We construct quantizations of multiplicative hypertoric varieties using an algebra of q-difference operators on affine space, where q is a root of unity in C. The quantization defines a matrix bundle (i.e. Azumaya algebra) over the…

We show a case of Zilber's Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, establishing that the conjecture holds for varieties which split as the product of a linear subspace of the additive group $\mathbb{C}^n$ and an algebraic subvariety of…

D-branes on orbifolds with and without discrete torsion are analysed in a unified way using the boundary state formalism. For the example of the Z2 x Z2 orbifold it is found that both the theory with and without discrete torsion possess…

In this note we prove that the spec(C)-points of the representation Artin-stack [rep_n R/PGL_n] of n-dimensional representations of an affine algebra R correspond to algebra morphisms R-->A where A is an Azumaya algebra of degree n over C.…

Let $A$ be a $k$-algebra where $k$ is an algebraically closed field and $G$ be a finite abelian group for which the characteristic of $k$ does not divide $|G|$. If $G$ acts on $A$ by $k$-algebra automorphisms then the action induces a…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety in a field of characteristic $0$. We prove that the expansion of $A$ by a generic divisible subgroup of $A$ with the same torsion exists provided $A$ has few algebraic endomorphisms, namely…

We show that for complex analytic K3 surfaces any torsion class in H^2(X,O_X^*) comes from an Azumaya algebra. In other words, the Brauer group equals the cohomological Brauer group. For algebraic surfaces, such results go back to…

Throughout this paper $A$ is a commutative non-associative algebra over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic not $2.$ In addition $A$ posses a Frobenius form. We obtain detailed information about the multiplication in $A$ given two axes…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional algebra (possibly with some extra structure) over an infinite field $K$ and let $r\in\mathbb{N}$. The $r$-tuples $(a_1,\dots,a_r)\in A^r$ which fail to generate $A$ are the $K$-points of a closed subvariety…

The sliced skein algebra of a closed surface of genus $g$ with $m$ punctures, $\mathfrak{S}=\Sigma_{g,m}$, is the quotient of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra $\mathcal{S}_\xi(\mathfrak{S})$ corresponding to fixing the scalar values of…

We develop Azumaya geometry, which is an extension of classical affine geometry to the world of Azumaya algebras, and package the information contained in all quotient stacks $[\mathrm{rep}_n R\,/\,\mathrm{PGL}_n]$ into a presheaf…

Affine varieties among all algebraic varieties have simple structures. For example, an affine variety does not contain any complete algebraic curve. In this paper we study affine related properties of strata of $k$-differentials on smooth…

In this paper we continue our investigation of signatures of hermitian forms over Azumaya algebras with involution over commutative rings. We show that the approach used in an earlier paper for central simple algebras can be extended to…

We introduce the concept of pseudotwistor (with particular cases called twistor and braided twistor) for an algebra $(A, \mu, u)$ in a monoidal category, as a morphism $T:A\otimes A\to A\otimes A$ satisfying a list of axioms ensuring that…

We show that there exist flat surface bundles with closed leaves having non-trivial normal bundles. This leads us to compute the Abelianisation of surface diffeomorphism groups with marked points. We also extend a formula of Tsuboi that…

We offer an axiomatic definition of a differential algebra of generalized functions over an algebraically closed non-Archimedean field. This algebra is of {\em Colombeau type} in the sense that it contains a copy of the space of Schwartz…

Let T be a torus (not assumed to be split) over a field F, and denote by $_n{H^{2}_{et}(X,Gm)}$ the subgroup of elements of exponent dividing n in the cohomological Brauer group of a scheme X over the field F. We provide conditions on X and…

We explore two constructions in homotopy category with algebraic precursors in the theory of noncommutative rings and homological algebra, namely the Hochschild cohomology of ring spectra and Morita theory. The present paper provides an…

We show that an algebraic 2-Calabi-Yau triangulated category over an algebraically closed field is a cluster category if it contains a cluster tilting subcategory whose quiver has no oriented cycles. We prove a similar characterization for…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An Azumaya coring consists of a couple $(S,\Cc)$, with $S$ a faithfully flat commutative $R$-algebra, and an $S$-coring $\Cc$ satisfying certain properties. If $S$ is faithfully projective, then the dual of…
