An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…

We prove an adelic descent result for localizing invariants: for each Noetherian scheme $X$ of finite Krull dimension and any localizing invariant $E$, e.g., algebraic K-theory of Bass-Thomason, there is an equivalence $E(X)\simeq \lim…

Let $R$ denote a Noetherian ring and an ideal $J \subset R$ with $U = \operatorname{Spec R} \setminus V(J)$. For an $R$-module $M$ there is an isomorphism $\Gamma(U, \tilde{M}) \cong \varinjlim \operatorname{Hom}_R(J^n,M)$ known as…

We construct the Cartier duality equivalence for affine commutative group schemes $G$ whose coordinate ring is a flat Mittag-Leffler module over an arbitrary base ring $R$. The dual $G^\vee$ of $G$ turns out to be an ind-finite ind-scheme…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a smooth linear group scheme of finite type. For any positive integer $k$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, let $W_k(\mathbb{F})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length $k$ over $\mathbb{F}$. We show that the group…

We prove a case of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture: let $R$ be a Noetherian semilocal flat algebra over a Dedekind domain such that all fibers of $R$ are geometrically regular; let $G$ be a simply-connected reductive $R$-group scheme…

We calculate the R(G)-algebra structure on the reduced equivariant K-groups of two-dimensional spheres on which a compact Lie group G acts as involutions. In particular, the reduced equivariant K-groups are trivial if G is abelian, which…

We prove that the quantum moduli algebra associated to a possibly punctured compact oriented surface and a complex semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a Noetherian and finitely generated ring. If the surface has punctures, we prove…

Let G be an affine algebraic group and let X be an affine algebraic variety. An action $G\times X \to X$ is called observable if for any G-invariant, proper, closed subset Y of X there is a nonzero invariant $f\in K[X]^G$ such that f(Y) =0.…

We show that the convolution algebra $K^G(\mathcal{B} \times \mathcal{B})$ is isomorphic to the Based ring of the lowest two-sided cell of the extended affine Weyl group associated to $G$, where $G$ is a connected reductive algebraic group…

We prove the Farrell-Jones Isomorphism Conjecture about the algebraic K-theory of a group ring RG in the case where the group G is the fundamental group of a closed Riemannian manifold with strictly negative sectional curvature. The…

Let f: A\to B be a ring homomorphism between Noetherian normal integral domains. We establish a general criterion for f to induce a homomorphism Cl(f): Cl(A)\to Cl(B) on divisor class groups. For instance, this criterion applies whenever f…

We give several related versions of global Grothendieck Duality for unbounded complexes on noetherian formal schemes. The proofs, based on a non-trivial adaptation of Deligne's method for the special case of ordinary schemes, are reasonably…

Consider a finite group $G$ acting on a graded Noetherian $k$-algebra $S$, for some field $k$ of characteristic $p$; for example $S$ might be a polynomial ring. Regard $S$ as a $kG$-module and consider the multiplicity of a particular…

When $G$ is a complex reductive algebraic group and $G/K$ is a reductive symmetric space, the decomposition of $\C[G/K]$ as a $K$-module was obtained (in a non-constructive way) by Richardson, generalizing the celebrated result of…

This work concerns the Koszul complex $K$ of a commutative noetherian local ring $R$, with its natural structure as differential graded $R$-algebra. It is proved that under diverse conditions, involving the multiplicative structure of…

We give an affirmative answer to a 1976 question of M. Rosen: every abelian group is isomorphic to the class group of an elliptic Dedekind domain R. We can choose R to be the integral closure of a PID in a separable quadratic field…

The main theorem in this paper is that the base change functor from an abelian category $\cA$ to its polynomial category in the sense of Schlichting $-\otimes_{\cA}\bbZ[t]:\cA \to \cA[t]$ induces an isomorphism on their $K$-theories if…

We study amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and apply it to algebras associated with finitely generated groups. We show that a group G is amenable if and only if its group…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0. Let $Y=G/H$ be a spherical homogeneous space of $G$, and let $Y'$ be a spherical embedding of $Y$. Let $k_0$ be a subfield of $k$. Let $G_0$…
