AbstractWe prove that, ifXis a variety over an uncountable algebraically closed fieldkof characteristic zero, then any irreducible exceptional divisorEon a resolution of singularities ofXwhich is not uniruled, belongs to the image of the Nash map, i.e. corresponds to an irreducible component of the space of arcs$X_\infty^{\mathrm{Sing}}$onXcentred in SingX. This reduces the Nash problem of arcs to understanding which uniruled essential divisors are in the image of the Nash map, more generally, how to determine the uniruled essential divisors from the space of arcs.

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

AbstractIt is shown that the following conditions on a finite-dimensional algebra A over a real closed field or an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are equivalent: (i) A admits a special involution, in the sense of Easdown and Munn, (ii) A admits a proper involution, (iii) A is semisimple.

In “Seminormal rings and weakly normal varieties” we introduced the notion of a c-regular function on an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Our intention was to describe those k-valued functions on a variety X that become regular functions when lifted to the normalization of X, but without any reference to the normalization in the definition. That is, we aspired to identify the c-regular functions on X with the regular functions on the weak normalization of X

This paper contributes to the classification of finite dimensional Hopf algebras. It is shown that every Hopf algebra of dimension 30 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is semisimple and thus isomorphic to a group algebra or the dual of a group algebra.

AbstractLet Mn be the algebra of n × n matrices over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. For A ∊ Mn, denote by the collection of all matrices in Mn that are similar to A. In this paper we characterize those invertible linear operators ϕ on Mn that satisfy , where for some given A1,..., Ak ∊ Mn and denotes the (Zariski) closure of S. Our theorem covers a result of Howard on linear operators mapping the set of matrices annihilated by a given polynomial into itself, and extends a result of Chan and Lim on linear operators commuting with the function f(x) = xk for a given positive integer k ≥ 2. The possibility of weakening the invertibility assumption in our theorem is considered, a partial answer to a conjecture of Howard is given, and some extensions of our result to arbitrary fields are discussed.

AbstractLet F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let A be an associative unitary F-algebra graded by a group of prime order. We prove that if A is finite dimensional then the graded exponent of A exists and is an integer.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In this paper, we prove that fusion categories of Frobenius–Perron dimensions 84 and 90 are of Frobenius type. Combining this with previous results in the literature, we obtain that every weakly integral fusion category of Frobenius–Perron dimension less than 120 is of Frobenius type.
