Abstract Many bundle gerbes are either infinite-dimensional, or finite-dimensional but built using submersions that are far from being fibre bundles. Murray and Stevenson [‘A note on bundle gerbes and infinite-dimensionality’, J. Aust. Math. Soc.90(1) (2011), 81–92] proved that gerbes on simply-connected manifolds, built from finite-dimensional fibre bundles with connected fibres, always have a torsion $DD$ -class. I prove an analogous result for a wide class of gerbes built from principal bundles, relaxing the requirements on the fundamental group of the base and the connected components of the fibre, allowing both to be nontrivial. This has consequences for possible models for basic gerbes, the classification of crossed modules of finite-dimensional Lie groups, the coefficient Lie-2-algebras for higher gauge theory on principal 2-bundles and finite-dimensional twists of topological K-theory.

Abstract Potential algebras feature in the minimal model program and noncommutative resolution of singularities, and the important cases are when they are finite dimensional, or of linear growth. We develop techniques, involving Gröbner basis theory and generalized Golod–Shafarevich-type theorems for potential algebras, to determine finiteness conditions in terms of the potential. We consider two-generated potential algebras. Using Gröbner bases techniques and arguing in terms of associated truncated algebra we prove that they cannot have dimension smaller than 8. This answers a question of Wemyss [21], related to the geometric argument of Toda [17]. We derive from the improved version of the Golod–Shafarevich theorem, that if the potential has only terms of degree 5 or higher, then the potential algebra is infinite dimensional. We prove that potential algebra for any homogeneous potential of degree $n\geqslant 3$ is infinite dimensional. The proof includes a complete classification of all potentials of degree 3. Then we introduce a certain version of Koszul complex, and prove that in the class $\mathcal {P}_{n}$ of potential algebras with homogeneous potential of degree $n+1\geqslant 4$, the minimal Hilbert series is $H_{n}=\frac {1}{1-2t+2t^{n}-t^{n+1}}$, so they are all infinite dimensional. Moreover, growth could be polynomial (but nonlinear) for the potential of degree 4, and is always exponential for potential of degree starting from 5. For one particular type of potential we prove a conjecture by Wemyss, which relates the difference of dimensions of potential algebra and its abelianization with Gopakumar–Vafa invariants.

We give a classification of many closed Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover [Formula: see text] possesses a nontrivial amount of symmetry. More precisely, we consider closed Riemannian manifolds M such that [Formula: see text] has noncompact connected components. We prove that in many cases, such a manifold is as a fiber bundle over a locally homogeneous space. This is inspired by work of Eberlein (for non-positively curved manifolds) and Farb-Weinberger (for aspherical manifolds), and generalizes work of Frankel (for a semisimple group action). As an application, we characterize simply-connected Riemannian manifolds with both compact and finite volume noncompact quotients.

Abstract. We give a complete classification of the infinite dimensional tilting modules over a tame hereditary algebra R. We start our investigations by considering tilting modules of the form where is a union of tubes, and denotes the universal localization of R at in the sense of Schofield and Crawley-Boevey. Here is a direct sum of the Prüfer modules corresponding to the tubes in . Over the Kronecker algebra, large tilting modules are of this form in all but one case, the exception being the Lukas tilting module L whose tilting class consists of all modules without indecomposable preprojective summands. Over an arbitrary tame hereditary algebra, T can have finite dimensional summands, but the infinite dimensional part of T is still built up from universal localizations, Prüfer modules and (localizations of) the Lukas tilting module. We also recover the classification of the infinite dimensional cotilting R-modules due to Buan and Krause.

AbstractLet be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over the complex numbers C. Fernando reduced the classification of infinite dimensional simple -modules with a finite dimensional weight space to determining the simple torsion free -modules for of type A or C. Thesemodules were determined by Mathieu and using his work we provide a more elementary construction realizing each one as a submodule of an easily constructed tensor product module.

AbstractThis paper deals with generalizations of the notion of a polytope to infinite dimensions. The most general definition is the following: a bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space is called a polytope if each of its finite-dimensional affine sections is a (standard) polytope.We study the relationships between eight known definitions of infinite-dimensional polyhedrality. We provide a complete isometric classification of them, which gives solutions to several open problems. An almost complete isomorphic classification is given as well (only one implication remains open).

Using a combinatorial description due to Jacon and Lecouvey of the wall crossing bijections for cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebras, we show that the irreducible representations [Formula: see text] of the rational Cherednik algebra [Formula: see text] of type [Formula: see text] for symmetric bipartitions [Formula: see text] are infinite dimensional for all parameters [Formula: see text]. In particular, all finite dimensional irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras of type [Formula: see text] arise as restrictions of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of rational Cherednik algebras of type [Formula: see text].

AbstractLet (P,Y ) be a bundle gerbe over a fibre bundle Y →M. We show that if M is simply connected and the fibres of Y →M are connected and finite-dimensional, then the Dixmier–Douady class of (P,Y ) is torsion. This corrects and extends an earlier result of the first author.

In this paper, we studied the jet modules for the centerless Virasoro-like algebra which is the Lie algebra of the Lie group of the area-preserving diffeomorphisms of a [Formula: see text]-torus. The jet modules are certain natural modules over the Lie algebra of semi-direct product of the centerless Virasoro-like algebra and the Laurent polynomial algebra in two variables. We reduce the irreducible jet modules to the finite-dimensional irreducible modules over some infinite-dimensional Lie algebra and then characterize the irreducible jet modules with irreducible finite dimensional modules over [Formula: see text]. To determine the indecomposable jet modules, we use the technique of polynomial modules in the sense of [Irreducible representations for toroidal Lie algebras, J. Algebras 221 (1999) 188–231; Weight modules over exp-polynomial Lie algebras, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 191 (2004) 23–42]. Consequently, indecomposable jet modules are described using modules over the algebra [Formula: see text], which is the “positive part” of a Block type algebra studied first by [Some infinite-dimensional simple Lie algebras in characteristic [Formula: see text] related to those of Block, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 127(2) (1998) 153–165] and recently by [A [Formula: see text]-graded generalization of the Witt-algebra, preprint; Classification of simple Lie algebras on a lattice, Proc. London Math. Soc. 106(3) (2013) 508–564]).

Nichols algebras are fundamental objects in the construction of quantized enveloping algebras and in the classification of pointed Hopf algebras by the lifting method of Andruskiewitsch and Schneider. The structure of Cartan graphs can be attached to any Nichols algebras of diagonal type and plays an important role in the classification of Nichols algebras of diagonal type with a finite root system. In this paper, the main properties of all simply connected Cartan graphs attached to rank 6 Nichols algebras of diagonal type are determined. As an application, we obtain a subclass of rank 6 finite dimensional Nichols algebras of diagonal type.

We show that the universal associative envelope of the simple anti-Jordan triple system of all [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] is even, [Formula: see text]) matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is finite-dimensional. The monomial basis and the center of the universal envelope are determined. The explicit decomposition of the universal envelope into matrix algebras is given. The classification of finite-dimensional irreducible representations of an anti-Jordan triple system is obtained. The semi-simplicity of the universal envelope is shown. We also show that the universal associative envelope of the simple polarized anti-Jordan triple system of [Formula: see text] matrices is infinite-dimensional.
