AbstractLet G0 and G1 be countable abelian groups. Let γi be an automorphism of Gi of order two. Then there exists a unital Kirchberg algebra A satisfying the Universal Coefficient Theorem and with [1A] = 0 in K0(A), and an automorphism α ∈ Aut(A) of order two, such that K0(A) ≅ G0, such that K1(A) ≅ G1, and such that α* : Ki(A) → Ki(A) is γi. As a consequence, we prove that every -graded countable module over the representation ring R() of is isomorphic to the equivariant K-theory K (A) for some action of on a unital Kirchberg algebra A.Along the way, we prove that every not necessarily finitely generated []-module which is free as a -module has a direct sum decomposition with only three kinds of summands, namely [] itself and on which the nontrivial element of acts either trivially or by multiplication by −1.

AbstractLet A be a separable amenable purely infinite simple C*-algebra which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that A is weakly semiprojective if and only if Ki(A) is a countable direct sum of finitely generated groups (i = 0, 1). Therefore, if A is such a C*-algebra, for any ε > 0 and any finite subset ℱ ⊂ A there exist δ > 0 and a finite subset ⊂ A satisfying the following: for any contractive positive linear map L : A → B (for any C*-algebra B) with ∥L(ab) – L(a)L(b)∥ < δ for a, b ∈ there exists a homomorphism h: A → B such that ∥h(a) – L(a)∥ < ε for a ∈ ℱ.

Abstract We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra A generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has decomposition rank at most 3. If, in addition, A satisfies the universal coefficient theorem, another string of deep results shows it is classifiable by its ordered K-theory and is approximately subhomogeneous. We observe that all C*-algebras generated by faithful irreducible representations of finitely generated, torsion free nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem.

AbstractThe article studies the class of abelian groups G such that in every direct sum decomposition G = A ⊕ B, A is 5-projective. Such groups are called pds groups and they properly include the quasi-projective groups.The pds torsion groups are fully determined.The torsion-free case depends on a lemma that establishes freedom in the non-indecomposable case for several classes of groups. There is evidence suggesting freedom in the general reduced torsion-free case but this is not established and prompts a logical discussion. It is shown, for example, that pds torsion-free groups must be Whitehead if they are not indecomposable, but that there exists Whitehead groups that are not pds if there exist non-free Whitehead groups.The mixed case is characterized and examples are given.

Recently H. Marubayashi [1,2] and S. Singh [10,11,12] generalized some results of torsion abelian groups for modules over some restricted rings, like bounded Dedekind prime rings, bounded hereditary Noetherian prime rings. Singh [12] introduced the concept of h-purity for a module MR satisfying the following conditions:(I) Every finitely generated submodule of every homomorphic image of M is a direct sum of uniserial modules.

AbstractLet X be a $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q -factorial complete toric variety over an algebraic closed field of characteristic 0. There is a canonical injection of the Picard group $$\mathrm{Pic}(X)$$ Pic ( X ) in the group $$\mathrm{Cl}(X)$$ Cl ( X ) of classes of Weil divisors. These two groups are finitely generated abelian groups; while the first one is a free group, the second one may have torsion. We investigate algebraic and geometrical conditions under which the image of $$\mathrm{Pic}(X)$$ Pic ( X ) in $$\mathrm{Cl}(X)$$ Cl ( X ) is contained in a free part of the latter group.

Abstract We prove that all invariant random subgroups of the lamplighter group L are co-sofic. It follows that L is permutation stable, providing an example of an infinitely presented such group. Our proof applies more generally to all permutational wreath products of finitely generated abelian groups. We rely on the pointwise ergodic theorem for amenable groups.

AbstractThe function {\mathrm{F}_{G}(n)} gives the maximum order of a finite group needed to distinguish a nontrivial element of G from the identity with a surjective group morphism as one varies over nontrivial elements of word length at most n. In previous work [M. Pengitore, Effective separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups, New York J. Math. 24 2018, 83–145], the author claimed a characterization for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. However, a counterexample to the above claim was communicated to the author, and consequently, the statement of the asymptotic characterization of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} is incorrect. In this article, we introduce new tools to provide lower asymptotic bounds for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. Moreover, we introduce a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups for which the upper bound of the above article can be improved. Finally, we construct a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups N for which the asymptotic behavior of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} can be fully characterized.

We define prime uniserial modules as a generalization of uniserial modules. We say that an [Formula: see text]-module [Formula: see text] is prime uniserial ([Formula: see text]-uniserial) if its prime submodules are linearly ordered by inclusion, and we say that [Formula: see text] is prime serial ([Formula: see text]-serial) if it is a direct sum of [Formula: see text]-uniserial modules. The goal of this paper is to study [Formula: see text]-serial modules over commutative rings. First, we study the structure [Formula: see text]-serial modules over almost perfect domains and then we determine the structure of [Formula: see text]-serial modules over Dedekind domains. Moreover, we discuss the following natural questions: “Which rings have the property that every module is [Formula: see text]-serial?” and “Which rings have the property that every finitely generated module is [Formula: see text]-serial?”.

Let Λ be a commutative local uniserial ring of length n, p be a generator of the maximal ideal, and k be the radical factor field. The pairs (B, A) where B is a finitely generated Λ-module and A ⊆B a submodule of B such that pmA = 0 form the objects in the category [Formula: see text]. We show that in case m = 2 the categories [Formula: see text] are in fact quite similar to each other: If also Δ is a commutative local uniserial ring of length n and with radical factor field k, then the categories [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are equivalent for certain nilpotent categorical ideals [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. As an application, we recover the known classification of all pairs (B, A) where B is a finitely generated abelian group and A ⊆ B a subgroup of B which is p2-bounded for a given prime number p.
