Infinite loop space theory, both additive and multiplicative, arose largely from two basic motivations. One was to solve calculational questions in geometric topology. The other was to better understand algebraic K-theory. The Adams…

James' submodule theorem is a fundamental result in the representation theory of the symmetric groups and the finite general linear groups. In this note we consider a version of that theorem for a general finite group with a split…

Michael Boardman has been a major contributor to the theory of infinite loop spaces and higher homotopy algebra. Indeed Boardman was the first to refer to `homotopy everything'. One particular contribution which has had major progeny is his…

We establish the splitting principle for differential K-theory, a refinement of topological K-theory that incorporates geometric data via differential forms. Using this principle, we prove that the differential $K^0$-ring associated to…

We develop the basic theory of projective modules and splitting in the more general setting of systems. Systems provide a common language for most tropical algebraic approaches including supertropical algebra, hyperrings (specifically…

In this paper, we initiate the study of algebraic K-theory for non-commutative $\Gamma$-semirings, extending the classical constructions of Grothendieck and Bass to this setting. We first establish the categorical foundations by…

In the second half of the 1920s, physicists and mathematicians introduced group theoretic methods into the recently invented ``new'' quantum mechanics. Group representations turned out to be a highly useful tool in spectroscopy and in…

This expository note delves into the theory of projective modules parallel to the one developed for injective modules by Matlis. Given a perfect ring $R$, we present a characterization of indecomposable projective $R$-modules and describe a…

In this expositional paper, we discuss commutative algebra -- a study inspired by the properties of integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. In particular, we investigate rings and ideals, and their various properties. After, we…

We investigate the question of when free structures of infinite rank (in a variety) possess model-theoretic properties like categoricity in higher power, saturation, or universality. Concentrating on left $R$-modules we show, among other…

Following the structure theory approach for rings, the aim of this paper is to study some distinguished classes of Lie algebras. We introduce the notion of a Lie-module and discuss some relations of it with various classes of ideals of a…

Motivated by the Quantum Modularity Conjecture and its arithmetic aspects related to the Habiro ring of a number field, we define a map from the Kauffman bracket skein module of an integer homology 3-sphere to the Habiro ring, and use…

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The concept of second submodule of an R-module (as a dual notion of prime submodules) was introduced and studied by S.Yassemi in 2001. This notion has obtained a great attention by many authors and…

The Higman-Neumann-Neumann (HNN) paper of 1949 is a landmark of group theory in the twentieth century. The proof of its main theorem covers less than a page and uses only pre-existing technology, but the construction that it introduced --…

We give a new construction of the algebraic $K$-theory of small permutative categories that preserves multiplicative structure, and therefore allows us to give a unified treatment of rings, modules, and algebras in both the input and…

The Module Cancellation Problem solicits hypotheses that, when imposed on modules $K$, $L$, and $M$ over a ring $S$, afford the implication $K\oplus L\cong K\oplus M\Longrightarrow L\cong M$. In a well-known paper on basic element theory…
