structure theorems about their…

Strongly dependent ordered abelian groups have finite dp-rank. They are precisely those groups with finite spines and $|\{p\text{ prime}:[G:pG]=\infty\}|<\infty$. We apply this to show that if $K$ is a strongly dependent field, then $(K,v)$…

We investigate the behavior of finitely generated projective modules over a down-up algebra. Specifically, we show that every noetherian down-up algebra $A(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ has a non-free, stably free right ideal. Further, we compute…

We describe in the space of binary forms of degree d the strata of forms having constant rank. We also give a simple algorithm to determine the rank of a given form.

If X is a CW complex, one can assign to each point of X an ordered abelian group of finite rank whose subset of positive elements depends continuously on the points of X. A locally trivial bundle which arises in this way we denote by E(X).…

We calculate the real rank and stable rank of CCR algebras which either have only finite dimensional irreducible representations or have finite topological dimension. We show that either rank of A is determined in a good way by the ranks of…

Given a finite connected simple graph $\Gamma$, and a subgroup $G$ of its automorphism group, a general method for finding all finite abelian regular coverings of $\Gamma$ that admit a lift of each element of $G$ is developed. As an…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety of dimension $n$ and $G$ an abelian group of automorphisms such that all elements of $G\setminus \{\mathrm{id}\}$ are of positive entropy. Dinh and Sibony showed that $G$ is actually free abelian of…
