We give a new explicit construction for the simplicial group $K(A,n)$. We explain the topological interpretation and discuss some possible applications.

We prove that a Hausdorff locally compact semitopological bicyclic semigroup with adjoined zero $\mathscr{C}^0$ is either compact or discrete. Also we show that the similar statement holds for a locally compact semitopological bicyclic…

We prove that there is a one-one correspondence between sets of irreducible representations of a polyadic group and its Post's cover. Using this correspondence, we generalize some well-known properties of irreducible characters in finite…

Let $V$ be a rational, selfdual, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra of CFT type, and $G$ a finite automorphism group of $V.$ It is proved that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on twisted conformal blocks associated…

In this note, we disprove two Romanov type conjectures posed by Chen.

We revisit the linearization theorems for proper Lie groupoids around general orbits (statements and proofs). In the the fixed point case (known as Zung's theorem) we give a shorter and more geometric proof, based on a Moser deformation…

We introduce the notions of proto-complete, complete, complete* and strong-complete objects in pointed categories. We show under mild conditions on a pointed exact protomodular category that every proto-complete (respectively complete)…

We combine the language of monoids with the language of preorders so as to refine some fundamental aspects of the classical theory of factorization and prove an abstract factorization theorem with a variety of applications. In particular,…

Given a non-associative unital ring $R$, a monoid $G$ and a set $\pi$ of additive maps $R \rightarrow R$, we introduce the Ore monoid ring $R[\pi ; G]$, and, in a special case, the differential monoid ring. We show that these structures…

We give a new, geometric proof of the section conjecture for fixed points of finite group actions on projective curves of positive genus defined over the field of complex numbers, as well as its natural nilpotent analogue. As a part of our…

We present a short proof of Reisner's Theorem, characterizing which simplicial complexes have a Cohen-Macaulay face ring. In some cases, we can also express some homological invariants of the face ring in terms of the reduced homology of…

We discuss several counterexamples to a rigidity conjecture of K. Khanin, which states that under some quantitative condition on non-existence of periodic orbits, $C^0$ conjugacy implies $C^1$ (even $C^\infty$) conjugacy. We construct…

We disprove a conjecture of Kuznetsov--Shinder, which posits that $D$-equivalent simply connected varieties are $L$-equivalent, by constructing a counterexample using moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surfaces.

We study the maximal subgroups (also known as group $\mathcal{H}$-classes) of finitely presented special inverse monoids. We show that the maximal subgroups which can arise in such monoids are exactly the recursively presented groups, and…

We prove that any quasigroup admissing complete or quasicomplete mapping has a prolongation to a quasigroup having one element more.

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

In this paper we define a monoid of pseudo braids and prove that this monoid is isomorphic to a singular braid monoid. We also prove an analogue of Markov's theorem for pseudo braids.

Justin Moore's weak club-guessing principle $\mho$ admits various possible generalizations to the second uncountable cardinal. One of them was shown to hold in ZFC by Shelah. A stronger one was shown to follow from several consequences of…

We give a new proof of a_4\phi_3 summation due to G.E. Andrews and confirm another_4\phi_3 summation conjectured by him recently. Some variations of these two_4\phi_3 summations are also given.

We propose a new refinement of the McKay conjecture and we prove it for symmetric groups.
