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…

We study the cohomology of divisors on a Burniat surface $X$ with $K_X^2=6$. We provide an algorithm for computing the cohomology groups of arbitrary divisors on $X$. As an application, we prove that there are no Ulrich line bundles\,(with…

We give a geometrical criterion to determine when a quaternion algebra over the function field of a stable elliptic surface X is an Azumaya algebra over X.

For each natural number n greater than 1, we define an algebra satisfying many properties that one might expect to hold for a Brauer algebra of type Cn. The monomials of this algebra correspond to scalar multiples of symmetric Brauer…

We study moduli spaces and moduli stacks for representations of associative algebras in Azumaya algebras, in rather general settings. We do not impose any stability condition and work over arbitrary ground rings, but restrict attention to…

We investigate the Brauer group of the ring $\mathcal{O}(S)$ of holomorphic functions on a finite-dimensional Stein space S. We provide a purely topological computation of this group and deduce a comparison theorem between the \'etale…

Let A be an Azumaya algebra of constant rank n^2 over a Hensel pair (R,I) where R is a semilocal ring with n invertible in R. Then the reduced Whitehead group SK(A) coincides with its reduction SK(A/IA).

A plane curve C defined by a homogeneous polynomial satisfying Laplace's equation appears canonically as the vanishing of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. As a consequence there is a natural semi-stable rank two…

We study the geometry and topology of (filtered) algebra-bundles ${\bf\Psi}^{\mathbb Z}$ over a smooth manifold $X$ with typical fibre $\Psi^{\mathbb Z}(Z; V)$, the algebra of classical pseudodifferential operators of integral order on the…

We prove that the only non-trivial finite subgroups of birational automorphism group of non-trivial Severi--Brauer surfaces over the field of rational numbers are~$\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ and $(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})^2.$ Moreover, we show…

We study weakly symmetric special biserial algebras of infinite representation type. We show that usually some socle deformation of such an algebra has non-periodic bounded modules. The exceptions are precisely the algebras whose Brauer…

We consider central simple $K$-algebras which happen to bedifferential graded $K$-algebras. Two such algebras $A$ and $B$are considered equivalent if there are bounded complexes of finite dimensional$K$-vector spaces $C_A$ and $C_B$ such…

We discuss algebraic vector bundles on smooth k-schemes X contractible from the standpoint of A^1-homotopy theory; when k = C, the smooth manifolds X(C) are contractible as topological spaces. The integral algebraic K-theory and integral…

We provide explicit generators for the torsion of the second cohomology of bielliptic surfaces, and we use this to study pullback map between Brauer group of a bielliptic surface and that of its canonical cover.

We consider the reduction of Brauer classes on surfaces over number fields, with a view toward applications to rationality and derived equivalence. We show that a Brauer class on a very general polarized K3 surface over a number field…

We classify finite groups acting by birational transformations of a non-trivial Severi--Brauer surface over a field of characteristc zero that are not conjugate to subgroups of the automorphism group. Also, we show that the automorphism…

Motivated by an observation in "Vertices, sources and Green correspondents of the simple modules for the large Mathieu groups", J. of Algebra 322, we determine the source algebra, and therefore all the structure, of the blocks without…

For a prime $p$, we study subgroups of order p of the Brauer group Br(S) of a general complex polarized K3 surface of degree 2d, generalizing earlier work of van Geemen. These groups correspond to sublattices of index p of the…

Given a Cayley-Hamilton smooth order A in a central simple algebra $\Sigma$, we determine the flat locus of the Brauer-Severi fibration of the smooth order. Moreover, we give a classification of all (reduced) central singularities where the…

The generators of the group of birational automorphisms of any Severi-Brauer surface non-isomorphic over an algebraically non-closed field to the projective plane are explicitly described.
