We study equations over boolean algebras with distinguished elements. We prove the criteria, when a boolean algebra is equationally Noetherian, weakly equationally Noetherian, $\mathbf{q}_\omega$-compact or $\mathbf{u}_\omega$-compact. Also…

We construct examples of complex algebraic surfaces not admitting normal embeddings (in the sense of semialgebraic or subanalytic sets) with image a complex algebraic surface.

In this expository article, we give a self-contained introduction to the wonderfully well-behaved class of pseudocompact algebras, focusing on the foundational classes of semisimple and separable algebras. We give characterizations of such…

We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…

In the case of finite groups, a separating algebra is a subalgebra of the ring of invariants which separates the orbits. Although separating algebras are often better behaved than the ring of invariants, we show that many of the criteria…

We present a comonadic approach to pretorsion theories on semiexact categories, i.e. categories equipped with a closed ideal of null morphisms that admits all kernels and all cokernels. We first prove that bihereditary pretorsion theories…

We consider the problem of constructing semisimple subalgebras of real (semi-) simple Lie algebras. We develop computational methods that help to deal with this problem. Our methods boil down to solving a set of polynomial equations. In…

We study the problem of whether a coalgebra that generates its category of left (right) comodules is left (right) quasi-coFrobenius or not. We prove it does not hold in general, by giving a method of constructing counterexamples. This gives…

Abstractly, the generic extensions after $\aleph_\omega$-many Cohen reals and $\aleph_{\omega+1}$-many Cohen reals must be different for reasons of uniform density the relevant Boolean algebras. Nevertheless this is not satisfying and it…

The problem of embedding an ample semigroup in an inverse semigroup as a (2, 1, 1)-type subalgebra is known to be undecidable. In this article, we investigate the problem for certain classes of ample semigroups. We also give examples of…

We introduce quantum Boolean algebras which are the analogue of the Weyl algebras for Boolean affine spaces. We study quantum Boolean algebras from the logical and set theoretical viewpoints.

We extend the notion of semi-infinite cohomology of Lie algebras to include cases where the Lie algebra does not admit a semi-infinite structure but satisfies a mild condition. Our construction clarifies the definition of affine W-algebras…

We prove that the central sequence algebra of a separable C*-algebra is either subhomogeneous or non-exact, confirming a conjecture of Enders and Shulman. We also prove analogous dichotomy for other massive C*-algebras.

Generalized power sums are linear combinations of i-th powers of coordinates. We consider subalgebras of the polynomial algebra generated by generalized power sums, and study when such algebras are Cohen-Macaulay. It turns out that the…
