We prove that the category of boolean inverse monoids is dually equivalent to the category of boolean groupoids. This generalizes the classical Stone duality between boolean algebras and boolean spaces. As an instance of this duality, we…
We give a simple proof of a recent result by J. Schleischitz dealing with a counterexample to the uniform Littlewood conjecture. Our construction is based on simple properties of Fibonacci numbers.
We give a counterexample to a recently conjectured variant of the Penrose inequality.
We provide counter-examples to Mulmuley's strong saturation conjecture (strong SH) for the Kronecker coefficients. This conjecture was proposed in the setting of Geometric Complexity Theory to show that deciding whether or not a Kronecker…
We study the Moore complex of a simplicial cocommutative Hopf algebra through Hopf kernels. The most striking result to emerge from this construction is the coherent definition of 2-crossed modules of cocommutative Hopf algebras. This…
We prove the Morrison--Kawamata cone conjecture for projective primitive symplectic varieties with $\Q$-factorial and terminal singularities with $b_2\geq 5$, from which we derive for instance the finiteness of minimal models of such…
We propose a projective version of the celebrated Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture on characters of finite groups and prove it, among other cases, for $p$-solvable groups as well as for (some) quasi-simple groups.
Provides a counterexample to a long standing conjecture of A. Adem regarding the behaviour of the integral cohomology of a p-group.
We show that on an infinite set, there exist no other precomplete clones closed under conjugation except those which contain all permutations. Since on base sets of some infinite cardinalities, in particular on countably infinite ones, the…
We prove Cherlin's conjecture, concerning binary primitive permutation groups, for those groups with socle isomorphic to a sporadic simple group.
A conjecture of Moore claims that if G is a group and H a finite index subgroup of G such that G - H has no elements of prime order (e.g. G is torsion free), then a G-module which is projective over H is projective over G. The conjecture is…
In this note we construct a class of counterexamples to the "composition conjecture" concerning an infinitesimal version of the center problem for the polynomial Abel equation in the complex domain.
We give counterexamples to a version of the simple loop conjecture in which the target group is PSL(2,C). These examples answer a question of Minsky in the negative.
Let R be any ring (with 1), \Gamma a group and R\Gamma the corresponding group ring. Let H be a subgroup of \Gamma of finite index. Let M be an R\Gamma -module, whose restriction to RH is projective. Moore's conjecture: Assume for every…
We describe the structure of finite Boolean inverse monoids and apply our results to the representation theory of finite inverse semigroups. We then generalize to semisimple Boolean inverse semigroups.
A counterexample is given to the uniqueness result given in the paper by J.Cox and K.Thompson, "Note on the uniqueness of the solution of an equation of interest in inverse scattering problem", J. Math.Phys., 11, N3, (1970), 815-817.
In this note, we exhibit a method to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture (with coefficients) for extensions with finite quotients of certain groups which already satisfy the Baum-Connes conjecture. Interesting examples to which this method…
In this note, we give an explicit counterexample to the simple loop conjecture for representations of surface groups into PSL(2,R). Specifically, we show that for any surface with negative Euler characteristic and genus at least 1, there…
We prove simplicity for incomplete rank 2 Kac-Moody groups over algebraic closures of finite fields with trivial commutation relations between root groups corresponding to prenilpotent pairs. We don't use the (yet unknown) simplicity of the…
This is the last part of a series of three strongly related papers in which three equivalent structures are studied: - internal categories in categories of monoids; defined in terms of pullbacks relative to a chosen class of spans - crossed…
