Abstract A classical result about unit equations says that if Γ1 and Γ2 are finitely generated subgroups of ${\mathbb C}^\times$, then the equation x + y = 1 has only finitely many solutions with x ∈ Γ1 and y ∈ Γ2. We study a non-commutative analogue of the result, where $\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2$ are finitely generated subsemigroups of the multiplicative group of a quaternion algebra. We prove an analogous conclusion when both semigroups are generated by algebraic quaternions with norms greater than 1 and one of the semigroups is commutative. As an application in dynamics, we prove that if f and g are endomorphisms of a curve C of genus 1 over an algebraically closed field k, and deg( f), deg(g)≥ 2, then f and g have a common iterate if and only if some forward orbit of f on C(k) has infinite intersection with an orbit of g.

Throughout this paper all rings considered will be commutative, noetherian with identity. If R is such a ring and M is a finitely generated R-module, we shall use v(M) to denote that non-negative integer with the property that M can be generated by v(M) elements but not by fewer.Since every ideal in a noetherian ring is finitely generated, it is a natural question to ask what v(I) is for a given ideal I. Hilbert's Nullstellensatz may be viewed as the first general theorem dealing with this question, answering it when I is a maximal ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field.More recently, it has been noticed that the properties of an R-ideal I are intertwined with those of the R-module I/I2.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Let T be an n-dimensional algebraic torus, i.e. T = Gm × · · · × Gm n-times), where Gm = Spec (k[t, t-1]) is the multiplicative group.

AbstractWe provide a general framework for studying the expansion of strongly minimal sets by adding additional relations in the style of Hrushovski. We introduce a notion of separation of quantifiers which is a condition on the class of expansions of finitely generated models for the expanded theory to have a countable ω-saturated model. We apply these results to construct for each sufficiently fast growing finite-to-one function μ from ‘primitive extensions’ to the natural numbers a theory Tμ of an expansion of an algebraically closed field which has Morley rank 2. Finally, we show that if μ is not finite-to-one the theory may not be ω-stable.

Let X be an algebraic (complete) variety over a fixed algebraically closed field k. To every Cartier divisor D on X, we can associate the graded k-algebra . As is known, for a semi-ample divisor D, R(X, D) is a finitely generated k-algebra (see [21] or [9]), while this property is no longer true for arbitrary nef and big divisors (see [21]).

AbstractLet A be a domain over an algebraically closed field with Gelfand–Kirillov dimension in the interval [2,3). We prove that if A has two locally nilpotent skew derivations satisfying some natural conditions, then A must be one of five algebras. All five algebras are Noetherian, finitely generated, and have Gelfand–Kirillov dimension equal to 2. We also obtain some results comparing the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of an algebra to its subring of invariants under a locally nilpotent skew derivation.

Over the function field of a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field, we investigate the set of S-integral elements in a forward orbit under a rational function by establishing some analogues of the classical Siegel theorem.

Let be a finite dimensional toric variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, k. Let be the sheaf of differential operators on . We show that the ring of global sections, is a finitely generated Noetherian k-algebra and that its generators can be explicitly found. We prove a similar result for the sheaf of differential operators with coefficients in a line bundle.

Let k be an algebraically closed field, and A a finite dimensional k-algebra, which we shall assume, without loss of generality, to be basic and connected. By module is meant throughout a finitely generated right A-module. Following Happel and Ringel [10], we shall say that a module Tλ is a tilting (respectively, cotilting) module if it satisfies the following three conditions:(1)(2)(3) the number of non-isomorphic indecomposable summands of T equals the rank of the Grothendieck group K0(A) of A.

AbstractWe show that over every countable algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ there exists a finitely generated $\mathbb{K}$-algebra that is Jacobson radical, infinite-dimensional, generated by two elements, graded and has quadratic growth. We also propose a way of constructing examples of algebras with quadratic growth that satisfy special types of relations.
