The object of study is the group of units 𝒪*(X) in the coordinate ring of a normal affine variety X over an algebraically closed field k. Methods of Galois cohomology are applied to those varieties that can be presented as a finite cyclic cover of a rational variety. On a cyclic cover X → 𝔸m of affine m-space over k such that the ramification divisor is irreducible and the degree is prime, it is shown that 𝒪*(X) is equal to k*, the non-zero scalars. The same conclusion holds, if X is a sufficiently general affine hyperelliptic curve. If X has a projective completion such that the divisor at infinity has r components, then sufficient conditions are given for 𝒪*(X)/k* to be isomorphic to ℤ(r-1).

Free Subgroups

Let G be a group, ZG the group ring of G over the ring Z of integers, and U(ZG) the group of units of ZG. One method of investigating U(ZG) is to choose some property of groups and try to determine the groups G such that U(ZG) enjoys that property. For example Sehgal and Zassenhaus [9] have given necessary and sufficient conditions for U(ZG) to be nilpotent (see also [7]), and the same authors have investigated when U(ZG) is an FC (finite-conjugate) group [10]. For a survey of related questions, see [3]. In this paper we consider when U(ZG) contains a free subgroup of rank 2. We conjecture that if this does not happen, then every finite subgroup of G is normal, from which various other conclusions then follow (see Lemma 4).

General Reduction

Abstract “Even more so is the word ‘crystalline’, a glacial and impersonal concept of his which disdains viewing existence from a single portion of time and space” Eileen Myles, “The Importance of Being Iceland” For a smooth variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ to a differential 1-form $\alpha $ on the Frobenius twist $X^{\textrm{(1)}}$ one can associate an Azumaya algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }$, defined as a certain central reduction of the algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_X$ of “crystalline differential operators” on $X$. For a resolution of singularities $\pi :X\to Y$ of an affine variety $Y$, we study for which $\alpha $ the class $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ in the Brauer group $\textrm{Br}(X^{\textrm{(1)}})$ descends to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$. In the case when $X$ is symplectic, this question is related to Fedosov quantizations in characteristic $p$ and the construction of noncommutative resolutions of $Y$. We prove that the classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend étale locally for all $\alpha $ if ${{\mathcal{O}}}_Y\widetilde{\rightarrow }\pi _\ast{{\mathcal{O}}}_X$ and $R^{1}\pi _*\mathcal O_X = R^2\pi _*\mathcal O_X =0$. We also define a certain class of resolutions, which we call resolutions with conical slices, and prove that for a general reduction of a resolution with conical slices in characteristic $0$ to an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$ globally for all $\alpha $. Finally we give some examples; in particular, we show that Slodowy slices, Nakajima quiver varieties, and hypertoric varieties are resolutions with conical slices.

The Relationship

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

AbstractLet A be a finite dimensional associative K-algebra with an identity over an algebraically closed field K, d a natural number, and modA(d) the affine variety of d-dimensional A-modules. The general linear group Gld(K) acts on modA(d) by conjugation, and the orbits correspond to the isomorphism classes of d-dimensional modules. For M and N in modA(d), N is called a degeneration of M, if TV belongs to the closure of the orbit of M. This defines a partial order ≤deg on modA(d). There has been a work [1], [10], [11], [21] connecting ≤deg with other partial orders ≤ext and ≤deg on modA(d) defined in terms of extensions and homomorphisms. In particular, it is known that these partial orders coincide in the case A is representation-finite and its Auslander-Reiten quiver is directed. We study degenerations of modules from the additive categories given by connected components of the Auslander-Reiten quiver of A having oriented cycles. We show that the partial orders ≤ext, ≤deg and < coincide on modules from the additive categories of quasi-tubes [24], and describe minimal degenerations of such modules. Moreover, we show that M ≤degN does not imply M ≤ext N for some indecomposable modules M and N lying in coils in the sense of [4].

AbstractIn this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the group of units of a group ring of a finite group G over a field K does not contain a free subgroup of rank 2.Some extensions of this results to infinite nilpotent and FC groups are also considered.

AbstractWe give a criterion in order that an affine variety defined over any field has a complete intersection (ci.) embedding into some affine space. Moreover we give an example of a smooth real curve C all of whose embeddings into affine spaces are c.i.; nevertheless it has an embedding into ℝ3 which cannot be realized as a c.i. by polynomials.

Genus One

SynopsisA result proved elsewhere concerning the structure of linear algebras of genus one is used (i) to classify Jordan algebras of genus one, and (ii) to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an algebra of genus one to be simple. The class of simple Jordan algebras of genus one and dimension not less than 4 over an algebraically closed field is shown to coincide with the class of simple Jordan algebras of degree two.

This paper derives some sufficient conditions for the global validity of projective relativity theory. The basic object of study is the infinitesimal bundle, which is a generalization of a principal circle bundle. A method ofconstructing infinitesimal bundles is developed. The main result is that ifspacetime is non-compact and simply connected, and has a finite homology basis, then projective relativity is globally valid.

Let P and Q be polynomials in one variable over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero. Let f and g be elements of a function field K over k such that P(f) = Q(g). We give conditions on P and Q such that the height of f and g can be effectively bounded, and moreover, we give sufficient conditions on P and Q under which f and g must be constant.
