On a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold (M,g), some fields of endomorphisms i.e. sections of End(TM) may be parallel for g. They form an associative algebra A, which is also the commutant of the holonomy group of g. As any associative algebra, A…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2$, let ${\mathfrak g}=\Lie(G)$, let $\theta$ be an involutive automorphism of $G$ and let ${\mathfrak g}={\mathfrak k}\oplus{\mathfrak p}$ be the associated symmetric…

The authors establish a connection between the Quillen K-theory of certain local fields and the de Rham-Witt complex of their rings of integers with logarithmic poles at the maximal ideal. They consider fields K that are complete discrete…

Let $K$ be a field and let $A$ be a finitely generated prime $K$-algebra. We generalize a result of Smith and Zhang, showing that if $A$ is not PI and does not have a locally nilpotent ideal, then the extended centre of $A$ has…

Bivariant (equivariant) K-theory is the standard setting for non-commutative topology. We may carry over various techniques from homotopy theory and homological algebra to this setting. Here we do this for some basic notions from…

We introduce a concept of approximately invertible elements in non-unital normed algebras which is, on one side, a natural generalization of invertibility when having approximate identities at hand, and, on the other side, it is a direct…

In 1988, S. V. Okhitin proved that for any field k of characteristic zero, the T-space CP(M_2(k)) is finitely based, and he raised the question as to whether CP(A) is finitely based for every (unitary) associative algebra A with nonzero…

Let l be a commutative ring with unit. Garkusha constructed a functor from the category of l-algebras into a triangulated category D, that is a universal excisive and homotopy invariant homology theory. Later on, he provided different…

We show that for a commuting n-tuple of hermitian operators, with perfect spectrum, the essential centre of the algebra of operators commuting with the n-tuple mod a diagonalization ideal arises from the C*-algebra of the n-tuple. This…

We study the Yangian $Y_n$ associated to the general linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ over a field of positive characteristic, as well as its shifted analog $Y_n(\sigma)$. Our main result gives a description of the centre of…

A differential algebra of finite type over a field k is a filtered algebra A, such that the associated graded algebra is finite over its center, and the center is a finitely generated k-algebra. The prototypical example is the algebra of…

In this article we consider the centre of the reduced enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group in very good characteristic p > 2. The Harish-Chandra centre maps to the centre of each reduced enveloping algebra…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $k$ of degree $d$ that admits a $k$-rational isogeny of prime degree $p$. We study the question of finding a uniform bound on $p$ that depends only on $d$, and obtain, under a certain…

Let $K$ be a field and $D$ be a finite-dimensional central division algebra over $K$. We prove a variant of the Nullstellensatz for $2$-sided ideals in the ring of polynomial maps $D^n \to D$. In the case where $D = K$ is commutative, our…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We consider graded subalgebras A of k[x_1,...,x_m]/(x_1^2,...,x_m^2) generated by d linearly independant linear forms. Representations of matroids over k provide a natural description of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete amenable group, and let $A=l^\infty(\Gamma) \rtimes \Gamma$ or $A = \mathrm{C}(M) \rtimes \Gamma$, where $(M, \Gamma)$ is the universal minimal set of $\Gamma$. It is shown that if $a, b \in A \otimes…

We prove that the nilpotent commuting variety of a reductive Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic is equidimensional. In characteristic zero, this confirms a conjecture of Vladimir Baranovsky. As a…

We provide a universal characterization of the construction taking a scheme $X$ to its stable $\infty$-category $\text{Mot}(X)$ of noncommutative motives, patterned after the universal characterization of algebraic K-theory due to…

Let $k$ be \emph{any} algebraically closed field in any characteristic, let $R$ be any regular local ring such that $R$ contains $k$ as a subring, the residue field of $R$ is isomorphic to $k$ as $k$-algebras and $\dim R\geq 1$, let $P$ be…

It is proved that, for each pair (m,n) of non-negative integers, there is a Banach space X for which the group K_0(B(X)) is isomorphic to m copies of the integers and the group K_1(B(X)) is isomorphic to n copies of the integers. Along the…
