Let $V$ be a valuation ring and $K$ be its field of fraction. We show that the canonical map $\Br(V) \to \Br(K)$ is injective.

We compute the cohomology with trivial coefficients of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{m}_0$ and $\mathfrak{m}_2$ of maximal class over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$. In the infinite-dimensional case, we show that the cohomology rings…

Hochschild cohomology governs deformations of algebras, and its graded Lie structure plays a vital role. We study this structure for the Hochschild cohomology of the skew group algebra formed by a finite group acting on an algebra by…

We prove duality theorems for the {\'e}tale cohomology of logarithmic Hodge-Witt sheaves and split tori on smooth curves over a local field of positive characteristic. As an application, we obtain a description of the Brauer group of the…

A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…

We define a group $RBr(\mathcal{G})$ containing, in a sense, the graded complex and orthogonal Brauer groups of a locally compact groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ equipped with an involution. When the involution is trivial, we show that the new group…

Stone's representation theorem asserts a duality between Boolean algebras on the one hand and Stone space, which are compact, Hausdorff, and totally disconnected, on the other. This duality implies a natural isomorphism between the…

The Haar functional on the quantum $SU(2)$ group is the analogue of invariant integration on the group $SU(2)$. If restricted to a subalgebra generated by a self-adjoint element the Haar functional can be expressed as an integral with a…

We show that the cohomological Brauer groups of the moduli stacks of stable genus $g$ curves over the integers and an algebraic closure of the rational numbers vanish for any $g\geq 2$. For the $n$ marked version, we show the same vanishing…

We construct the full and reduced C*-algebras of an ample groupoid from its complex Steinberg algebra. We also show that our construction gives the same C*-algebras as the standard constructions. In the last section, we consider an…

If G is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic G-sets X, Y may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations C[X] and C[Y]. Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the representation ring of G has a kernel. Its elements are…

Let D be a finite-dimensional central division algebra over a field K. We define the genus gen(D) of D to be the collection of classes in the Brauer group of K represented by central division K-algebras D' having the same maximal subfields…

We prove a 1966 conjecture of Tate concerning the Artin-Tate pairing on the Brauer group of a surface over a finite field, which is the analogue of the Cassels-Tate pairing. Tate asked if this pairing is always alternating and we find an…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with a maximal torus $T$. Combining Schubert calculus in the flag manifold $G/T$ with the Serre spectral sequence of the fibration $G\rightarrow G/T$, we construct the integral cohomology ring $H^{\ast}(G)$ uniformly…

We investigate the algebra of an ample groupoid, introduced by Steinberg, over a semifield S. In particular, we obtain a complete characterization of congruence-simpleness for Steinberg algebras of second-countable ample groupoids,…

We formulate two-dimensional $N=(2,2)$ supersymmetric conformal field theories in terms of unitary full vertex operator superalgebras and develop their cohomology theory. Cohomology rings, Hodge numbers, and the Witten index of a unitary…

We use twisted sheaves and their moduli spaces to study the Brauer group of a scheme. In particular, we (1) show how twisted methods can be efficiently used to re-prove the basic facts about the Brauer group and cohomological Brauer group…

The differential Brauer monoid of a differential commutative ring R s defined. Its elements are the isomorphism classes of differential Azumaya R algebras with operation from tensor product subject to the relation that two such algebras are…

Building up on work of Epstein, May and Drury, we define and investigate the mod $p$ Steenrod operations on the de Rham cohomology of smooth algebraic stacks over a field of characteristic $p>0$. We then compute the action of the operations…

In this paper we construct an explicit quasi-isomorphism to study the cyclic cohomology of a deformation quantization over a riemannian \'etale groupoid. Such a quasi-isomorphism allows us to propose a general algebraic index problem for…
