We investigate a strong version of the integral Tate conjecture for 1-cycles on the product of a curve and a surface over a finite field, under the assumption that the surface is geometrically $CH_0$-trivial. By this we mean that over any…

We prove that skew products with the cocycle given by the function $f(x)=a(x-1/2)$ with $a\neq 0$ are ergodic for every ergodic symmetric IET in the base, thus giving the full characterization of ergodic extensions in this family. Moreover,…

This paper shows that $p$ primary components of certain generic crossed products are not crossed products. This applies in particular to primary components of prime degree, thus producing examples of division algebras of prime degree that…

In this article, we consider skew product extensions over symmetric interval exchange transformations with respect to the cocycle $f(x)=\chi_{(0,1/2)}-\chi_{(1/2,1)}$. More precisely, we prove that for almost every interval exchange…

We develop a new criterion to tell if a group $G$ has the maximal gap of $1/2$ in stable commutator length (scl). For amalgamated free products $G = A \star_C B$ we show that every element $g$ in the commutator subgroup of $G$ which does…

We consider ergodic families of Verblunsky coefficients generated by minimal aperiodic subshifts. Simon conjectured that the associated probability measures on the unit circle have essential support of zero Lebesgue measure. We prove this…

Suppose $L$ is a semisimple Levi subgroup of a connected Lie group~$G$, $X$ is a Borel $G$-space with finite invariant measure, and $\alpha \colon X \times G \to \GL_n(\real)$ is a Borel cocycle. Assume $L$ has finite center, and that the…

Let $D$ be a non-commutative division ring, $G$ a subnormal subgroup of ${\mathrm GL}_n(D)$. In this note we show that if $G$ contains a non-abelian solvable maximal subgroup, then $n=1$ and $D$ is a cyclic algebra of prime degree over $F$.

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $F$ the function field in two algebraically independent variables over a smaller field $F_0$. We prove that if $\operatorname{char}(F_0)=p\geq 3$ then there exist $p^2-1$ cyclic algebras of degree $p$ over $F$…

For k a field of arbitrary characteristic, and R a k-algebra, we show that the PI degree of an iterated skew polynomial ring R[x_1;\tau_1,\delta_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n,\delta_n] agrees with the PI degree of R[x_1;\tau_1]...b[x_n;\tau_n] when…

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…

We continue our study of the local theory for quasiperiodic cocycles in $\mathbb{T} ^{d} \times G$, where $G=SU(2)$, over a rotation satisfying a Diophantine condition and satisfying a closeness-to-constants condition, by proving a…

For a rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ on the circle and a BV function $\varphi$, we study the variance of the ergodic sums $S_L \varphi(x) := \sum_{j=0}^{L -1} \, \varphi(x + j\alpha)$. When $\alpha$ is not of constant type, we construct…

Let k be a field with char(k) not 2 or 3. Let C_f be the projective curve of a binary cubic form f, and k(C_f) the function field of C_f. In this paper we explicitly describe the relative Brauer group Br(k(C_f)/k) of k(C_f) over k. When f…

This short note studies $C^{\infty}$-smooth cocycles in $\mathbb{T}\times SO(3)$ that have $0$ degree and are non-homotopic to constants. The study picks up from where the author's PhD thesis left the subject, and shows that, under a…

Let $K$ be a complete discretely valued field of rank one, with residue field $\Q_p$. It is well known that period equals index in $\Br(K)$. We prove that when $p=2$ there exist noncyclic $K$-division algebras of every $2$-power degree…

We study the generalize Fisher metric on SO(2) and SO(3) via the thermodynamics Lie group theories of Souriau. Then we give the effect of 2-cocycle on the integrability of gradient systems due to the Fisher metric and Souriau-Fisher metric.…

For the family Delta_q, q in [0,1), of the SU_q(2)-comultiplications on the C*-algebra A\cong C(SU_q(2)), we show that there exist unitary operators Omega_q such that Delta_q(x)=Omega_q Delta_0(x) (Omega_q)* for x in A.

In this paper we show that to a unital associative algebra object (resp. co-unital co-associative co-algebra object) of any abelian monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ endowed with a symmetric $2$-trace, one can attach a cyclic (resp. cocyclic)…

Given $\alpha$ in some set $\Sigma$ of total (Haar) measure in ${\bf T}={\bf R}/{\bf Z}$, and $A\in C^{\infty}({\bf T},SL(2,{\bf R}))$ which is homotopic to the identity, we prove that if the fibered rotation number of the skew-product…
