Let $C_c^{*}(\mathbb{N}^{2})$ be the universal $C^{*}$-algebra generated by a semigroup of isometries $\{v_{(m,n)}\,:\, m,n \in \mathbb{N}\}$ whose range projections commute. We analyse the structure of KMS states on $C_{c}^{*}(\mathbb{N}^2)$ for the time evolution determined by a homomorphism $c\,:\,\mathbb{Z}^{2} \to \mathbb{R}$. In contrast to the reduced version $C_{red}^{*}(\mathbb{N}^{2})$, we show that the set of KMS states on $C_{c}^{*}(\mathbb{N}^{2})$ has a rich structure. In particular, we exhibit uncountably many extremal KMS states of type I, II and III.

John Rognes developed a notion of Galois extension of commutative ring spectra, and this includes a criterion for identifying an extension as unramified. Ramification for commutative ring spectra can be detected by relative topological Hochschild homology and by topological André–Quillen homology. In the classical algebraic context, it is important to distinguish between tame and wild ramification. Noether’s theorem characterizes tame ramification in terms of a normal basis, and tame ramification can also be detected via the surjectivity of the trace map. For commutative ring spectra, we suggest to study the Tate construction as a suitable analog. It tells us at which integral primes there is tame or wild ramification, and we determine its homotopy type in examples in the context of topological K-theory and topological modular forms.

We determine the dimensions of $\textrm{Ext}$-groups between simple modules and dual generalized Verma modules in singular blocks of parabolic versions of category $\mathcal{O}$ for complex semisimple Lie algebras and affine Kac-Moody algebras.

We study a family of finitely generated residually finite small-cancellation groups. These groups are quotients of $F_2$ depending on a subset $S$ of positive integers. Varying $S$ yields continuously many groups up to quasi-isometry.

A theorem of Brady and Meier states that a right-angled Artin group is a duality group if and only if the flag complex of the defining graph is Cohen–Macaulay. We use this to give an example of a RAAG with the property that its outer automorphism group is not a virtual duality group. This gives a partial answer to a question of Vogtmann. In an appendix, Brück describes how he used a computer-assisted search to find further examples.

Let $p \;:\; Y \to X$ be a finite, regular cover of finite graphs with associated deck group $G$, and consider the first homology $H_1(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}})$ of the cover as a $G$-representation. The main contribution of this article is to broaden the correspondence and dictionary between the representation theory of the deck group $G$ on the one hand and topological properties of homology classes in $H_1(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}})$ on the other hand. We do so by studying certain subrepresentations in the $G$-representation $H_1(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}})$.

The homology class of a lift of a primitive element in $\pi _1(X)$ spans an induced subrepresentation in $H_1(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}})$, and we show that this property is never sufficient to characterize such homology classes if $G$ is Abelian. We study $H_1^{\textrm{comm}}(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}}) \leq H_1(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}})$—the subrepresentation spanned by homology classes of lifts of commutators of primitive elements in $\pi _1(X)$. Concretely, we prove that the span of such a homology class is isomorphic to the quotient of two induced representations. Furthermore, we construct examples of finite covers with $H_1^{\textrm{comm}}(Y;\;{\mathbb{C}}) \neq \ker\!(p_*)$.

This paper is devoted to the study of generalized tilting theory of functor categories in different levels. First, we extend Miyashita’s proof (Math Z 193:113–146,1986) of the generalized Brenner–Butler theorem to arbitrary functor categories $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits\!(\mathcal{C})$ with $\mathcal{C}$ an annuli variety. Second, a hereditary and complete cotorsion pair generated by a generalized tilting subcategory $\mathcal{T}$ of $\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C})$ is constructed. Some applications of these two results include the equivalence of Grothendieck groups $K_0(\mathcal{C})$ and $K_0(\mathcal{T})$, the existences of a new abelian model structure on the category of complexes $\mathop{\textrm{C}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits\!(\mathcal{C}))$, and a t-structure on the derived category $\mathop{\textrm{D}}\nolimits \!(\!\mathop{\textrm{Mod}}\nolimits \!(\mathcal{C}))$.

In this work, we study the Humbert-Edge curves of type 5, defined as a complete intersection of four diagonal quadrics in ${\mathbb{P}}^5$. We characterize them using Kummer surfaces, and using the geometry of these surfaces, we construct some vanishing thetanulls on such curves. In addition, we describe an argument to give an isomorphism between the moduli space of Humbert-Edge curves of type 5 and the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2, and we show how this argument can be generalized to state an isomorphism between the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g=\frac{n-1}{2}$ and the moduli space of Humbert-Edge curves of type $n\geq 5$ where $n$ is an odd number.

A. Mark and J. Paupert [Presentations for cusped arithmetic hyperbolic lattices, 2018, arXiv:1709.06691.] presented a method to compute a presentation for any cusped complex hyperbolic lattice. In this note, we will use their method to give a presentation for the Eisenstein-Picard modular group in three complex dimensions.

We study Cayley graphs of abelian groups from the perspective of quantum symmetries. We develop a general strategy for determining the quantum automorphism groups of such graphs. Applying this procedure, we find the quantum symmetries of the halved cube graph, the folded cube graph, and the Hamming graphs.

We investigate symmetry of the silting quiver of a given algebra which is induced by an anti-automorphism of the algebra. In particular, one shows that if there is a primitive idempotent fixed by the anti-automorphism, then the 2-silting quiver ($=$ the support $\tau$-tilting quiver) has a bisection. Consequently, in that case, we obtain that the cardinality of the 2-silting quiver is an even number (if it is finite).

This paper studies the structure and preservational properties of lower bounded HNN extensions of inverse semigroups, as introduced by Jajcayová. We show that if $S^* = [ S;\; U_1,U_2;\; \phi ]$ is a lower bounded HNN extension then the maximal subgroups of $S^*$ may be described using Bass-Serre theory, as the fundamental groups of certain graphs of groups defined from the $\mathcal{D}$-classes of $S$, $U_1$ and $U_2$. We then obtain a number of results concerning when inverse semigroup properties are preserved under the HNN extension construction. The properties considered are completely semisimpleness, having finite $\mathcal{R}$-classes, residual finiteness, being $E$-unitary, and $0$-$E$-unitary. Examples are given, such as an HNN extension of a polycylic inverse monoid.

We establish some properties of $\tau$-exceptional sequences for finite-dimensional algebras. In an earlier paper, we established a bijection between the set of ordered support $\tau$-tilting modules and the set of complete signed $\tau$-exceptional sequences. We describe the action of the symmetric group on the latter induced by its natural action on the former. Similarly, we describe the effect on a $\tau$-exceptional sequence obtained by mutating the corresponding ordered support $\tau$-tilting module via a construction of Adachi-Iyama-Reiten.

We derive an upper bound on the density of Jones polynomials of knots modulo a prime number $p$, within a sufficiently large degree range: $4/p^7$. As an application, we classify knot Jones polynomials modulo two of span up to eight.
