For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = End_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can…

We classify real or complex finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras and their underlying fields from the properties of Birkhoff-James orthogonality. Application to strong Birkhoff-James orthogonality preservers is also given.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

We examine situations, where representations of a finite-dimensional $F$-algebra $A$ defined over a separable extension field $K/F$, have a unique minimal field of definition. Here the base field $F$ is assumed to be a $C_1$-field. In…

We discuss a cohomological construction of representations of a reductive group over the ring of power series over a finite field modulo the r-th power of the maximal ideal. The case r=1 goes back to Deligne and the author. The case where r…

With this paper we hope to contribute to the theory of quantales and quantale-like structures. It considers the notion of $Q$-sup-algebra and shows a representation theorem for such structures generalizing the well-known representation…

We propose a new method for studying $n$- and $\Gamma$-cohomology of globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules, where $G=KAN$ is a rank one semisimple Lie group, $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$ and $n=Lie(N)$. We prove a conjecture of…

For any discrete group $\Gamma$ and any 2-dimensional complex representation $\rho$ of $\Gamma$, we introduce the notion of $\rho-$equivariant functions, and we show that they are parameterized by vector-valued modular forms. We also…

Let $G$ be a countable group. We introduce several equivalence relations on the set ${\rm Sub}(G)$ of subgroups of $G$, defined by properties of the quasi-regular representations $\lambda_{G/H}$ associated to $H\in {\rm Sub}(G)$ and compare…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be the quantum automorphism group of a finite dimensional C*-algebra $(B,\psi)$ and $\Gamma$ a discrete group. We want to compute the fusion rules of $\widehat{\Gamma}\wr_* \mathbb{G}$. First of all, we will revise the…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

We derive a formula connecting the orders of the automorphism groups of a finite group and of its covering groups.

Let $X$ be a nonempty real variety that is invariant under the action of a reflection group $G$. We conjecture that if $X$ is defined in terms of the first $k$ basic invariants of $G$ (ordered by degree), then $X$ meets a $k$-dimensional…

In this article, we classify disconnected reductive groups over an algebraically closed field with a few caveats. Internal parts of our result are both a classification of finite groups and a classification of integral representations of a…

Let p be an odd prime number. In this paper, we show that the genome $\Gamma(P)$ of a finite $p$-group $P$, defined as the direct product of the genotypes of all rational irreducible representations of $P$, can be recovered from the first…

We consider a special category of Hopf algebras, depending on parameters $\Sigma$ which possess properties similar to the category of representations of simple Lie group with highest weight $\lambda$. We connect quantum groups to minimal…

K-Theory for hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, as developed recently by the authors, allows to put Cartan's classification into a homological perspective. We apply this method to the case of inductive limits of finite…

Let k be a field. A finite dimensional k-algebra is said to be minimal representation-infinite provided it is representation-infinite and all its proper factor algebras are representation-finite. Our aim is to classify the special biserial…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group with finite component group, and let $K<G$ be a maximal compact subgroup. We obtain a quantisation commutes with reduction result for actions by $G$ on manifolds of the form $M = G\times_K N$, where $N$ is…
