B-fields over a groupoid with involution are defined as Real graded Dixmier-Douady bundles. We use these to introduce the Real graded Brauer group which constitutes the set of twistings for Atiyah's KR-functor in the category of locally…

The Brauer relations of a finite group $G$ are virtual differences of non-isomorphic $G$-sets $X-Y$ which induce isomorphic permutation $G$-representations $\mathbb Q[X]\simeq\mathbb Q[Y]$ over the rationals. These relations have been…

We prove a number of basic vanishing results for modified diagonal classes. We also obtain some sharp results for modified diagonals of curves and abelian varieties, and we prove a conjecture of O'Grady about modified diagonals on double…

We relate the Brauer group of a Kummer surface to the Brauer group of the corresponding abelian surface. For many pairs of elliptic curves over the rational numbers we prove that the Kummer surface attached to their product has trivial…

The Temperley-Lieb and Brauer algebras and their cyclotomic analogues, as well as the partition algebra, are all examples of twisted semigroup algebras. We prove a general theorem about the cellularity of twisted semigroup algebras of…

We consider a class of quasi-Hopf algebras which we call \emph{generalized twisted quantum doubles}. They are abelian extensions $H = \mb{C}[\bar{G}] \bowtie \mb{C}[G]$ ($G$ is a finite group and $\bar{G}$ a homomorphic image), possibly…

We close a gap in the explicit determination of the generalized Springer correspondence for a connected reductive group in good characteristic.

In the present paper we propose some generalization of the topological Brauer group that includes higher homotopical information and contains the classical one as a direct summand. Our approach is based on some kind of bundle-like objects…

We define a group $RBr(\mathcal{G})$ containing, in a sense, the graded complex and orthogonal Brauer groups of a locally compact groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ equipped with an involution. When the involution is trivial, we show that the new group…

Answering a question of P\'alfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-Problem: Let G be a finite group and A\le Aut(G) such that (|G|,|A|)=1. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product GA is at…

Let B be the generalized braid group associated to some finite complex reflection group. We define a representation of B of dimension the number of reflections of the corresponding reflection group, which generalizes the Krammer…

We study the question of whether the Brauer group is isomorphic to the cohomological one in spectral algebraic geometry. For this, we prove the compact generation of the derived category of twisted sheaves for quasi-compact spectral…

We establish a $q$-analog of our recent work on vertex representations and the McKay correspondence. For each finite group $\Gamma$ we construct a Fock space and associated vertex operators in terms of wreath products of $\Gamma\times…

Counterfactual explanations utilize feature perturbations to analyze the outcome of an original decision and recommend an actionable recourse. We argue that it is beneficial to provide several alternative explanations rather than a single…

We construct stability conditions on crepant resolutions of certain quotients of product varieties, giving as a special case the first examples of stability conditions on strict Calabi-Yau varieties of arbitrary dimension. Along the way, we…

For a smooth and projective variety X over a field k of characteristic zero we prove the finiteness of the cokernel of the natural map from the Brauer group of X to the Galois-invariant subgroup of the Brauer group of the same variety over…

In this paper we consider the inductive Alperin--McKay condition for isolated blocks of groups of Lie type $B$ and $C$. This finishes the verification of the inductive condition for groups of this type.

In this note we prove that the crepant transformation conjecture for a crepant birational transformation of Lawrence toric DM stacks studied in \cite{CIJ} implies the monodromy conjecture for the associated wall crossing of the symplectic…

We show that Brauer's height zero conjecture holds for blocks of finite quasi-simple groups. This result is used in Navarro-Sp\"ath's reduction of this conjecture for general groups to the inductive Alperin-McKay condition for simple…

In this work, we introduce a new class of algebras called skew-Brauer graph algebras, which generalize the well-known Brauer graph algebras. We establish that skew-Brauer graph algebras are symmetric and can be defined using a Brauer graph…
