Given a positive integer d, the Kaplansky-Lvov conjecture states that the set of values of a multilinear noncommutative polynomial f on the matrix algebra M_d(C) is a vector subspace. In this article the technique of using one-wiggle…

Let X be the Dynkin diagram of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra, and X_0 a subgraph with all vertices of degree 1 or 2. Using the crystal structure on the components of quiver varieties for X, we show that if we expand X by extending X_0,…

Over a field of characteristic zero, it is clear that a polynomial of the form (X-a)^d has a non-trivial common factor with each of its d-1 first derivatives. The converse has been conjectured by Casas-Alvero. Up to now there have only been…

We use a unified method to give an isomorphism between direct sums of cyclotomic affine (and degenerate affine) Hecke algebras and cyclotomic BK-subalgebras which are some KLR-type algebras.

In 2007, Dmytrenko, Lazebnik and Williford posed two related conjectures about polynomials over finite fields. Conjecture~1 is a claim about the uniqueness of certain monomial graphs. Conjecture~2, which implies Conjecture~1, deals with…

This is an overview of results from our experiment of merging two seemingly unrelated disciplines - higher algebraic K-theory of rings and the theory of lattice polytopes. The usual K-theory is the ``theory of a unit simplex''. A conjecture…

We show that if $V$ is a vertex operator algebra such that all the irreducible ordinary $V$-modules are $C_1$-cofinite and all the grading-restricted generalized Verma modules for $V$ are of finite length, then the category of finite length…

We show that a general ordinary Gushel-Mukai(GM) threefold $X$ is reconstructed from the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{K}u(X)$ together with an extra data coming from tautological sub-bundle of Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(2,5)$. We also prove…

We introduce a notion of Milnor square of stable $\infty$-categories and prove a criterion under which algebraic K-theory sends such a square to a cartesian square of spectra. We apply this to prove Milnor excision and proper excision…

We partially prove and partially disprove Oka's conjecture on the fundamental group/Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane sextic. Among other results, we enumerate all irreducible sextics with simple singularities admitting dihedral…

Let D be a division algebra with center F. A maximal subfield of D is defined to be a field K such that CD(K) = K; that is, K is its own centralizer in D. A maximal subfield K is said to be self-invariant if it normalises by itself, i.e.…

We formulate some conjectures about the K-theory of symplectic manifolds and their Fukaya categories, and prove some of them in very special cases.

Any finite dimensional semisimple algebra A over a field K is isomorphic to a direct sum of finite dimensional full matrix rings over suitable division rings. In this paper we will consider the special case where all division rings are…

We prove the semisimplicity conjecture for A-motives over finitely generated fields K. This conjecture states that the rational Tate modules V_p(M) of a semisimple A-motive M are semisimple as representations of the absolute Galois group of…

It is proved, as was conjectured by Eisenbud-Koh-Stillman, that for a finitely generated graded module $M$ over the symmetric algebra $S(V)$, if the Koszul group ${\cal K}_{p,0}(M,V)\ne 0$, then the set of rank 1 relations in $M_0\otimes V$…

We define a transcendence degree for division algebras, by modifying the lower transcendence degree construction of Zhang. We show that this invariant has many of the desirable properties one would expect a noncommutative analogue of the…

Here we propose a way to construct generalized Kostka polynomials. Namely, we construct an equivariant filtration on tensor products of irreducible representations. Further, we discuss properties of the filtration and the adjoint graded…

For a compact set $A \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ and an integer $k\ge 1$, let us denote by $$ A[k] = \left\{a_1+\cdots +a_k: a_1, \ldots, a_k\in A\right\}=\sum_{i=1}^k A$$ the Minkowski sum of $k$ copies of $A$. A theorem of Shapley, Folkmann…

Let $K_{q^n}(a)$ be a Kloosterman sum over the finite field $\F_{q^n}$ of characteristic $p$. In this note so called subfield conjecture is proved in case $p>3$: if $a\ne0$ belongs to the proper subfield $\F_q$ of $\F_{q^n}$, then…

If ${\cal D}$ is a definable category then it may contain no nonzero finitely presented modules but, by a result of Makkai, there is a $\varinjlim$-generating set of strictly ${\cal D}$-atomic modules. These modules share some key…
