Let $(K,\mathcal O,k)$ be a $p$-modular system and assume $k$ is algebraically closed. We show that if $\Lambda$ is an $\mathcal O$-order in a separable $K$-algebra, then $\textrm{Pic}_{\mathcal O}(\Lambda)$ carries the structure of an…

The classical Mordell-Weil theorem implies that an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$ has only finitely many $K$-rational torsion points. This finitude of torsion still holds even over the cyclotomic extension $K^{\rm…

It is shown that any finite-dimensional homomorphic image of an inverse limit of nilpotent not-necessarily-associative algebras over a field is nilpotent. More generally, this is true of algebras over a general commutative ring k, with…

The Torelli group $\mathcal T(X)$ of a closed smooth manifold $X$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\pi_0(\mathrm{Diff}^+(X))$ consisting of elements which act trivially on the integral cohomology of $X$. In this note we give…

Let G be an algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. We give a simple proof of the following result: if H^1(L, G) = {1} for some finitely generated field extension L/k of transcendence degree \ge…

As a sequel to our proof of the analog of Serre's conjecture for function fields in Part I of this work, we study in this paper the deformation rings of $n$-dimensional mod $\ell$ representations $\rho$ of the arithmetic fundamental group…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a closed connected subgroup. Assume that the order of any torsion element in the integral cohomology of $G$ and $K$ is invertible in a given principal ideal domain $k$. It is known that in…

In [2], an exhaustive construction is achieved for the class of all 4-dimensional unital division algebras over finite fields of odd order, whose left nucleus is not minimal and whose automorphism group contains Klein's four-group. We…

Let $A$ be a coherent algebra and $B$ be a finite-dimensional Gorenstein algebra over a field $k$. We describe finitely presented Gorenstein projective $A\otimes_k B$-modules in terms of their underlying onesided modules. Moreover, if the…

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

Let A be an abelian variety of dimension g defined over a number field K. We study the size of the torsion group A(F)_{tors} where F/K is a finite extension and more precisely we study the possible exponent \gamma in the inequality…

In this paper we prove that a deformed tensor product of two Lefschetz algebras is a Lefschetz algebra. We then use this result in conjunction with some basic Schubert calculus to prove that the coinvariant ring of a finite reflection has…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

We study surjective homomorphisms f:\prod_I A_i\to B of not-necessarily-associative algebras over a commutative ring k, for I a generally infinite set; especially when k is a field and B is countable-dimensional over k. Our results have the…

Let k be a field, let R be a ring of polynomials in a finite number of variables over k, let D be the ring of k-linear differential operators of R and let f be a non-zero element of R. It is well-known that R_f, with its natural D-module…

Let $\A$ be a $\k$-algebra where $\k$ a field of arbitrary characteristic, and let $\mathscr{A}_\k$ be a full subcategory of $\A$-Mod, the abelian category of left $\A$-modules.Following M. Kleiner and I. Reiten, $\mathscr{A}_\k$ is {\it…

Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Let $End(V)$ denote the $K$-algebra consisting of all $K$-linear transformations from $V$ to $V$. We consider a pair $A,A^* \in End(V)$ that…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…

Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these…

We prove the finiteness of the genus of finite-dimensional division algebras over many infinitely generated fields. More precisely, let $K$ be a finite field extension of a field which is a purely transcendental extension of infinite…
