We study the K_0 and K_1-groups of exact and triangulated categories of perfect complexes, and we apply the results to show how determinant functors on triangulated categories can be used for the construction of Euler characteristics in…

We discuss Euler characteristics for finitely generated modules over Iwasawa algebras. We show that the Euler characteristic of a module is well-defined whenever the 0th homology group is finite if and only if the relevant compact p-adic…

We study invariant pseudo-K\"ahler structures on a solvmanifold $G$ such that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is almost abelian, that is $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{h}\rtimes\mathbb{R}$, with $\mathfrak{h}$ abelian; comparing with the…

The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…

We propose a definition of an Euler characteristic for unbounded chain complexes by taking the (usual) Euler characteristics of successively longer parts of the complex, weighted inversely proportional to the length, and passing to the…

We consider the problem of computing the Euler characteristic of an abstract simplicial complex given by its vertices and facets. We show that this problem is #P-complete and present two new practical algorithms for computing Euler…

In this paper, we propose a generalization for the class of laura algebras, which we call almost laura. We show that this new class of algebras retains most of the essential features of laura algebras, especially concerning the important…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional associative $k$-algebra with identity. The primary aim of this paper is to study the rationality properties of the group of all $k$-algebra automorphisms of $A$, as an affine algebraic group over an arbitrary…

For a certain class of abelian categories, we show how to make sense of the "Euler characteristic" of an infinite projective resolution (or, more generally, certain chain complexes that are only bounded above), by passing to a suitable…

Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a morphism of concentrated schemes. We characterize $f$-perfect complexes $\mathcal{E}$ as those such that the functor $\mathcal{E} \otimes^{\mathbf{L}}_X \mathbf{L} f^*-$ preserves bounded complexes. We prove, as…

This paper formulates a group condition which is enjoyed by absolute Galois groups, and which guarantees that profinite groups satisfying the condition can be approximated as an inverse limit of groups which are profinite analogues of…

Given a finite simplicial complex L and a collection of pairs of spaces indexed by its vertex set, one can define their polyhedral product. We record a simple formula for its Euler characteristic. In special cases the formula simplifies…

The note presents a further study of the class of Cuntz--Krieger type algebras. A necessary and sufficient condition is identified that ensures that the algebra is purely infinite, the ideal structure is studied, % and applied to semigraph…

Let $G$ be a non-compact classical semisimple Lie group and let $G/V$ be the adjoint orbit with respect to a fixed element in $G$. These manifolds can be equipped with an almost-K\"ahler structure and we provide explicit formulae for the…

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of the cohomology of a complex algebraic variety coincides with the Euler characteristic of its cohomology with compact support. An old result of G. Laumon asserts that a relative version of…

Let K be a field of positive characteristic p, let R be either a group algebra K[G] or a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), and let I be the augmentation ideal of R. We first characterize those R for which I satisfies a polynomial identity…

Affine difference algebraic groups are a generalization of affine algebraic groups obtained by replacing algebraic equations with algebraic difference equations. We show that the isomorphism theorems from abstract group theory have…

Reciprocality in Kirchberg algebras with finitely generated K-groups is regarded as a K-theoretic duality through K-groups and strong extension groups. We will prove that the reciprocal Kirchberg algebra has a universal property with…
