Let k be a commutative algebra with the field of the rational numbers included in k and let (E,p,i) be a cleft extension of A. We obtain a new mixed complex, simpler than the canonical one, giving the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of E…

This paper studies cluster algebras locally, by identifying a special class of localizations which are themselves cluster algebras. A `locally acyclic cluster algebra' is a cluster algebra which admits a finite cover (in a geometric sense)…

We study algebras $A,$ over a field of characteristic zero, satisfying $(x^p, x^q, x^r)=0$ for $p, q, r$ in ${1, 2}.$ The existence of a unit element in such algebras leads to the third power-associativity. If, in addition, $A$ has degree…

We propose an algebraic method for the classification of branched Galois covers of a curve $X$ focused on studying Galois ring extensions of its geometric adele ring $\A_{X}$. As an application, we deal with cyclic covers; namely, we…

We examine conditions under which there exists a non-constant family of Galois branched covers of curves over an algebraically closed field $k$ of fixed degree and fixed ramification locus, under a notion of equivalence derived from…

A category is called {\em split} if for every morphism $s\colon X\to Y$ there exists a morphism $t\colon Y\to X$ such that $s\circ t\circ s = s$. Let $C$ be a finite split category, let $k$ be a field of characteristic 0 and let $\alpha$ be…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

Let A=k+A_1+A_2.... be a connected graded, noetherian k-algebra that is generated in degree one over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose that the graded quotient ring Q(A) has the form Q(A)=k(Y)[t,t^{-1},sigma], where sigma is an…

We show that every irreducible, simply connected curve on a toric affine surface X over the field of complex numbers is an orbit closure of a multiplicative group action on X. It follows that up to the action of the automorphism group…

We exhibit a natural Lie algebra structure on the graded space of cyclic coinvariants of a symplectic vector space.

Consider a field $k$ of characteristic $0$, not necessarily algebraically closed, and a fixed algebraic curve $f=0$ defined by a tame polynomial $f\in k[x,y]$ with only quasi-homogeneous singularities. We prove that the space of holomorphic…

Let k a characteristic zero field. We give a characterization for the finite quiver k-algebras, based on double derivations. More precisely, we prove that if an associative and unitary k-algebra have a family of double derivations…

There are two outstanding questions about division algebras of prime degree $p$. The first is whether they are cyclic, or equivalently crossed products. The second is whether the center, $Z(F,p)$, of the generic division algebra $UD(F,p)$…

The Prym map assigns to each covering of curves a polarized abelian variety. In the case of unramified cyclic covers of curves of genus two, we show that the Prym map is ramified precisely on the locus of bielliptic covers. The key…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2, $g$ a positive integer, $f(x)$ a degree $(2g+1)$ polynomial with coefficients in $K$ and without multiple roots, $C: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$…

It is well known that a finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero is simple exactly when its derivation algebra is simple. In this paper we characterize those Lie algebras of arbitrary dimension over any field that…

Given a variety $Y$ with a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, we consider a degree $n$ cyclic cover $X \to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z \subset Y$. We construct semiorthogonal decompositions of $\mathrm{D^b}(X)$…

Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and C an elliptic curve over K given by a Weierstrass equation. To divide an element of the group C by 2, one must solve a certain quartic equation. We characterise the quartics arising…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth irreducible algebraic curves over $k$, and let $D(X)$ and $D(Y)$ denote respectively the quotient division rings of the ring of differential…

This article describes cubic function fields $L/K$ with prescribed ramification, where $K$ is a rational function field. We give general equations for such extensions, an explicit procedure to obtain a defining equation when the purely…
