We show that when a finitely presented Bestvina–Brady group splits as an amalgamated product over a subgroup $H$, its defining graph contains an induced separating subgraph whose associated Bestvina–Brady group is contained in a conjugate of $H$.

In Caspers et al. (Can. J. Math. 75[6] [2022], 1–18), transference results between multilinear Fourier and Schur multipliers on noncommutative $L_p$-spaces were shown for unimodular groups. We propose a suitable extension of the definition of multilinear Fourier multipliers for non-unimodular groups and show that the aforementioned transference results also hold in this more general setting.

The monogenic free inverse semigroup $FI_1$ is not finitely presented as a semigroup due to the classic result by Schein (1975). We extend this result and prove that a finitely generated subsemigroup of $FI_1$ is finitely presented if and only if it contains only finitely many idempotents. As a consequence, we derive that an inverse subsemigroup of $FI_1$ is finitely presented as a semigroup if and only if it is a finite semilattice.

We consider the space $\mathcal{P}_d$ of smooth complex projective plane curves of degree $d$. There is the tautological family of plane curves defined over $\mathcal{P}_d$, which has an associated monodromy representation $\rho _d: \pi _1(\mathcal{P}_d) \to \textrm{Mod}(\Sigma _g)$ into the mapping class group of the fiber. For $d \le 4$, classical algebraic geometry implies the surjectivity of $\rho _d$. For $d \ge 5$, the existence of a $(d-3)^{rd}$ root of the canonical bundle implies that $\rho _d$ cannot be surjective. The main result of this paper is that for $d = 5$, the image of $\rho _5$ is as large as possible, subject to this constraint. This requires combining the algebro-geometric work of Lönne with Johnson’s theory of the Torelli subgroup of $\textrm{Mod}(\Sigma _g)$.

We study Morita equivalence for idempotent rings with involution. Following the ideas of Rieffel, we define Rieffel contexts, and we also introduce Morita $*$-contexts and enlargements for rings with involution. We prove that two idempotent rings with involution have a joint enlargement if and only if they are connected by a unitary and full Rieffel context. These conditions are also equivalent to having a unitary and surjective Morita $*$-context between those rings. We also examine how the mentioned conditions are connected to the existence of certain equivalence functors between the categories of firm modules over the given rings with involution.

In this paper, we establish a new version of one-dimensional discrete improved Hardy’s inequality with shifts by introducing a shifting discrete Dirichlet’s Laplacian. We prove that the general discrete Hardy’s inequality as well as its variants in some special cases admit improvements. Further, it is proved that two-variable discrete $p$-Hardy inequality can also be improved via improved discrete $p$-Hardy inequality in one dimension. The result is also extended to the multivariable cases.

We establish new results on complex and $p$-adic linear independence on a class of semiabelian varieties. As applications, we obtain transcendence results concerning complex and $p$-adic Weierstrass sigma functions associated with elliptic curves.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring, and then the notion of a $T$-split sequence was introduced in the part-1 of this paper for the $\mathfrak{m}$-adic filtration with the help of the numerical function $e^T_A$. In this article, we explore the relation between Auslander–Reiten (AR)-sequences and $T$-split sequences. For a Gorenstein ring $(A,\mathfrak{m})$, we define a Hom-finite Krull–Remak–Schmidt category $\mathcal{D}_A$ as a quotient of the stable category $\underline{\mathrm{CM}}(A)$. This category preserves isomorphism, that is, $M\cong N$ in $\mathcal{D}_A$ if and only if $M\cong N$ in $\underline{\mathrm{CM}}(A)$.This article has two objectives: first objective is to extend the notion of $T$-split sequences, and second objective is to explore the function $e^T_A$ and $T$-split sequences. When $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ is an analytically unramified Cohen–Macaulay local ring and $I$ is an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal, then we extend the techniques in part-1 of this paper to the integral closure filtration with respect to $I$ and prove a version of Brauer–Thrall-II for a class of such rings.

In this paper, we deal with a weighted eigenvalue problem for the anisotropic $(p,q)$-Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study the main properties of the first eigenvalue and a reverse Hölder type inequality for the corresponding eigenfunctions.

A classification of multiplication modules over multiplication rings with finitely many minimal primes is obtained. A characterization of multiplication rings with finitely many minimal primes is given via faithful, Noetherian, distributive modules. It is proven that for a multiplication ring with finitely many minimal primes every faithful, Noetherian, distributive module is a faithful multiplication module, and vice versa.

We provide a general recursive method for constructing transfer systems on finite lattices. Using this, we calculate the number of homotopically distinct $N_{\infty} $ operads for dihedral groups $D_{p^n}$, $p \gt 2$ prime, and cyclic groups $C_{qp^n}$, $p \neq q$ prime. We then further display some of the beautiful combinatorics obtained by restricting to certain homotopically meaningful $N_\infty$ operads for these groups.

Let $M$ be an oriented smooth manifold and $\operatorname{Homeo}\!(M,\omega )$ the group of measure preserving homeomorphisms of $M$, where $\omega$ is a finite measure induced by a volume form. In this paper, we define volume and Euler classes in bounded cohomology of an infinite dimensional transformation group $\operatorname{Homeo}_0\!(M,\omega )$ and $\operatorname{Homeo}_+\!(M,\omega )$, respectively, and in several cases prove their non-triviality. More precisely, we define:

• • Volume classes in $\operatorname{H}_b^n(\operatorname{Homeo}_0\!(M,\omega ))$, where $M$ is a hyperbolic manifold of dimension $n$.

• • Euler classes in $\operatorname{H}_b^2(\operatorname{Homeo}_+(S,\omega ))$, where $S$ is an oriented closed hyperbolic surface.

We show that Euler classes have positive norms for any closed hyperbolic surface and volume classes have positive norms for all hyperbolic surfaces and certain hyperbolic $3$-manifolds; hence, they are non-trivial.

We study the vectorial length compactification of the space of conjugacy classes of maximal representations of the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of a closed hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$ in $\textrm{PSL}(2,{\mathbb{R}})^n$. We identify the boundary with the sphere ${\mathbb{P}}(({\mathcal{ML}})^n)$, where $\mathcal{ML}$ is the space of measured geodesic laminations on $\Sigma$. In the case $n=2$, we give a geometric interpretation of the boundary as the space of homothety classes of ${\mathbb{R}}^2$-mixed structures on $\Sigma$. We associate to such a structure a dual tree-graded space endowed with an ${\mathbb{R}}_+^2$-valued metric, which we show to be universal with respect to actions on products of two $\mathbb{R}$-trees with the given length spectrum.

We prove the Girth Alternative for finitely generated subgroups of $PL_o(I)$. We also prove that a finitely generated subgroup of Homeo$_{+}(I)$ which is sufficiently rich with hyperbolic-like elements has infinite girth.
