Ulm's Theorem presents invariants that classify countable abelian torsion groups up to isomorphism. Barwise and Eklof extended this result to the classification of arbitrary abelian torsion groups up to $L_{\infty \omega}$-equivalence. In…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

We describe the structure of the Grothendieck ring of projective modules of basic Hopf algebras using a positive integer determined by the composition series of the principal indecomposable projective module.

A finite abelian $p$-group having an automorphism $x$ such that $1+\ldots+x^{p-1}=0$, can be viewed as a module over an appropriate discrete valuation ring $\mathcal{O}$ containing $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (the ring of $p$-adic integer). This yields…

For a prime number p, we construct a generating set for the ring of invariants for the p+1 dimensional indecomposable modular representation of a cyclic group of order p^2. We then use the constructed invariants to describe the…

In this paper we expand on previous results, studying the extent to which one can detect fusion in certain finite groups $\Gamma$, from information about the universal deformation rings of absolutely irreducible…

We study rings of integral modular forms for congruence subgroups as modules over the ring of integral modular forms for the full modular group. In many cases these modules are free or decompose at least into well-understood pieces. We…

The dissertation focuses on decomposing a group algebra $kG$ over a field of positive characteristic into a direct sum of projective indecomposable modules. Such a decomposition is obtained together with the Artin--Wedderburn Theorem. The…

What are all rings $R$ for which $R^*$ (the group of invertible elements of $R$ under multiplication) is an elementary abelian $p$-group? We answer this question for finite-dimensional commutative $k$-algebras, finite commutative rings,…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

For a finite $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra $R$, i.e., for a ring which is not necessarily associative or unitary, but whose additive group is finitely generated, we construct a decomposition of $R/{\rm Ann}(R)$ into directly indecomposable factors…

The abelian sandpile models feature a finite abelian group $G$ generated by the operators corresponding to particle addition at various sites. We study the canonical decomposition of $G$ as a product of cyclic groups $G = Z_{d_1} \times…

A famous result due to L. S. Levy provides a classification of all finitely generated indecomposable modules over Dedekind-like rings. This motivates us to outline an approach to the classification of indecomposable pseudo-absorbing primary…

Gr\"obner bases are a fundamental tool when studying ideals in multivariate polynomial rings. More recently there has been a growing interest in transferring techniques from the field case to other coefficient rings, most notably Euclidean…

For modular indecomposable representations of a cyclic group $G$ of prime order $p$ we propose a list of polynomial invariants of degree $\leq 3$ that, together with a simple invariant of degree $p$, separate generic orbits and generate the…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group $G$ with $N$ elements. In this paper we give a O(N) time algorithm for computing a basis of $G$. Furthermore, we obtain an algorithm for computing a basis from a generating system of $G$ with $M$ elements…

Let T(x) in k[x] be a monic non-constant polynomial and write R=k[x] / (T) the quotient ring. Consider two bivariate polynomials a(x, y), b(x, y) in R[y]. In a first part, T = p^e is assumed to be the power of an irreducible polynomial p. A…

For any prime p, we construct, and simultaneously count, all of the complex Specht modules in a given p-block of the symmetric group which remain irreducible when reduced modulo p. We call the Specht modules with this property p-irreducible…

We develop the theory of Gr\"obner bases for ideals in a polynomial ring with countably infinite variables over a field. As an application we reconstruct some of the one-one correspondences among various sets of partitions by using division…

Let $I_1\subset I_2\subset\dots$ be an increasing sequence of ideals of the ring $\Bbb Z[X]$, $X=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ and let $I$ be their union. We propose an algorithm to compute the Gr\"obner base of $I$ under the assumption that the…
