We develop the theory of groupoid graded semisimple rings. Our rings are neither unital nor one-sided artinian. Instead, they exhibit a strong version of having local units and being locally artinian, and we call them $\Gamma_0$-artinian.…

We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…

Fix an infinite field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and let $\g$ be the Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_{\infty}$ if $p=0$ and $\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_p$ otherwise. Let $\PP$ denote the category of strict polynomial functors defined over $k$. We…

The main goal of this paper is to compute two related numerical invariants of a primitive ideal in the universal enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra. The first one, very classical, is the Goldie rank of an ideal. The second one…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a free Lie conformal algebra of rank $2$ with $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-basis $\{L,I\}$ and relations \begin{eqnarray*} \left[L_{\lambda} L\right]=(\partial+2 \lambda) (L+I),\ \left[L_{\lambda} I\right]=(\partial+\lambda)…

Following our first article, we continue to investigate ultrametic modules over a ring of twisted polynomials of the form $[K;\vfi]$, where $\vfi$ is a ring endomorphism of $K$. The main motivation comes from the the theory of valued…

The aim of this paper is to unify classification theories of torsion classes of finite dimensional algebras and commutative Noetherian rings. For a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and a module-finite $R$-algebra $\Lambda$, we study the set…

We describe the class of semi-stable model categories, which generalize the equivalence of finite products and coproducts in abelian and stable model categories, and use this to establish Morita equivalences among categories of functors. We…

This paper studies so-called "null polynomials modulo m", i.e., polynomials with integer coefficients that satisfy f(x)=0 (mod m) for any integer x. The study on null polynomials is helpful to reduce congruences of higher degrees modulo m…

A functor of sets $\mathbb X$ over the category of $K$-commutative algebras is said to be an affine functor if its functor of functions, $\mathbb A_{\mathbb X}$, is reflexive and $\mathbb X=\Spec \mathbb A_{\mathbb X}$. We prove that affine…

Let G be a finite group that acts on an abelian monoid A. If f: A -> G is a map so that f(a f(a)(b)) = f(a)f(b), for all a, b in A, then the submonoid S = {(a, f(a)) | a in A} of the associated semidirect product of A and G is said to be a…

Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. The subgroup zeta function $\zeta_N^{\leq}(s)$ and the normal zeta function $\zeta_N^\lhd(s)$ of $N$ are Dirichlet series enumerating the finite index subgroups or the finite index normal…

We present a procedure that constructs, in a combinatorial manner, a chain complex of free modules over a polynomial ring in finitely many variables, modulo an ideal generated by quadratic monomials. Applying this procedure to two specific…

We investigate the category of U(h)-free g-modules. Using a functor from this category to the category of coherent families, we show that U(h)-free modules only can exist when g is of type A or C. We then proceed to classify isomorphism…

We investigate the problem when the tensor functor by a bimodule yields a singular equivalence. It turns out that this problem is equivalent to the one when the Hom functor given by the same bimodule induces a triangle equivalence between…

Motivated by a classic result for free groups, one says that a group $G$ has the Magnus property if the following holds: whenever two elements generate the same normal subgroup of $G$, they are conjugate or inverse-conjugate in $G$. It is a…

For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…

We study a 2-functor that assigns to a bimodule category over a finite k-linear tensor category a k-linear abelian category. This 2-functor can be regarded as a category-valued trace for 1-morphisms in the tricategory of finite tensor…

We explore the relationship between polynomial functors and (rooted) trees. In the first part we use polynomial functors to derive a new convenient formalism for trees, and obtain a natural and conceptual construction of the category…

We study modules over a generalized Weyl algebra $R(\sigma,a)$ which are free when restricted to the base ring $R$. When $R$ is an integral domain, we construct all such finite-rank modules up to isomorphism, leading to new simple modules…
